I can’t believe how Villa’s season has turned around in such a short space of time.
Hand on heart, I didn’t expect to be anywhere near the play-offs this season – I fell into the camp that thought Dean Smith should be given the summer to rebuild the squad, then let’s see what happens.
But Jack Grealish’s return could not have come at a better time, and he looks fitter than I’ve seen him for a while.
But the fact that John McGinn is producing some of his best form of the season as a result Grealish coming back into the side is a an added bonus.
I was worried that there seemed to be divisions in the camp a few weeks ago, but Jack seems to have united us again and there’s nothing like results to change the mood.
We can’t stop now, let’s put together a serious play-off bid!
