Brilliant by MON.

Like I said after 30mins happy for our bench, fitness and class to pick them of in the second half.

Gabby keep it down

gabby is some legend in the big games

Ash going to shoot?

I'm happy to see this half rnd nil nil, then let our fitness and talent and bench finish them in the second half.

Havent seen a thing from Sidwell where the hell is he?

every **** decision going against us.

Nothing undeserved though I wouldn't have said

No but alot of 50 50's going there way. refs blowing for every little thing.

god damn jimmy, how many do you need?

every **** decision going against us.

We need to hit them on the break, let them think this pressure is good for them, then pow right in the kisser

Do you think they are sitting too deep for Gabby. Maybe Carew would've been better up there on his own.

Ah jimmy.

Good strength from gabby. Gym work.

Villa lads making a mockery of the sha support.

Hmm, not liking the line up of the defence. Seriously what on earth does O'Neill see in Collins? Dunne Cuellar has to be the first choice partnership. I would've kept Beye at Right Back and not played Collins.

Who knows, I wish Young was playing t be honest, easily our most solid defender.

Dreadful window. I wonder what the response would have been back in May if fans were told we wouldn't have replaced Barry and Laursen by the time the transfer window had closed?

What? We've replaced Laursen and Knight. We didn't directly relace Barry but we signed 2 midfielders one in Delph who could be great and Downing will allow Young to move into the centre.

Still it's not as if we missed out on Tuncay, Martin just did not want him, he plans for Ash to move into a free role behind the striker to make him the centre of our team once Downing is fit.

People don't see it, we didn't need Tuncay. We need a poacher not a deep playmaker like Tuncay. We play a 5 man midfield you know

I'd say between average and very good. So I'd say solid, but underwhelming. No new attacking midfielder is a bit of a dissapointment.

Petrov and Cuellar played excellent today. Glad for Gabby to get a goal, and very happy with the clean sheet. Clarke had a fine debut, although Fulham were rubbish.

Gabby and Carew are just better than Heskey so hence they're playing ahead of him. Heskey is still a useful player you know.

Petrov and Cuellar have had excellent games. One or the other deserves man of the match

This is not good.

Albrighton, and Carew please. Ash and Gabby to come off.

One Martin Laursen.

Crackin goal by Gabby. Happy for him
