Matias on the bench!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much better for sure. Bannan needs a rest though and I think Abdi might start on Tuesday. I'd be tempted to rest Forestieri as well if Rhodes and Winnal are playing again, didn't track back nearly enough.

I know ticket prices are a bit steep these days, but I'm surprised nobody thought of sticking a giant periscope on top of their car a bit earlier. Just have to figure out which way to point it now.

Villa to Champions League in under 5 years is a joke. Who does he think they are.........Leicester?

Sounds like just another crazy religious cult to me. Lure people in with a dose of free optimism and then.....wham! How do we know you're not going to hammer us all with suicidal pessimism when we lose the next game?

Spoke too soon

81: Much better from Wednesday, tidy footwork from Bannan sees him find Fletcher and his first time pass releases Hooper, but Green reacts instinctively.

Attempt saved. Gary Hooper (Sheffield Wednesday) right footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the bottom right corner. Assisted by Steven Fletcher.

66: CHANCE: Storming run down the right from Fletcher, who beats his man and his cut-back falls to strike partner Hooper, but he can only fire straight at Green, who saves with his feet.

Hooper on for Abdi according to ESPN

First half stats from ESPN - Wednesday 59% possession. Attempts on goal 9 - 7, on target 2-0, corners 2 - 2

Sky Bet text commentary would not agree: 45: HALF TIME: Don't be fooled by the scoreline, this has been an entertaining opening 45 minutes, with both sides looking to counter. Leeds have grown into the game after a slow start, but Wednesday have come the closest striking the cross bar just before the break.

Dunno. ESPN said Bannan booked but Sky said it was Sacko and then changed it to Cooper. Text commentary from ESPN and text commentary from Sky are like watching too completely different games.

I wasn't really expecting it, thought/hoped we would have learned lessons from similar games last year. But as soon as they scored the first goal I had that sinking feeling.
