A Win at Last!
By: irish_steve | April 7th, 2008After the United game last week I didn’t believe that Villa could sink any lower and thankfully I was correct. Everything that went wrong in the in games during the month of March seemed to turn around and come good in this game. Both team’s came into the game with little confidence but it was Villa who showed finally showed a finishing touch. Ashley Young showed his class and skill on the wing which set up the first goal for Barry who netted a second later in the game. Petrov also had a masterful game in midfield and Martin O’Neill was quick to praise the Bulgarian who hasn’t lived up to the high expectations Villa fan’s had for him at the beginning of the season.
I was delighted to see Gabby get his first goal in 2008. If anyone on the team deserved to score against Bolton, it was him. He has been fantastic all season but people are quick to overlook that and talk about his lack of goals. Villa are now 8 points back of 5th place. If Portsmouth wins the FA Cup and we finish 6th in the league then we will qualify for the UEFA Cup for next season which would be massive. Villa have last place Derby at the weekend and I would like to see a few changes in the team selection with players like Salifou, Osbourne and Routledge getting some playing time. With the derby game against Birmingham in a few weeks time it would make sense to rest a few of our first team players in a match against the league’s weakest team.
