Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Ipswich

[striker]

Not missing Kodjia or Terry at the moment despite the forecasts on here.

Said it previously. Bruce with less player options is a much better manager so we’ll done to Bruce and the team.

[poitier]

Dreadfully dull game in which we were less bad than Ipswich, who were very bad indeed and contributed significantly to both of our goals. We played better in the last 30 minutes, but Ipswich had long since given up.

[Eastie]

Another win and considering our injuries we are doing well to keep the pressure on - onwards and upwards !

[terrytini]

Good performance first half. 

Very very good second half, some quality attacking play, superb commitment, great teamwork, solid defending.

I would be very very happy to watch that every week.

I’m suprised some thought it dull.

I thought our all round football second half was most enjoyable.

How do you get a blue background for your posts?

Also, I think I just saw a lower premier league team play a mid-table championship team.  The likes of snodgrass, adomah, chester, whelan, taylor etc - all good enough for 13th place in the prem.

I tell you what is really enjoyable - getting to the 90th minute and not  wondering how we're going to fudge  things up this time

Adomah had to be MOTM today but honourable mench for Whelan who I thought was great today. Not been a fan of his but form of late has been good.

It’s there I think due to when joining I was a visiting Everton fan but I’ve always liked the Villa too. I’m now a fully fledged Villa fan in mind and body but still look out for Everton results as my second team.

What the hell.. so good you had to tell us 10 times.

Fk'in phone going mental in resteraunt here.

You have my missus thinking i've some other bit of stuff on the go now!

Go small heath, doing us a favor!

Really enjoyable game today, dominated this game and broke on them at will at times.

We really are such a strong outfit in midfield!

Special mention must go to Whelan, had his best game for us today.  Kept us ticking over really nicely and made some great interceptions the few times it was needed. This was the player we thought we were getting.

MOTM could have gone to any of the midfield today or Davis who had another of those days you would have to shoot him for him to give up the ball.  Hope his injury isnt to bad as we simply need him on the pitch.

Really positive day today, chalk and cheese from mid week, and the points keep rolling in!

Ugly first half, although we never looked under any threat. 

Second half we stepped up a gear. We dominated and played some nice stuff. 

Completely comfortable throughout. 

Easy. 

[OutByEaster?]

Good.

We got better as the game went on and finished it looking like a very decent football team. We look balanced and we look like everyone knows what their job is - the whole is not an object of beauty, but the parts are all performing smoothly. We weren't as good as against QPR but we were miles better than against Sunderland and there's perhaps a hint that this side will temper performance to match opposition. I'm not sure if that's true, or the result of the performances influencing the observation, but what is clear is that we look quite hard to beat and capable of beating teams - we're I guess...efficient?

Individually, Adomah continues his dream season everything he touches turns to gold right now - but everyone did exactly what they do - Whelan was a gritty and solid, Hourihane was busy and involved, Snodgrass worked diligently, Davies held the ball, Chester defended well, Hutton got up and down the pitch and defended solidly, Taylor too - it was a day where everyone did their thing.

We're like a completed jigsaw, each piece firmly in place, solid and without holes, albeit without the prettiest of pictures.

The longer this goes on, the more I find it to my liking.

Thought we were good today, Ipswich obviously weren't at their best. Albert was like a show pony out there today, tricks and flicks galore.

I urge everyone to watch the extended highlights and check out the clip over the wingers head whilst he was covering at left back in the first half. The most audacious thing I've seen a villa player do in quite a while.
