Jim great article as ever and thanks for confirmation that Scott was onside! High up in the stands that was my first thought too when the ball was played through.
Just before we scored, I’d turned to my mate to say we can win this, let alone get the equaliser, and we were not far off. I agree with you that the performance was there for all to see, even if we hadn’t got something for our relentless pressurising in the second half.
I’ve not always been a fan of Deano’s substitutions but Kaikai, Vibe and McEachran all contributed to the increased belief that we could get something out of the game.
You Redzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Very good piece! Villa Park is a truly iconic & beautiful stadium and many of the punters up there as friendly as you’ll find. But the indifference and ignorance towards our club shown by some of them, and many in the media, is disappointing. 125+ years of our own history, the team from the county town of Middlesex having a 40K record attendance (twice it’s population at the time). The legend that was Harry Curtis taking us to the top of the pile, our progress cruelly cut short by WW2. Yet we seem to be looked upon recently as no more than a plucky former non league side on an up-cycle, or worse still a Franchise FC lookalike.
Villa are a huge club in England and beyond, I’ve no issue with that, but we are not a small insignificant club and never have been. Under MB’s direction we are finally rediscovering our pre war place in football’s upper divisions.
It is also noticeable how much our profile in the media has changed and fallen since MW left us. Fair play to Ian Holloway for correcting his recent projections of doom. Other than rehashing the usual stereotypical MB/MW stuff from Feb 2015, we barely get a mention these days – nothing positive at all.
Maybe it’s better this way, work under the radar & keep surprising people.
Our support last night was magnificent, as good as I’ve seen it and unbridled pride and passion for our club, team and our area.
A brilliant night in Birmingham.
