Yeah the support is amazing but i doubt it will be the same for another season in the Championship. We went up for the Burton and Leeds games and it was great, we played pretty poorly both games and the Cardiff game was a joke. We all know what we need in midfield but i cant personally put my finger on the exact player/players.
I think if we went up this year through the playoffs and came back down we would lose a lot of players and would be in a worse position.
Its a shame we had such a bad start to the season, wish we could have had fat head from the off.
Glad to know there is another Villa fan on here to vent too.

Oh hai!
I think the championship is shit. Which makes it all the worse that we look like a comfortable mid-table championship side. I can't believe we're back to playing Bunn in goal but the major problem is no midfield. Our hundreds of forwards are never going to start scoring if they don't get any consistent service and the defence is always going to be under pressure with no protection. I thought Westwood would have found his level but it's embarrassing seeing him and Gardner together.
Cardiff was particularly grim, but the ref let Grealish get kicked off the park which didn't help.
I'm not sure Lansbury is the answer...Hourihane maybe - but need bodies there.
Seriously thought we'd be in Newcastle's position now, but RDM's spending was so badly balanced we're playing catch up. Even if we make the play-offs I shudder to think how bad it would be back in the PL. Expect Spurs to put at least 4 past us.
You're right that the attendances are amazing - 41k+ on Boxing Day against Burton is huge and the away support is fantastic. Wish they had something better to enjoy.
