That's the worst bit! It felt like the last 15 minutes were spent in their penalty box. The rest of the game was a shambles, but we really did give it all at the end.
Going by our recent results, we shouldn't get anything from this. But this is the Villa. Somehow, I can see us really giving it a go and getting something. I guess I just have a good feeling about today.
I feel like if we stay up this season, we could be a 'two' club by the end of 2014 if we carry on the way PL wants to take us, as I think he's generally got the right idea.
To be fair most of what Lambert said was encouraging, especially regarding Central midfield and defence. Not having any money to spend, however, is anything but.
I just hope last night has proven to Randy that investment this month is crucial, if he hasn't already realised. I have generally been optimistic about this season but now I'm not so sure.
Only concern with drawing is that it would give Bradford something to cling onto going into the second leg. Having said that, this is a tough game so maybe that's asking for too much.
Didn't watch it so I won't comment on individual performances. Today was very important to get some stability in the team ahead of Tuesday night and to regain confidence. Coming from behind to win will certainly have had that effect. Glad Bent played, I don't think his days at Villa Park are over yet.
