If's and But's Started well, I wasn't expecting Bristol not to win! Bristol to beat Ipswich -- Draw Boro to draw against Preston Derby to draw against Stoke Villa to beat Forest 5 - Boro - 59 points 6 - Derby - 56 points 7 - Bristol City - 55 points 8 - Villa - 54 points 9 - Forest - 53 points

Don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere but we look to be back to normal now Top work @limpid

Is anyone else finding that Google Chrome is marking Villa Talk as an unsafe website today?

I'm in Cheltenham and it's been pouring down all morning. Wind is pretty strong as well. Going to be some surprises today.

First time I've ever read your post and agreed with it Good stuff!

100% this Does anyone remember Mahrez's first season for Leicester in the Championship? 19 games, 3 goals. Two seasons later he scored 17 goals and won the Premier League

Brilliant news, wouldn't expect to see him before Blackburn on 30/03, but we now only have two games to get through with only 4 fit defenders. Elmo Mings Tuanzebe Hause

Ridiculous statement. El Ghazi was very good yesterday, offered a lot going forward and tracked back well to help out the full back. He should have finished the chance he had, but you can't score them all. He's by far the best winger we currently have in our squad. For me we should be signing him in the summer and working on improving him as a football, he has all the attributes to be a good player for us. We've seen it before with foreign players taking time to settle into English football and I think this is the case with El Ghazi. Unsuprisingly he looks a lot better with Grealish back in the team, along with the rest of the team.

Really poor yesterday, need's to step it up for the remainder of the season. Where has last seasons Albert gone?

For those that weren't at the game yesterday... (not a dig) The wind was really moving the ball about the pitch, especially during the second half. Both of our centre backs did extremely well to deal with it as well as they did, Hause might have looked shaky at times but the conditions really didn't help him out.

Kalinic is a good keeper who hasn't had a decent run in the team yet. Pretty sure he will make the first team position his own next season after a pre-season, however Steer is doing a great job in the meantime. Hause has been brilliant at left back, he was also solid at centre back yesterday dominating in the air. Mings has been immense. Carroll looks like a good little player, unfortunately he can't stay fit. So far 3/4 signings have been great, with one yet to prove himself. There are no worries about our signings from me.

Steer Elmo Hause Mings Taylor Hourihane El Ghazi McGinn Grealish Green Abraham Whelan to replace Grealish in the second half, he may stuggle to see out 60 minutes in this one but he's vital as we all know. Kodjia and Green will also need to play a big part in this one.

He's named him Henri after another Villa legend

Comments seem a bit unfair. I thought he was absolutely class today, sometimes appeared shaky on the ball but was absolutely dominant in the air. Needs a bit of time to get into the centre back position as he did at left back.

Changed the game today when he came on, provided so much energy in the middle of the pitch.

If's and But's Some great results this week topped off with a brilliant win today, suddenly we are back in the playoff race. Midweek is a lot tougher but take the points where we can and we will slowly move our way up the table. Bristol to beat Ipswich Boro to draw against Preston Derby to draw against Stoke Villa to beat Forest 5 - Boro - 59 points 6 - Bristol City - 57 points 7 - Derby - 56 points 8 - Villa - 54 points 9 - Forest - 53 points

If's and But's (updated) Fantastic weekend for Villa, we now have a massive job to do tomorrow. Sheff Wed's lose midweek - Wednesday draw Derby lose midweek - Derby win Forest and Hull draw on Saturday - Forest win Derby and Sheff Wed's draw on Saturday - Draw Leeds beat Bristol on Saturday - Leeds win We beat Blues This could be the league table tomorrow evening 6 - Derby - 55 points 7 - Bristol - 54 points 8 - Forest - 53 points 9 - Villa - 51 points 10 - Preston - 51 points 11 - Blues - 50 points

So close in there now though, a win tomorrow take's us to 9th and four points off the playoffs. As it stands...

Draw is good, keeps Wednesday out of the picture for another week.

If results stay this way and we win the next two games we could potentially be 7th. 10 minutes to go though and a lot can change.

No not really. We went in September so also outside of the Summer season. It's worth a day trip at the least as the train journey doesn't take long. We took passports with us but didn't need them. I think they are checked on the rare occasion.

We did a day trip from Vienna as well. Unfortunately it was pouring down on the day we went so we didn't make it to the Castle but I've heard it's worth doing. The UFO Bridge was ok, nothing to write home about. Probably worth it for the sights.

I am starting to think that we have no intention of selling Jack over the summer. Smith has now mentioned that he intends to build his team around Grealish and that he has a long term future at the club.

Has anyone played this yet? I've not played any of the Metro series but this game looks incredible and the reviews look very good.
