Hi Guys,
Long time fan and long time NSC reader with a few thoughts about today's game.
First of all I was very impressed with the team's (Poyet's) approach to the game, throughout we attempted to get the ball on the floor and pass it, and were by no means disgraced against a very decent Villa side, whose pace across the whole team was a constant worry.
It is great to see that the team are gradually coming around to Poyet's way of playing, and I would certainly rather see us go down passing and moving than hoofing and lumping Villa off the park.
Personally I thought our stand out players were Virgo, Calderon and Navarro.
I thought Virgs' looked bang-up for it and his tackling was superb, Navarro's passing and composure from the first minute was great, particually when others seemed a little shocked by the rapid pace of Villa across the pitch.
Calderon would be my Albion MOM, he was immense. What a hero, he was solid, got forward well, tackled well; and although I was gutted to see Whingy not in the squad (is his team FFS, cut him slack Gus), his performance well and truly justified his inclusion.
Was a little dissapointed by Bennett, who was OK but I felt lacked a bit of confidence and seemed a little overawed by the occasion, however he did link up with Murray well on a couple of occasions.
Well done Albion, lets finish the season playing in this fashion and build a top-six capable side for next season!
