Oh, Oh - 1p5wich 0-2 after 16 minutes.

 

Ipswich really poor.
Looks like about a 10K crowd

 

Is it a shame the thrashing didn't materialise? A thrashing would of been hill hairy arse but probably got him sacked!

Bah!

 

Steve Bruce must be on VERY 'thin ice' - Villa let a 2 goal lead slip, Chester looks like he got a straight red and if so misses the trip to CR and the game finished 3-3 with Villa getting an equaliser in the 93rd minute.

 

I

think I saw that they then missed a penalty in the 97th minute

 

Yes, I saw something about that!!!

Edit - A compelling case for JM to play with the 'Big Boys' next weekend - https://soccersouls.com/2018/10/03/...dy-to-make-a-mark-on-the-international-stage/

 

It was a fairly good night for us last night. Boro and Leeds won, but Villa, Brentford, Wigan and Swansea all drew. Chester did get a straight red card, but it was for a last man foul rather than violent conduct, so I'm not sure he'll miss the game at CR. Anybody know about that?

 

IMO, ANY points we get out from our next 2 games should be considered a bonus and even if we should lose both, we've shown over these last few weeks how easy it is to climb back up the table IF you can string a few wins together. It would to get a convincing win occasionally, but as long as we're playing well and getting 3 points, I'm happy.

 

I'd be happy with a draw tonight, but a win would be brilliant as it would give us some breathing space and keep us in the race for automatic promotion. The return of Hernandez will make us a more potent attacking force in future games so it'd be great to keep our unbeaten run going.

 

A red card is an automatic one or three game suspension, depending on the offense. So, unless they appeal it, he is banned for at least one game.

 

Thanks GE, but their next game won't be us.

 

Ice shattered - Bruce been given the "Sugar Finger"

Canaries boss Daniel Farke has been included on the shortlist for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month Award after leading his team to four wins and a draw in the league last month, as well as a cup victory.
Finnish striker Teemu Pukki has also been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award after scoring goals in three successive league games, two of which were winners. #weredoomed

 

So WBA have opted for a green and yellow 'away kit' #copycat

 

Probably chosen by Wessie

 

Well at last:

yep well done Madders. Fully deserved.

 

Good spot GE and it's just a one game ban.

 

Daniel Farke has avoided the manager-of-the-month curse after missing out to Championship rival Darren Moore at West Brom.
That dubious honour went to Darren Moore of WBA. #weresaved

 

Seems as though David Moyes is in line to be the new manager at Villa!!!
