'Never mind the quality, a win is a win' - fans on Bologna

An improvement, a confidence booster, a win, another clean sheet, and something we can build on. Mike: Not the most convincing performance but after the start we've had, a win is a win. A win is a win but Morgan Rogers, Evann Guessand and Ollie Watkins are dragging the team down - they need to be sat on the bench and bring in Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho for the next match.

We asked for your views on Aston Villa's 1-0 victory over Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Here are some of your comments:

Steve: Well it's a few things! An improvement, a confidence booster, a win, another clean sheet, and something we can build on.

Mike: Not the most convincing performance but after the start we've had, a win is a win.

Keith: It is a start. A win is a win but Morgan Rogers, Evann Guessand and Ollie Watkins are dragging the team down - they need to be sat on the bench and bring in Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho for the next match.

Prit: Never mind the quality, a win is a win all thanks to our captain fantastic John McGinn. Despite his missed penalty, I thought Watkins did OK and if he continues like this a goal will come. We were hanging on in the second half and praise must be given to Marco Bizot who kept Bologna out. Not sure what's going on with Rogers as he doesn't seem himself with a Villa shirt on but can still perform for England.

James: Best first half so far this season. We looked hungry again. Pau Torres added something extra and Boubacar Kamara takes us to another level. Only criticism is we should have converted more chances.

Robert: Fans should hang their head in shame for ironically cheering a successful Rogers pass in the second half, even after an underwhelming performance. Happy with the win. Who knows what's happened to team morale recently but a goal, clean sheet, an odd Tifo and very dubious penalty run up from Watkins makes watching Villa entertaining again. Hopefully a heavy press on the reset button for the season.

Ken: Aston Villa again lost almost all duels and challenged balls. Unai Emery is right to demand more efforts since Villa are obviously in team crisis.
