Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[Jimbo]

I think we're going to have a frustrating night. It might take a while for us to gel, and judging by the way we played against Man Utd, we look good at playing the tippy-tappy stuff, but we don't really penetrate. I know, that was Man Utd, and this is Fulham, but we find it hard to break this lot down. I'm going for 2:2. Bent and Collins.

[damon loves JT]

We will lose tamely 1-0 and the post-match thread will be like the battle of Stalingrad

[JUAN PABLO]

2-0   


Bent
Albrighton or Downing..

Fancy us to give someone a twatting....and we owe these after that 95th minute equaliser at Fulham, when it should have been all done and dusted well before then.

5-1 Villa (Bent 2, Young, Downing, Walker) (Dempsey for them).

[VillaZogmariner]

Aston Villa 3-1 Fulham

Bent 13
Young (A) 44
Bradley 69

Sidwell 78

-----------------------Friedel--------------------
---Walker----Cuellar-----Collins----Clark---
---------------Bradley-----Makoun------------
---Young-----------Bannan------Downing---
------------------------Bent----------------------

Marshall, Dunne, Petrov, NRC, Albrighton, Heskey, Agbonlahor

That is what I'd line up with.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Would swap Young over for Bannan and Albrighton on the right. That should be the team for a good run then ......

[ROBBO]

Houllier might send a message and leave Petrov out of the squad for his petulance, can't see him taking the trouble to get Bradley and not starting him, all very interesting with numerous permutations.

[eastie]

We now play none of the top 7 until the last 2 games of the season, a big game and looking at other fixtures a real chance to move up to 10th with a win.

Let's go and get it - 2-0!

[PaulTheVillan]

Let's go get some points on the board. I have total faith in Houllier.

[Matt C]

We need to get back to winning ways and I think we will. 2-1.

Marshall, Cuellar, Lichaj, Delph, Downing (rest), Agbonlahor, Delfouneso

I dont expect it, but that's how I'd go.

2- 0 Villa.

Good team.

[The Man With A Stick]

Someone is due a shoeing.  Fulham will be the lucky recipients.

4-0

Bent (2), Albrighton, Young

2- 0 Villa.

Good team.

Agreed. With Downing taking a knock at United he needs a rest, let's not do a Martin and run him into the ground.

[WikiVilla]

It's been one of those seasons and I have a bad feeling we'll go into this overconfidently and our defence will have a mare

1-2 Bent, Johnson, Dempsey

[Rip Van We Go Again]

We will lose tamely 1-0 and the post-match thread will be like the battle of Stalingrad

If that is the final score I shall declare a H & V fatwa on Damon.
