Hi, Fans, welcome to the Championship.Not the easiest of first matches for you, i agree. Thought we bossed the first half, then you turned it around at half time. Don't be too harsh on Gollini and his 'mis-kick'. The player he licked to was being harried by Nuhiu, not one of the most elegant of players, but difficult to shake off. You wouldn't have seen it properly, being at the far side, but before he scored,Ff beat your defender, took the ball to the by-line, cut in at a tight angle and forced an excellent save from Gollini which many GKs would not have stopped. Don't be too hard on McCormack. He's new to you, was robbed by an excellent tackle, and for the third time at S6 he had a quiet game. Two things you must bear in mind. Don't think the lower clubs are a push over in this division. They're not Believe me. Last season, on paper, we should have rolled over MK Dons Rotherham and QPR. We didn't! Also forget about complaining over Refereeing decisions. Some of the ones are CRAP. Yesterday you were complaining about some of his decisions -so were we. The other thing is to watch for the mid-week and week-end fixtures in the dead of winter, when small clubs come and 'Park the Bus'. A point away at Villa park is a scalp and if they can score on the breakaway, even more so. It's a hard, tough division to escape from. Anyway, pleased you were made welcome. Sorry you didn't get anything else. FWIW I think you will do reasonably well as you are, but will need to improve.And no more of this 'new players'. We had 3 new players in the side, most of the players playing in unfamiliar shirts, and with unfamiliar numbers. As for the traffic, its always terrible getting away from Sheffield, and there was a rather nasty accident on the Manchester Road. 4 Ambulances, and 4 Police cars trying to make their way across the general flow of traffic doesn't help. Anyway, pleased you enjoyed it. See you hopefully at Villa Park , and both in the Premiership.

Hi, there, Villa fans. Interested to read the conversations about your visit to us on Sunday. Couple of points made following WAWAW's posts. 1. If you are arriving by train, it is possible to get to the ground by tram. If you arrive at the Midland Station, exit by the main entrance and make your way into the City Centre, Fitzalan Square. There you can pick up ALL the trams. If not, go out by the far entrance and pick up a tram immediately outside the station.It should be signed 'MALIN BRIDGE'. Buy a dayrider which allows you travel on all trams. If you do this, change at either Fitzalan Sq., or Cathedral, and catch a tram for MIDDLEWOOD. Whatever you do , do NOT alight at the 'Hillsborough' stop. The Middlewood tram will carry on for a further two stops before you alight at the 'LEPPINGS LANE' stop which then leaves a short walk down to the ground, and the entrance to the West Stand, which is where you want. If you come by car, head for Penistone Road where you can park in the Wednesdayite Car Park. From here, go to the Chinese chippy at the bottom of Vere Road. This , though there may be a queue, is an excellent spot. Go along Vere Road, the turn Left. The ground is then immediately in front of you. Have a good journey, and enjoy your day, but don't repay our hospitality by taking home 3 points.
