da wazamba: The 30-year-old scored 12 times in 19 Championship appearances for Sunderland in the first half of the campaign before joining Villa from Bournemouth last month.
Grabban has had to be patient since arriving at Villa Park, and has actually only played 79 minutes of Championship football since making the switch.

The experienced forward, who is valued at £2.7m by transfermarkt.co.uk, registered his first Villa goal from the penalty spot on Tuesday night, however, and was praised by head coach Steve Bruce after the match.
The club’s supporters are now desperate for Grabban to be handed a starting role against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon.
Villa are currently third in the Championship table, and the club’s fans believe that Grabban is capable of firing the team back into the Premier League.
