Aston Villa vs Queens Park Rangers Pre-Match Thread [POSTPONED]

Will be interesting selection.  Rush Grealish & Albert back or play safe and be confident we can beat them with what we have?  Tough call.  As it's QPR I may be inclined to give them another week to give them the best possible chance of being fully fit for the rest of the season. 

I'd really like to see O'Hare in the squad, but clearly Bruce doesn't have confidence in him for some reason.  Surely Onomah has now had his chance and will be bench at best?

If either Grealish & Albert are "ready" I'd err on the side of caution and put them on the bench. The team have regrouped and should be able to beat QPR. Even without "the FA payment" 

As for Onomah, I'd rather not even put him on the bench - I'd sooner see Gaby on the bench than him, as you know that at least he cares about the club and would try.

3-0 Grabban 2 and Hogan.

My main memories of them are beating QPR at home early on in the 1992/93 season. Superb individual goal from Dalian.

The last game of the 92/93 season was at Loftus Road. Easily three quarters of the ground were filled with Villa - we sat in the home end - mass conga on the pitch at the final whistle. Great day out

I'm going for a 2-0 win.

Flying over for this one at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning, so here's hoping the snow doesn't disrupt anything.

Not sure what to predict really. I'll take a scrappy 1-0 win though.

We've got a Tuesday game next week, but then have only two Saturday games before an international break.  If there are any doubts at all though, I would rather we held them back and got them right for the final push after the break.  Our fixtures before then are QPR (H), Sunderland (A), Wolves (H) and Bolton (A), so Wolves aside a pretty decent run.

2-0. Onomah hat-trick.

Yep, some of the best goals I've seen at Villa Park.  We were very good that day (Andy Townsend having an excellent Villa Park debut if I recall correctly), but I remember Les Ferdinand also being superb as well and being one of the few forwards I ever saw give Paul McGrath a really tough afternoon.

I was thinking something similar earlier, Tom.

Was a great goal he scored, too.

2-0, nothing to see, move along now please. Easy Easy Easy

Hope trains up from south are ok as bringing the missus up for this one. 3-1 Villa

Brilliant. My first ever Villa home match.
