Aston Villa were looking to get back on track last night against Preston North End but were fortunate to escape with a draw from the match at Villa Park. 

Alex Neil surprised Steve Bruce by going with two strikers and it worked. Villa are still looking for a way to deal with the absences of Albert Adomah and Jack Grealish and last night's game continued the struggles.

It means that Saturday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday takes on even more importance for Bruce as he looks to avoid making it three games without defeat.

That does not sound like many but the promotion battle is so tight and not winning games can become a habit just like winning games does.

Club legend Ian Taylor has had his say on last night's action and the forthcoming trip to Hillsborough, on Twitter.

Villa fans were not slow to respond on Twitter and we've taken a look at the best of their reactions...
