Smith: Belief is growing among Aston Villa squad

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith reckons his players are growing in belief and are starting to look like โ€˜one hell of a team.’

Former Brentford boss Smith took over the reigns at Villa Park from Steve Bruce back at the start of October. However, he suffered a disappointing start to his Villianโ€™s career, losing two of his first three games, although his side have since won two on the trot to move up to 11th in the Championship table.

Aston Villaโ€™s last victory was hugely impressive 3-0 win away to high flying Derby and Smith feels his players are believing in themselves more after recent performances.

โ€œ(Before the Derby game) there was an opportunity to draw a line in the sand, to show where we are at,” Smith told reporters.

โ€œWe showed what we can do.

โ€œAnd it shows the quality we have in the squad and if we perform like a team, as we did, we can get performances and results like we did.โ€

โ€œCertainly the performances we have had have given them a lot of belief.

โ€œThere are still things we need to get better at – defending long balls down the middle for one, where they created a couple of chances in the first-half.

โ€œBut when we have a gameplan and the players follow it, we look one hell of a team.โ€
