The Championship is back this weekend and we surely cannot wait to see how the Villans do as we take on Blackburn.

The team has been in fine form in recent weeks and there is now a great chance of them making the top six come the end of the season.

And, indeed, where we thought that the international break might harm momentum, it might actually now act as a catalyst to add to it.

Whilst Ahmed Elmohamady was rested for Egypt and Tammy Abraham appears to have recovered from a knock, Conor Hourihane has added to the fortune to come from the break.

The midfielder was absolutely brilliant for Ireland against Georgia last night and scored a cracking free-kick – adding to a string of performances for the club in recent weeks that have been class.

Now, we have midfield options like him, Glenn Whelan, Jack Grealish and John McGinn all doing well at the perfect time and so Dean must be sitting there grinning like a Cheshire Cat!
