Ruggeri, Bellis fitted in great, in fact all the new lads looked the part. Hemmings and Allyson playing really well, we now have some great youngsters. Biggest surprise of the night was Barkley, lasting a full 90, he's frightening when facing his own goal. Lost count of the amount of balls Barkley and Bogart gave away, then Buendia came on and he started. Get Spurs out the way and Emery will have some time to work with them.

Was impressed with Harwood Bellis, didn't miss a thing all night, give him time and we have Konsa's replacement. The Garnacho mystery seems to deepen, tonight you'd have thought,was an ideal opportunity, obviously Emery has his reasons. You can see, when we get a full side eventually playing,, the makings are there for some vast improvement, to what we've seen so far. UTV.

Pretty much summed it all up there Dave. I know we will have a lot tougher games to play but Mbaye looks the part and looks like he should be in our best 11 at the moment. Bogarde going backwards since Christmas. anyone know why Bizot went off? Injured or is he just rubbish? At least we are back creating chances and getting shots on target, Tuesday, Saturday and today were a huge improvement on the first few games.
bellis had a good debut, can't see him get in ahead of victor just yet but he will be good for the future.
Don't know what's happening with Garnacho but I don't see a future for him at villa either a manager like Emery, I know it's a waste of wages but I really hope he gets no game time and we don't have to sign him, I really don't want him at our club I hope he's gone in January, I think we are well stocked for wide players with alysson, Mbaye, MaGinn, Buendia, Hemmings, and Manzambi can also play wide if needed, I just don't see what Garnacho brings, he was a flash in the pan, lots of players have had similar careers.


HEY another positive from tonight, we can't get united in the next round ? Brighton looking very good this season.

Nice to see Tammy get two,great ball from Harwood Bellis and great pass from Hemmings. Bogard knows he's not playing well enough, the kid looks terrified, every time he gets the ball, feel sorry for him, because he has served us well at times. Whack I'm excited by these kids, I think given the chance, things could get up and running UTV.
