Aston Villa v Huddersfield

[AnkleBiter]

We couldn't do it again... could we?

3 days after a deserved win at St James Park, we have another away day we could only dream of during all those dull years in the bottom 2 divisions. Bit gutted this game is a Tuesday night straight after Newcastle but looks like that's not a popular opinion after all, with a sell out away crowd of 2,700 travelling.

Difficult to say how Villa have looked so far? Things were looking grim before a comfortable win over Rotherham, could mean lift off. Been very impressed with Villa's signings, great centre back pairing for this level and Gestede and McCormack will be very hard to keep quiet. Saying that, Newcastle only got past us through a soft penalty, and had no clear cut chances other than that.

Would've been happy with 1 point from these 2 away games, so this one's a bit of a bonus. Draw would be brilliant but expecting a respectable loss, more out of realism than anything else, because we've seen nothing to be negative about in these first 2 games.

Villa had decent spells in both of the two losses before the Rotherham game, just shocking defensive errors cost them each time. As you say, the combination of Elphick and Chester looks considerably better than what was there before, and there's goals in this Villa side now.

2-1 win to us I reckon, amazing what one win can do for confidence.

Game should of been over by half time but never mind. Still plenty of positives to take and once we start getting into our flow I think we will be a very dangerous team. Nearly 35k there tonight, great support and stay behind them lads.

Great point, brilliant start to the season.

Villa look like they'll be a force at Villa Park this season. Should've been over by half time but if you keep it to 1 when you're under the cosh and not at your best, then that's what can happen.

Wish I was there! Sounded like a great night again. Never known such unity in a team and a connection with the fans like this.

Crowd was great tonight, I knew we'd concede after consistently not taking our chances, we always do.

Crowd was great tonight, I knew we'd concede after consistently not taking our chances, we always do.

At least we only conceded one... Last two seasons we'd have conceded in the 87th minute and lost 3-1...

Well deserved point on that second half performance.

First half we should of gone in 2/3-0 down but second half we stepped it up with Scannell and Wells coming on.

Delighted with the point, if you'd told me we'd get 7 points from Brentford, Newcastle and Villa beforehand I'd of ordered whatever you were drinking!
