    A clean sheet would have been nice but we did the important bit.

    Interesting that the win came after Monk reverted to a team that looked very familiar towards the end of 2016.

    I dont know where youre getting Villa from. They are in real danger of relegation and are rubbish. Doubt if Bruce will see season out

    A few posters have questions our fitness and energy levels after last nights win.

    Other than O'Kane who is just back from injury and Hernandez who is still getting back up to full speed I couldn't see any noticeable difference. Both were subbed and their replacements came on with bags of energy so no excuses there.

    What I did notice in the last two games is that our new wide players Pedraza and Barrow both need tactical work on our shape and system of play. Whilst they look dangerous in possession, defensively they are a little more detached from their full backs leaving them more exposed. I think Monk will find it difficult to start either of them whilst this is happening.

    My dark horse all season have been Fulham. Personally I think when we go down there we will get beat which if we do will mean a massive scrap between us, Fulham, Norwich and Sheff Wed. Reading have a really tough run of fixture coming up as well so it's all to play for.

    I think Taylor might struggle to get his place back, because Beradi is playing well.<ok>

    Think you missed out Sacko. He was completely out on his feet 10-15 mins from the end. Not surprising as he isn't quite match fit, and did a lot of work. But you can't sub everyone that's tired, I guess. There must have been a better reason for subbing the others. It did leave us without that left wing outlet, though, which contributed to us getting battered at the end.

    I too fancied Fulham for the playoffs, but I'm distancing myself from that suggestion just a little now. For me it was all about banging in loads of goals & being on a run after a slow start. Think they've lost a bit of momentum now, but you never know! :D

    Agree about the new boys. Still cannot understand why Ped started on Saturday.

    Berardi adds a lot of steel as LB. He quite simply scares the living daylights out of people. He seems to get criticised for not getting as forward as Taylor, but I think most people are thinking of Taylor last season, rather than this. He has been no better than adequate this season, with the odd flash. He has shirked a lot of tackles too. Berardi has made the spot his own, and I only see Taylor getting the spot back if Berardi is injured or suspended. I'm also a little biased. Taylor is dead to me.

    It's OK though 'cos we're gonna stuff Brighton on March 18th. Speaking of which, if I was to manoeuvre a jaunt across would one of you kind gents be able to sort me a ticket come the time? I'd rather cheer with one of our own than by myself.

    Only caveat is, I might barf on your feet - thinking of meeting up with the young lad day before for Paddy's Day. Only joking. :bandit:

    Not quite. He's been dropped from the squad, far less the team a few times recently, and even when he plays, he rarely gets the full 90 mins. So you can't expect him to be at his peak of fitness or stamina. And it showed, But let me be clear - he worked hard. He wasn't hiding.

    Elland & Eire I am the shrewdest bloke on here and will make you eat your words. Im betting Steve Bruce will have Villa somewhere near top 6 by April. If Im wrong no worries I'll just be like Leeds 60

    That's what I like about sacko. He's infuriating in possession, but he really puts in a shift, works hard off the ball and is always showing for the ball and making runs. He keeps defenders stretched and edgy in a way that not all wingers do. Roofe is a better ball player but doesn't offer that if playing wide, Dallas gives stability but doesn't stretch teams... barrow I haven't seen enough of.
