The win was fully deserved; we attacked them early doors, Villa shut up shop and went for the 0-0 after Richardson was sent off, and it just took us a stupidly long time to break them down due to poor decisions and passes in the final third. The team also did their usual "reset button" trick of dropping deep after going ahead, which as I've said before, predates Irvine.
One of those days that I don't think Irvine could (or should) have done anything different - bar maybe bringing Saido on sooner - it's just that we have a team low on confidence who were in at the deep end today. I just hope he'll stick with them and they'll gel over Christmas.
