Much better from Villa - the usual one or two were still below par I felt but they were much better at taking the game to a team. Bolton were awful.

I thought Nigel Reo-Coker was very, very good.

And fair play to Ashley Young too - not on top of his form still but had a hand in some goals and got one himself.

Weird atmosphere though. Was suprised to see VP full too.

So i guess 2nd half we were good too right? I saw the first half and I was just smiling all the time as I felt it was going really well, great performance.

My mate got kicked out of the ground just on half time for standing up, I didnt want to leave him waiting outside on his own for the coach so went out and thought I would see it on TV in a pub but noooo.

Was a great day out and fantastic to see a hammering being dished out from our boys.

does anyone know where I can watch some decent highlights of the match? MOTD2 will only show the goals (probably not all of them). Couldn't watch it on match choice yesterday as I was out. :(

so gutted that I won't be able to watch this awesome display

Does anyone know what all the booing was about after Bolton scored?

The linesman deeming running in a straight line, a foul. They scored from the resulting fk

Great match, most important thing was that it was a team perofrmance, everyone played their part, they all gelled together and it payed off.

Friedel - 6 - very quiet game for him.

Warnock - 8 - The Chinese winger was tricky and determined but Warnock dominated him. Going forward he is determined and can pick a pass. After so long with full backs who can either defend or attack, we now have two that can do both!

L Young - 8 As above, wasn't expecting him to be so lively and fresh after the time he has missed. Hopefully our RB for the rest of the season.

Dunne - 7 - Enjoyed the battle. Despite the ref seeming totally blind to some of the pushing and blocking of Bolton, he coped easily.

Cueller - 8 - Worried when I saw the teamsheet with the physicallity of Bolton. However, he coped and thrived, really enjoyed himself and his passing was perfect, not one misplaced ball! Deserves credit for the job he did at RB but hopefully we'll only see him at CB in the future.

A Young - 8 - Getting back to his best. A lot more confidence, trying things and effective. Still plenty more to come but the signs are good.

Milner - 8 - Hard working, skillful and effective. Wouldn't expect anything else from him, but please leave the penalties to somebody else!

NRC - 8 Very disciplined. Sat in the holding position and made sure there was no way through. Passing was good today, kept it simple but quick paced instead of dwelling on the ball.

Sidwell - 8 Thought he was fantastic in the first half, second half less noticable but still doing an effective job. Was getting beyond the strikers today, his passing was better than usual and the amount of tackles and interceptions he makes iss crucial. Also covers others so well, when a CB or NRC went forward he just drops into their position.

Carew - 9 - There was no way he was going to let a couple of old team mates stop him. He played a simple game, getting into good spots and just looking for simple flicks. Linked everything together and his best game for a long long time

Gabb7 - 8.5 - Really looking the part. Best thing today was his positioning, he just kept droping behind Carew in an off side position and just stepped back as Carew flicked it on. They linked up perfectly and then he brought others into the game. Took his chance calmly with his left foot.

MON - 8 Watching the vidoe of West Ham til the early hour payed off! Our pla today was so much more disciplined, our direct balls were aimed to suitable positions instead of just lumping it, we had a clear game plan and stuck to it. Subs were late but the players were enjoying themselves and their confidence was growing. Taking a couple of early to rest wouldn't have done them much good with an international break coming up.

Just hope to see the same line up in the next game!!

Same. Especially with how dead it semed outside the ground. Walking to the ground from the NS end we hardly saw anyone, we were saying we'd be lucky to hit 30k based on that. What was it in the end? About 38k?

That happened to me and my mates against Pompey. We got kicked out by about 30 stewards and coppers for the crime of standing up on a back row in the lower Witton Lane, rebels eh!? No wonder the atmosphere is shit.

L Young - 7

Warnock - 6

Cuellar - 6.5

Cuellar 6.5? That's even more bizzare than giving NRC man of the match.

I suppose we all see things differently.. Yes Cuellar scored, but his distribution was poor and it looked as if it was a mistake by him that led to their goal..so yes a 6.5

Friedel 6- Didn't have a lot to do really.

L.Young 7- Slotted back in nicely and looked the best I've seen him going forward. Pleased he is back.

Cuellar 7.5- I thought he didn't put a foot wrong again and pleased to see him grab a goal.

Dunne 7- See Cuellar minus goal.

Warnock 7- One or two stray passes going forward but other than that another solid performance. Like the look of him on the ball.

A.Young 7.5- Couple of bad crosses but looked back to his old self in parts. Needs to get the ball in quicker at times.

Sidwell 7- Quality first twenty minutes then faded a little. Worked hard throughout, should have scored but nevermind.

NRC 7- Should be playing in every game as captain IMO (not that I don't rate Petrov). Doesn't have to be heavily involved in attacks but his tackles breaking up play were unsung IMO.

Milner 7.5- Another workhorse performance from him, not fully fit but my he gives it his all. Quality on the ball but needs to work on his crossing as does Young. Maybe I'm expecting a little too much from those two these days.

Agbonlahor 8- Turning into the complete forward. Comfortable on the ball, strong, decent in the air, took his goal well as well.

Carew 10- Complete centre forward display, that's all that needs to be said.

Delfouneso did well when he came on which is encouraging, the other two didn't really have time apart from Gardner to get booked.
