Ipswich Town 0-4 Aston Villa: The Good, Bad & Ugly
Once again, Villa found themselves playing against 10, and this time it was Ipswich who were dispatched with ease as Villa cruised to a 4-0 victory. The scoreline actually flattered the home side.
Playoffs Here We Come: Villa Midweek View

Norwich City 3-1 Aston Villa: The Good, Bad & Ugly
Not a good day at Carrow Road—Villa had a chance to take advantage of Cardiff’s loss to Wolves and make a run at an automatic promotion spot Saturday.

I’ll take the result, but I’m not quite sure how much Villa deserved the point.
