Aston Villa managed a comfortable win in their clash with Walsall last night, by a margin of four goals to one.

Despite the uncertainty around the club it was very much 'business as usual', with stars such as Jack Grealish given a run out at the Bescot Stadium.

A hat-trick from Conor Hourihane and a strike from Glenn Whelan saw Villa run out comfortable winners, giving those in attendance something other than impending financial meltdown to focus on, at least just for an hour and a half.

Fans in attendance were happy with what they saw, both from the players who might be leaving and those likely to stick around for the upcoming season.

It was Grealish they reserved some of the most effusive praise, the young man targeted by top flight clubs turned in an assured and exciting display which only served to underline what they'll be missing if he leaves.

It might 'only' be Walsall, but Villa fans need every crumb of comfort they can get in a summer that has to rate as one of their most challenging on record. Here is a selection of their thought, courtesy of Twitter.
