First Home Win Relief…
A little bit later than normal in the week, but finally a Five Reasons to be Cheerful after an actual Aston Villa win. For those who braved the cold, it was a fitting reward after weeks and weeks of suffering worse elements – namely, miserable performances and poor results.
David Bowie’s Heroes rang out around Villa Park and the players after 90 minutes became 90-minute heroes to lift spirits on what potentially could have been a very chilly and gloomy night. You just have to listen to me on the Sports bar on Talksport to gage the mood on the day!

One swallow doesn’t make a summer, but Villa were mainlining, so the win is certainly the jolt to help get the pulse going again. Wins against Leicester and West Brom in the upcoming games and then maybe, just maybe, we can start to believe again.
In the meantime, here’s five reasons to be cheerful as Aston Villa fans…
1. Lazarus
The three points against Palace and the fact the other relegation battlers in the league dropped points meant it isn’t over just yet. Obviously, it will need to be followed up sharpish with another three points, but at least the win has given the team the confidence to suggest they can win in this league.
Crystal Palace are one of the better away teams too, so that will also be a massive boost to home confidence with the visit of Leicester City.
Also, we’re still in the cup. If good things happen in the next few weeks – i.e. a string of league wins, knocking out Wycombe and Manchester City out of the FA Cup – we will remember what went down in Wycombe as a big turning point.
It wasn’t nice, it wasn’t clever, but sometimes you need the proverbial kick up the backside to get things going. UTV
