Well that was much better Welbeck Webster Dunk put in fine performances as did Adingra but the game changer was the introduction of Ensico

most teams have settled for the, wait until Brighton f*** up tactic.

it's the most sensible tactic, tbf.

Emery was hoping we would give up enough decent chances for his superior squad and preferential refereeing would seal the deal.


for once it didn't work out that way.

Emery is some manager, quite how he has got that team top 4 is a mystery. How many of their players get into any other top 6 team? Very much a case of the team is more important than any individual

A little less of the "twat" and "bell-end" would be appreciated, though.
Other than that, it's all good.

Adingra would have got my MOTM if all his shots hadn’t looked like back passes. Wee Billy MOTM for me, spraying the ball,around and getting stuck in. Lost a couple due to the Villa player being much bigger and tougher. Quality feet

Everyone around us thought Veltman. Finally match fit (unlike a few others) & superbly focussed & ruthless (unlike a few others)

Enciso is such a prime piece of quality. Spinning players, direct, shooting on site. Players like that, Mitoma, March etc, quality chess pieces, change our level immediately. I know it's obvious but sometimes you can simplify it. Much better players change games massively.

Shout out to Barco too who looks really wily and good on the ball even if he looks about 13

But Barco looks a total shitehouser too….and he’s ours, gonna give Veltman a run for his money

Enciso is going to be a superstar, probably not at the Albion though

Well I enjoyed that and pleased I went: scored a goal, clean sheet, 3pts and showed some real fight. Oh, and Villa are no mugs and a bit of a bogey side.

Fabulous win boys, well done!

Player a back four who can all defend made a difference

Well that was unexpected fun, we looked like a proper football team again.

Kudos to @jackalbion who called it at half time.

Can't he change his name to @jackknifealbion ?

And yes, we played so much better than we had for quite some time.

Luck has quite a lot to do with it imo, they have been pretty jammy in so many games this season

Does that count as a goal from open play?

My choice too. Expert RB play throughout.
