EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 04/02/2017 : Nottingham Forest 2-1 Aston Villa That was a result the performance did not deserve. AVFC remain 14th, now 13 points off the play-offs and 8 points off the drop zone. I am not pessimistic, despite the adverse outcome, as it was a far better display in a match that was there to be won, but thrown away. Attendance : 19,866 (SSN)

EFL1 (Championship), Tuesday 14/02/2017 : Aston Villa 1-3 Barnsley Per the SSN Live Commentary the goal attempts were 23 - 6 in favour of AVFC. I commiserate with those who attended tonight. Those who did not go were spared, as the stream did not work. Attendance : 26,435 (SSN)

EFL1 (Championship), Monday 20/02/2017 : Newcastle United 2-0 Aston Villa My afternoon visit to the pub spared me this. I sat down to watch the stream and fell asleep. Attendance : 50,024 (SSN)

EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 25/02/2017 : Aston Villa v Derby County Surprised to find this and it may not work, but have the link anyway. Stream link, KO 15:00 hours : Feed2All - Aston Villa v Derby County
EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 25/02/2017 : Aston Villa 1-0 Derby County At last, a win, ending AVFC's second 10 game winless run this Season. I was concerned by how much time and space AVFC afforded Derby, especially in the 2nd half ... 'Grandad' Will Hughes had the freedom of Villa Park to keep initiating Derby's attacks. We need to close down players, which was done in the first half, otherwise the team just invites trouble. Attendance : 30,395 (SSN)
EFL1 (Championship), Tuesday 28/02/2017 : Aston Villa v Bristol City, KO 19:45 hours. There are streams up for games throughout today, but none for our game.

EFL1 (Championship), Tuesday 28/02/2017 : Aston Villa 2-0 Bristol City Good to get back-to-back wins, this was for the third time this Season and the first with two clean sheets.

EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 04/03/2017 : Rotherham United v Aston Villa, KO 15:00 hours. The Millers have been described as this Division's 'whipping boys', but we need to remember that if AVFC had not beaten Rotherham last August, AVFC would have been bottom of this Division ... and maybe still be there. Prediction, made on 28/02/2017 : Rotherham United 1-2 Aston Villa
EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 04/03/2017 : Rotherham United 0-2 Aston Villa Three consecutive wins for the first time since Season 2009-2010, with three clean sheets too.

EFL1 (Championship), Tuesday 07/03/2017 : Huddersfield Town 1-0 Aston Villa I said against Derby that AVFC needs to close players down, otherwise it could cost us. The failure to closedown cost us tonight, it was almost a case of 'Pick your spot, Mr Smith, while we stand here and watch'. Attendance : 20,584 (SSN)
EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 11/03/2017 : Aston Villa v Sheffield Wednesday, KO 15:00 hours. 10/03/2017 : This is one of those Level 2 games that should be a Level 1 game, which is where both clubs naturally belong.

EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 11/03/2017 : Aston Villa 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday The goal attempts were 8-13 per the SSN live commentary, but it is the goals scored that count.
