Birmingham City v Aston Villa Match Thread

I am terrified. Come on Villa.

This. Please, please, please win today Villa.

Agreed. The only way I can handle the football talk at works is because the boss is a Liverpool fan. Come on Villa, give us something to be happy about tomorrow morning!

We really need a gutsy performance from the boys today.  Individually we are far superior, we need to make that show.

Not sure i agree with that.  We are 19th in the league.

[Jimbo]

We've got better players. Today is all about desire and commitment, and the manager plays a huge role in inspiring that.

How many of our players would you swap for theirs?

[Fergal]

We are a good team playing shit passionless football, if we get the passion back into our team and I believe the quality will follow.

[TaxDodger]

Why has he dropped Cuellar? Anyway please don't be at home to Mr Cock Up today Villa.

just seen the team are we really playing Gabby out wide?

A win today would be great- would be nice to do it in style but I'd take a scrappy 1-0, come on john , do it for us one last time and leave us on good terms with the winner!

Looking very good so far.

I suppose on paper he sees this as his first choice - mostly senior pros- selection. Webcam nothwithstanding.

Don't understand Carlos being out and I think I might have dropped Wee Barry in if it wasn't a Small Heath bloodfest. Petrov/NRC better be fired up and let's hope Downing has a good'un. Impressed with him this season.

I can see Marc riding some pretty hairy tackles an'all. They will give him plenty of verbal too. NRC might have to step in. A lot depends on JC.

With Downing and Albrighton on I hope not. Unless Downing is playing behind Carew,

[Gregorys Boy]

Right now I think we need Carew with Young and Heskey out, and Gabby up front on his own just isn't working.

It is the sort of fixture under O'Neill I would have gone for a Villa win without thinking about it, but now the way things are going and with Birmingham being strong at home, I think it end a draw which is no good for us right now.

2-2

Carew and Albrighton for us

Bentey and Jerome for them
