True. Efficient performance is probably the polite description. Restricting them to 2 shots on target over 2 games is great defence, but definitely a Bruce special performance.
Fulham will definitely be tougher - depends if we can mark Sessegnon and Cairney out of the game. Can easily see it going to penalties (for Jonny) unless we can sneak a first goal. Bit of Grealish magic and/or JT from a set piece then close it down please.

On reflection i think the fact that Borough didn’t come out and go for it completely stifled us going forward. We were set up for the counter attacks and they consantly had 10/11 men behind the ball.
I’ve watched the Johnstone incident back and we are very lucky that Mike Dean is completely incompetent. Yes he let loads go on Grealish and carded Villa players unfairly imo, but if he had sent SJ packing the wheels may have come off.

I’m obviously happy, but that was a terrible game to watch. We are lucky Pulis is such a boring bastard and they had no plan B.
Great to get to the final though. We will have to be on form against Fulham mind, they looked good last night.
VP was jumping though, great atmosphere.
