As I have thought about our trip to Elland Road, which seems a lifetime ago, we had some interesting things to ponder after. A rough first half, a better second, subs that changed the game, a point salvaged, and a final stretch that looked more likely to see Villa grab a winner.
We thought Ipswich might be a good barometer of Villa’s actual strengths, and in the end they posed no real danger. Will Leeds? We’re about to find out.
This is getting boring. Three matches, three wins, nine points. Eight wins in 11 now, as Villa handled Ipswich Town with relative ease to close out a very good week with a 2-0 win courtesy of an Albert Adomah brace. Please feel free to be positive. Or take a nap.
I’ll never get tired of saying it…another win, another three points. Villa have now gone 3-1-1 in their last five to climb into fourth. It certainly wasn’t the prettiest of matches, but just because a former PL side is sitting bottom doesn’t mean you’re going to have a walk in the park.
A good fightback from Villa on the road is followed by a visit from bottom-dwelling Sunderland. Surely this is a moment where Villa need to dig deep for another three points if we’re to believe in ourselves.
