West Midlands Village vs Yorkshire Whites Pre-Match Thread

Come on Villa boys, another 3 points please to pressure 2nd place! UTV

[Villafirst]

Just can't see us getting second place. Villa need to box clever now and ensure players are fully fit for the play-offs. I think we'll win this game 3-1. Leeds, apparently are suffering with a long injury list.

I've been away for a much-needed wee Spring break, but I'm none the wiser about what Village team will turn up tonight. The midweek victory over Colin's Cloggers were typical Villa (ie expect the unexpected), but I was quite-lidderally jumping for joy after seeing the result. The Yarkshire types current plight doesn't fill me with nerves - especially with their injuries - so I'm hoping we can kick on to a strong finish to the season.

2-1 to the Village: and a further stay of execution for Brucie.

You just know that when jnr and I head down the M6, Village will do their level best to put a dampener on our Dad and Lad day/night out !
Hopefully we will celebrating another 3 points to secure that play off berth
I will be cautiously optimistic with a 2-0 to the Village
Whatever happens jnr and I shall be having our much anticipated Balti pie and chips prior to kick off - in all honesty that ritual is usually the only enjoyable part of our trip down

[Bad English]

3-0 Villa.

2-0 Villa win.

Whilst there's still a shot at getting second we have to keep pressing the issue and just hope Fulham slip up.  This is a strange game as Leeds have nothing to play for and sometimes that can be dangerous. But our home form has been good overall and we should get a boast from beating Cardiff.  Will go 2-0 Villa.  Grealish and Double A. 

[Lastfootstamper]

As always of late, the only thing that will stop us winning this is ourselves. Even with a few changes, we should have enough to see off these.

3-0 us. Full steam ahead. Keep winning, let's see where we can get to.

[Oscar Arce]

We will win, I'm going for 2-1, despite some nervy moments, typical Village.
Have a feeling he'll rest Adomah tonight, he's looked in need of a break, and the team I'd pick would be:
Johnstone
Elmo Chester Jedinak Bree
Bjarnasson
Snodgrass Lansbury Grealish Grabban
Hogan
Subs: Bunn Samba Taylor Whelan Adomah Onamah Kodjia

Would like to see RHM on the bench too, maybe at the expense of Adomah. We should have enough there to beat Leeds without him in the squad.  He needs a rest and to be ready to go for the play offs.

When the (terrible) new Leeds badge came out a few months ago, it was thought that it looked like the badge for Leeds in Pro Evo soccer on games consoles, which have the team names above due to not having the licence to use real teams.  Our OS ran with it, and put an article up using the made up computer game names, to much merriment on Twitter.

Would not start Kodji he still working his way back and with play offs a more likely outcome we need to get his fitness up but not risk a re occurrence of injury so still on the bench for me.

Hopefully Thor is fit I'd consider Onomoh and Lansbury coming in to freshen things up as well.

Thor is fit, Terry, Hutton and Tuanzebe are all still out.
