A week on Tuesday, we go to Millwall and they go to Sheffield Utd.

Not inconceivable that we'll be 6 point +GD clear of them on Wednesday morning, with 17 games to play.

Of course we could be all level at that point, instead, but the point is don't worry about anyone else. Everything now is about beating Millwall. Then the next one.

Except for the fact that when Millwall played at PP we were really lucky to beat them in my view. For large parts of the game they outplayed us. I think we will do well to get a draw......

Agreed it’s a big weekend though. Villa need to lose no matter what we do.

A lucky 3-0? OK - if you reckon.

My point isn't that I think we're going to beat Millwall. My point is that's our focus. No need whatsoever to worry about Aston Villa.

We try to win our games, and whatever happens, happens.

Go review the full game . Millwall played well for large parts of the game and could quite easily have scored a couple of goals.

Faith is great and to be applauded.....the blind variety not so much.

Sorry, but no, we weren't. I think they had one sighter before we scored three in quick succession, after that we were comfortable enough and to an extent took our foot off the gas.

Milwall were alright enough, not a nothing team, just an average one. 

As someone who lives away and only gets to few games I remember the ones i do get to.

I'm not convinced you're actually reading what I posted pal!

You're entitled to your opinion about the Millwall game....but I don't get where the blind faith aspect comes in?

Ok, different opinions is fine.

Let’s see how the games goes at the Den.....I would take a point now. 

To be fair, you don’t win 3-0 by luck. You can get lucky throughout a game, get a spawny 1-0 snatch and grab. But eventually quality shines through, and 3-0 is decisive. 

Fine marhins make all the difference. That extra 1 or 2 percent skill or experience our players have now all adds up over 90 mins and does the job. It might not look or seem like we play teams off the park, but you don’t win by 3+ goals so often and call it luck, you’re doing something very specifically better than your opponents, and you’re doing it consistently.

We defeat teams that outplay us for sections of the game. teams could have scored against us but as usual, they did not.

Bristol City have signed French striker Lois Diony on loan from Saint-Etienne until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.

The former Dijon striker joined Ligue 1 club Saint-Etienne last July for a reported £7m.

I can imagine this deal wasn’t exactly a cheap one for City if he was only signed last summer for £7m.

In other news, Villa have taken Man United’s Axel Tanzuebe on loan. England U21 international.
