Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Derby

[sidcow]

I was shocked by the disrespect the club showed for our opponents today. 

I looked up at the scoreboard and it clearly read Aston Villa 4, Derby 0, completely missing out the "Frank Lampards" bit of their name.

Shameful really, if we were playing Manchester United, would they leave  "Manchester" bit off their name? I think not. 

Poor show from the club I thought.

The taste of humble pie tonight for me and its quite delicious! 

I love it when I am wrong for the right reasons

Think even though Whelan did well today you obviously find a place for McGinn next weekend and I'd try him in the that sitting role. Great range of passing, manic work rate. He sat quite deep at hibs at times. No stranger to it.

Great result, more of the same please.

Makes the last few months even more baffling as the players are clearly good enough.

well consistency is a major part of " good enough"

What a comeback Jack. 

MotM all day long, that goal was different class.

This may be a but controversial but Whelan is my MOTM.  I think he's been one of our better players since the Sheff Utd comeback!  2 glorious goals today and he played a significant part in both of them (especially the team goal) with great play from Whelan, Elmo and Tammy!

Just watched highlights. Could've been 8-0 That's 6 wins 2 draws 2 losses with Grealish under Smith

I asked you in the DS thread where you got the info with regards to a 'disruptive' dressing room? I didn't see any evidence of that today.  I saw a performance from each and everyone of the team that suggests otherwise!

So it was McGinn who was making us crap, I knew it!

hmmmmmm....On that showing, would have to agree....it takes time to get consistency though.

Aston Grealish. 

We are a nothing team without him.

Really close call here as well. Did everything well in a 'proper' No.6 role.  Still Jack though, just.

It might be my eyes playing tricks on me, but does one of our blokes (can't see who) get his nut on the shot in the 6 yard box ?

No ....he was just looking to see the make of the ball.

Lesson learnt .... if you're an ageing team without the energy to run for 90 minutes .... get the job done by half time!

Who took the armband when jack went off?

Amazing performance and we could've scored many more. It was Elphick who tried to get the flick on which would have ruined a perfect goal, and Whelan was handed the armband when Grealish went off. I imagine it would have been given to Elphick had he not gone off injured so Whelan was next in line.
