Scores late on to bring Villa back into it at Reading. Good strike from inside the box. The trail 2-1... Whelan scored an o.g. earlier. Villa have been well outplayed by the sounds of it.

Two points behind the club he left. Sometimes things do not go well for big spending clubs?
They aren't a million miles away yet. Come on Brucey, get it together!!
Now he's getting going. Another goal for Hourihane. He has opened the scoring against a fancied Norwich. Appears to be playing in a 4-4-2 beside Whelan. If he gets another run under his belt it would be nice to see him become a real option for us. Having someone in midfield with an eye for goal is important for us.
One wasn't enough for him. Got a second to make it 3-1.
EDIT: Hat trick for him. Good finish too apparently.

That's fantastic. Delighted for him, that should sort out the pecking order in midfield nicely.
Should do but Henri Lansbury came on for the player that started number 10 and got two assists. Pecking order sorted but now Bruce might have to shoehorn in a third centre midfielder.
Hourihane seems like a confidence player though. He went on some great runs with Barnsley. Hopefully this also sparks the latest streak.
EDIT: And the boys on the Villa forum seem to be really keen on him (as you would be when your player gets a hat trick): https://www.villatalk.com/topic/1603...ihane/?page=71

Hat trick eh?
Seems a while since and Irish internation got a hat trick at club level.
Who got the last one?
I can't remember, surely we don't have to back as far as Robbie Keane?
I really looking at the top two tiers.
[edit] It was not Keane, so who was it?
Did Daryl Murphy get any in that prolific season he had with Ipswich?
Tweet here with Hourihane's goals... Funny comment about the Norwich keeper celebrating the hat-trick also.

Hourihane only got 7 last season!
Walters notched a hat trick against QPR in January 2015
Hourihane looks to add goal threat to Ireland - http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/s...nd-457922.html
Only one midfielder has ever scored over ten goals for the Republic of Ireland... that's astonishingly poor!
A bit disingenuous not to mention Ian Harte and Noel Cantwell who both hit double figures from full-back.
[Edit]
Didn't Cantwell score more than Daly as well?
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
