Well, everyone sank to possibly their lowest ebb after the 9 games without a win, but the fans have proved they were just waiting to be cheered up a bit more.
The return of CB and a lovely goal from him followed by two nice goals on Sunday from defenders have caused the re-appearance of some cheerfulness!
The fact remains, though, that Villa’s defence seems to have fallen into place entirely by accident, and further injuries to the decimated midfield may well see Grealish make a start on Saturday, thereby fulfilling the wishes of quite a few. Who knows, when January arrives we may be seeing a quality team!
Despite some fans great attempt at putting a positve spin on it, we did beat a very much below par Liverpool early in the season, and Southampton did not put in their accustomed standard when they came to VP and have since proved to have gone off the boil somewhat.
Amazingly though, leaving the Man U match aside (which even I think might yield a point) it looks as though we have five other fixtures between now and mid-January that are utterly win-able. Then we have Liverpool (home, again win-able), Arsenal away and Chelsea (home).
Who knows, come mid-January and we might have gone 11 matches undefeated and be around 5th in the table and bringing about the return of the fans to VP! That would be a cue for giving Lambert a life-long contract perhaps?
Christmas is upon us and every good Villan needs to find a stocking filler as a warmer for his
Villa chums. These days, we Villans need something to remind us of warmer days!
