jimmy's Aston villa team report 28th October
Blackburn 0-1 Aston villa
john carew [42]
a very hard fought game as you can see by the result there was not much in it, other than a great goal from carew, this was my first game in charge of Aston villa and i was satisfied with the performance especially the clean sheet,so overall a good start.

third consecutive away game something had to give and it did i got beat 3-1,to tell you truth the final score does not tell the whole truth the boys played well we dominated parts of the game, the only thing that let us down was our finishing,dont get me wrong west ham played well and most probably deserved the win.

Luke Moore [41] Frank Lampard [20]
Stiliyan Petrov [45] Petri pasanen [58]
John Carew [69] Didier Drogba [90]
what a game, yes 6-4 thats how it finished an absolute cracker of a game,we started terribly letting in 3 goals in the first 20 mins,then my players woke up and they started to fight back and what a fight back it was unbelievably we went into half time 3-3,the second half did not start as i hoped we let in a sloppy goal and then a own goal petri pasanen [58] which was a blow because we were looking good before the own goal,we pulled one back in the 69 th min but unfortunately let one in the 90th,never the less a great game of football.

a good game there was nothing to separate the two teams other than a pen given in the 94th min ,luke moore kept his cool and finished beutifully,a much needed win after two defeats in a row good result.
