What a game to get a ref like that, gave everything to Villa, even excessive added time in each half. The only reason it's a two game ban is because of the retrospective ban earlier but how many players from any team this season have had a retrospective ban? Hourihane obviously didn't.
In the play-offs you need a bit of luck and it was certainly not with us today. It's not over but with bad luck, injuries, suspensions it doesn't feel like it was meant to be this season. Harvey Barnes recall before Puel was sacked was a killer blow but the way the club has been run, we'd be limping over the line if we do somehow turn it around and get promoted.
Gayle put in a very good performance in what would have been a large audience so I doubt he will be short of offers. I hope he's back here next season but don't think he will be.
