We were excellent, should have won by more, said in the match thread the fans got agitated and nervous but to be the defence didn't look shakey 

Deserved 

And **** VAR

Totally agree with this. Shafted by VAR again but still got the points. Solid performance.

[Jimzk5]

A much needed win marred by what look serious injuries for wes and Heston, all the more typical after wes' best showing so far

[holteend1982]

Massive win that. I pretty much say it every week but grealish is just so good. 

[Phil Silvers]

Praise to the baby Christmas Jesus for this win

[Kiwivillan]

3:27am here meant to sleep and see result in morning. Followed match thread in bed. Had to go for smoke on balcony for extra time. Last time I did that was play off final. Delighted

[supermon]

Well done boys, take back my pre match comments, glad to eat humble pie, proud of the lads. Hope Heaton n Wesley will be ok 

[Guest av1]

Brilliant

[MaVilla]

How did the new fornation look/work out?

[rbcuk]

Superb win, now keep 5 at the back, looked so much better with that, definitely need a new forward if Wesley is out for long, Kodjia proves he ain’t good enough 

[ozvillain]

9 minutes!!!!!! Did it, get in. Biggest downside . Wes finally has a game where he looks the part and gets injured - you couldn’t make it up. 

[LxYoungAVFC]

Good tactics before the match.

Game management shit.

Well played Wesley. Hope it's nothing too bad.

Hope Heaton isn't badly injured.

Kodjia still awful.

Jack is the best player I've ever seen in a Villa shirt.

[jacketspuds]

Great result. Still making me shit my pants in fear when we try to defend a lead, but we're up to 16th and have to capitalise on the open transfer window by bringing in a striker, winger (1 at least) and a more experienced quality CM to help us control games from the middle of the park.

[Herman22]

Such a huge 3 points away to Burnley which is a tough place to go. 

DS got the team spot on. Having Mings back is huge. 

Hope Wes and Heaton aren't too badly injured. 

Let's not talk about VAR. Beyond a joke now. 

[StefanAVFC]

My 'Very Poor' for refereeing was for VAR.

The offside, their goal, tackle on Wesley.

Utter shite.

Bloody rock!

Never doubted it!

Hope injuries to Mings and Heaton are not bad.

Get in UTV

Mings?

[Davkaus]

Brilliant first half, but I think I aged years in that second half. Proper brown alert stuff.

[Mantis]

[TheMightyVillans]

A win and two potential season ending injuries. I guess you take the good with the bad.

Saw purslow on the pitch. Hopefully he told smith a striker is incoming after seeing kodjia's cameo.

Went through some fingernails there in the last 20 mins.

Bittersweet victory though, have to pray Wes and Heaton are not too severe, of course it happens when Wes finally turns up and puts a great shift in.
