Yeah, early as it is in the season, I think Villa were just after a draw to stop the rot, and will have always seen it as a good away point. They had little interest in anything going forward (bar a brief phase early in the 2nd half), and just...
I’d keep starting Keane and sub in Branthwaite late in matches, if necessary, until he’s up to full fitness. It may seem controversial, but I like the defence with Keane and Branthwaite. Branners has been fragile quite a bit and missing a lot of...
