Eck's End of Trial Period

OK - unbeaten after 7 league games and a GD of four. With Gabby putting up impressive shows (and I thought he'd lost his knack) with the ever useful Bent at hand, things are not looking quite so bad as I thought they might be.

However, against the opposition we've had, I would be greedy and have expected at least another 2 points on the board. There are, however, still question marks with the midfield and Jenas is yet to make his mark. Is his injury worse than we thought, I wonder, or is he to be used as a secret weapon for the next match at Man City?!

This upcoming match will be a real tester, no doubt, and one occasion that if a draw were obtained I would not be one of those saying "what, another draw?!"

This upcoming match could also be a turning point. A good result (defeat or no defeat) might just encourage the numbers to return to Villa Park in the following match. Even though they're undefeated, the quality of the play has not inspired the faithful too much and it must be worrying to the owner to see the gates falling.

It remains to see how our lot get through to the New Year.

Just how great was Mac?
