Having recently gone through a spate of not scoring (seven-plus hours' worth) we now seem to have to wait till late on before we see the Villa scoring at all. Shaun Long seemed to make the wait even longer! We at least found some great relief in this one as Albion could have been streets ahead before Villa made the subs and then found the net. We're still very much a work-in-progress but at least a bit more resilience is now on offer.
I am bemused by Lambert. We've seen how Bacuna shows up more when he's further forward, yet he's slotted back at r-b in this match and virtually gifted their second goal. But it's the midfield that mainly needs attention i.m.o., and I'm thinking that this formation might be more successful:
We need to acquire more points before Man U arrive in mid-December, but the matches against Sunderland, Swansea and Southampton are by no means walk-overs. If we gain five points out of those matches we'll be doing very well.
