We've had no luck against Villa for years. Absolutely owed them one.

 

[when i score we riot]

Garner is better than Xavi and Busquets put together. Should be going to the World Cup on this form

 

[ValBlue]

…..magnificent from players and Manager, full justified team selection, everybody fully focused. That commitment, that discipline, that organisation, they have to love playing for this manager. MOYES MASTERCLASS.

Unsung heroes, I’m a critic of Patterson but he did fine, Armstrong terrific, McNeil played his part, indeed everybody played their part. I’m going to highlight Merlin Rohl, my word that was some improvement and he looked a proper player but Garner was immense and their simply can’t be anybody else who reached those heights, especially playing on a yellow card.

I wasn’t going to have a rum but I’m having 3

Finally, the anti-Moyes brigade are back in their box until next time, whilst the rest know what a fine job he’s doing.

The anti-Moyes brigade are just hoping that he yet again doesn’t change a winning team next time around (as he has done multiple times this season to poor effect)

 

[Preki]

Travelling back with my kids today so couldn't really follow the game. Absolutely made up with that win.
Looking forward to MOTD.

He's doing a variable job, and today showed that he should be given 2 players in each position and left to organise them into a team, and not try and put square pegs in round holes just so he can pick his favourites. He got the win at Forest and then immediately shot himself in the foot by changing it for the next game, let's hope he doesn't repeat it when Keane comes back.

Love it

 

[Zeke]

A massive and I do mean a massive three points today as we just needed to steady the ship and that result has done that without a shadow of a doubt…chuffed to bits!

Now….let’s really make a push for Europe as we are in the conversation with a result like that!

 

[Zezti]

Very good away win. Barry's finish was lovely, and Garner had a fantastic game.

Gotcha

oh you!

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Happy times once more

 

[BluePeadar]

i thought Barry , Patterson and especially Rohl did well. Will serve them well , O’Brien aswell was decent

….i’ve always thought the phrase ‘playing his favourites’ is a total nonsense, regarding of who the manager is.

My lad was there in the corporate box of a Birmingham company. He's doubly enjoying their hospitality. Although a couple of stern looks aimed at him.

Impressed by Röhl, Patterson, Armstrong and O'Brien, but Garner best player on the pitch.
