Ratings and Reactions: Villa v Wigan

[rjw63]

Only 3 points behind the scum

[alreadyexists]

Not quite the 85-nil I was hoping for, but happy with the 3 points and closing the gap to the top ten.

[UppsalaVillan]

Results wise, today could hardly have gone better. Merry Christmas, 3 points off playoffs!

[regular_john]

Now within 3 points of the playoff spots, top work Steve Bruce!

[Ginko]

I know stats can be misleading but BBC has us down for 56% possession and 15 shots with 5 on target to Wigan's 6 with 0 on target. Were we really awful? I couldn't watch the game for myself.

Even if we were, Bruce is getting results with the same squad we started the season so poorly with. Until he brings in some of his own players to strengthen in the key areas I can't see how anyone can complain with how we play. He's worked a miracle since he's been here.

Great to get that winning feeling back and can't wait to see Grealish's wonder goal. UTV

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ANOTHER LAST MINUTE GOAL 

I SWEAR THIS CLUB IS CURSED 

 

 

...wait, what?

[brummybloke]

A wins a win no matter how we scrape the points at the moment.

Be nice to score 4 and out class teams but until Bruce can get a few players HE wants then I'm great full however we get the wins. 

 

Need to be within 12 -15 points of top 2 come Jan and I would say we have a fighting chance of auto promotion as teams can beat each other randomly.

 

 

[DoubtGin]

Crucial crucial win.

If we can play poorly and still come away with three points then that's only a positive from my point of view.

With Bruce in charge it's only a matter of time (and a couple of transfer windows) before it all clicks into place and we become more consistent quality wise.

This. We should enjoy it; we're going in the right direction. 

When you've got a unwavering dislike against the manager, you'll find any reason to have a moan, though.

Sorry to piss on a few chip dinners but the performance was very very poor and it is not about three points. We need to be performing better , much better 

Would rather have 3 points every game and play poorly than look great and lose

The lion continues to roar and teams above continue to watch their backs.  We're not out of this yet.

That was a very important win, with Wigan fighting for their lives.

SB has improved results, now for the Jan window to improve performances.

we are WIP

ps another clean sheet is good for morale/spirit too.

Nah its about the win 

[vreitti]

That's more like it Jackieboy! 

[Phumfeinz]

I was worried that heads would drop and we would revert to the form of the last five years after we lost last week but we bounced back with a win, top stuff.

[maqroll]

Anyone have link to the goal?
