Was fed up of Man U on Sky, and Andy Burnham on the news, so I watched the game again.
That I think was the best game Iv seen Cash have, all over Doku like a rash, he set the tone of the whole side, with his aggression. It like a light bulb has gone off and Allyson has become a man on a mission, he is playing with pace and once again aggression. Jackson I think will have surprised a lot of people, with just how well he's settled in, and he also has pace, aggression and can certainly score goals. A lot of teams I reckon, will be scratching their heads, and trying to work out how they didn't know about Suzuki, what a signing he's turning out to be.
For that game, you could go through the whole team one by one, and shout how well they played. This shows just how good Emery is at team building, the way it's going, he's building a young, hungry side filled with pace and an abundance of ability. This is one in the eye for all these high paid know nothing pundits, who've been shouting with excitement, that's it Villa are done, all their best players have left them, obviously not knowing Emery, would replace them with better ones HaHa. Exciting times ahead for us, as long as the injuries bogey keeps away. UTV KEEP THE FAITH.

Well said mate. I do think we have to not get ahead of ourselves and expect too much too soon, but it's an exciting time to be Villa fan and although we may have a 'transitional' interim with some inconsistent moments (to be expected with a young new team) I think our overall potential ceiling has increased since last year and set some really encouraging foundations for the future.
I know I sound like a very old broken record, but it's about not getting too carried away when we're on form and not hitting the panic button when we're struggling for form. Just enjoy the ride.

DBS, I'm 82 now so I need a bit of excitement now and again HaHa. As you say not to get carried away, but you can't help it with Emery, he just keeps pulling more rabbits out the bag. As I said these pundits drive you mad, they can't wait for Villa to trip up. A lot of it I think is disbelief that Villa are fighting against the norm and doing so well.
As you can imagine the Villa have been the bane of my Mrs life over the years, but with my two lads and the Grandsons, she's not got a lot of choice HaHa. Most of my hope is for my Sons and Grandsons, to carry on the Villa cause UTV.

Completely understandable and I'm not necessarily suggesting we don't get excited.why bother following football if we don't eh? It's more just trying to manage expectations a bit.we've all seen it (and read it on here at times) before.Villa start doing well, build up expectations and then as soon as we hit a bit of bad form or results drop off the same old comments come out, the manager, owner, tactics etc get questioned.all because we dared to raise expectations in the first place.
Here's hoping for another good season!
