Our superb 2018 form has seen us match some long-standing records over the last few weeks, and victory this weekend against Fulham would mean the same again.

A seven-game winning run was equalled for first time since 1990 on Sunday, and we now have our sights set on an eighth successive league win.

We haven't won eight league games in a row "since the 1974/75 campaign".   * (Quote from the article above).

Superb second half, I reckon Smith said what any one of us would have wanted to say to them and it worked, different performance after the break and a man down. I don't remember the last time I saw us win a game in that kind of situation. 

Special mentions for nuclear McGinn and Kodjia, motivated Kodjia we love, sulky-pants Kodjia not so much, hopefully we see the former for the rest of the run in

What was our run under Bruce then, I thought it was 7 or 8, must have been 6?

7 in a row, literally last season but people hate Bruce so much nobody even remembers...

We lost 2-0 to Fulham in the 8th game

 

The official website claims that thee 7 before this was 1990 but i'm pretty sure we didn't win 7 in a row in either 89/90 or 90/91 although we did win 5 in a row twice

I'll always be grateful to Steve Bruce for that wonderful run of seven league wins in a row last season ! : ) That was a happy and exciting time to be a Villa fan, finally !

Under Bruce we won 7 games in a row between 30-12-2017 and 11-02-2018, although we lost a cup game during that run.

He also managed a run of 8 unbeaten (separate to the above as those 7 wins had a loss before and after)

Why did we get motivated Kodjia tonight instead of sulky Kodjia ? Surely if he is a team player and commited to the club we should get the same Kodjia every game ?

Rotherham United manager Paul Warne told BBC Sheffield:

"There's no shame to us losing to the in-form side in the league. We were excellent first half. We've gone toe to toe with them.

"Their manager gave them a rallying call and they came out flying after the break. We had a few near misses but we just didn't get to the heights we did in the first half.

"Them going down to 10 men didn't actually help us. And their lad was unlucky to go off for handball. That was a bit extreme for me."

The first half wasn't pretty, but 7 in a row, that's amazing.

McGinn man of the match, by a mile. He puts everything he has in to every game, he's the bargain of the century. With him running about, it was like we had the extra man.

I was also very impressed with Kodjia's work, and Elmo's assist blew my mind. Grealish was generally quiet, but what a move for his goal. Jedinak didn't put a foot wrong either, and I was shitting myself when he came on. 

Tammy was disappointing. Penalty aside, I can remember him touching the ball once in the second half, very poor.

We want 8!

Is McGinn the only one who can win the ball or make a challenge.....piss poor for me, in the first half, played better with 10 men.....despite a crucial win.

So just got home from work and watched the highlights Bloody amazing what a turn around. They certainly put us fans through the emotions 

I am taking medication at present for high blood pressure, Doctor thinks is because I have a stressful job

I think its because my blood is Claret and blue

McGinn was like a man possessed. I have not seen such a gutsy performance from a Villa player, it was phenomenal. The amount of times he burst into midfield and beat several players and moved the ball on was incredible. He contested everything, and won everything. Wow. 

The first half was like a bad dream, very frustrating. Alot of credit goes to the players today for digging in and finding a way to win. You could see how hard they were all trying.

What angered me, was some of our lot just watching him do it.....He needs help and his team mates need to get their finger out.
