The plan to beat Fulham.

[Matt Collins]

The latter especially I reckon

GF > GA

Are those netball positions?

GS > GA would be!

I was more concerned about getting past Boro over 2 games than playing Fulham at Wembley in a one off. There's no way we'll be as negative as we were last night against them.

We just went from underdogs to favourites in the last few minutes. Don't suppose some Fulham type has got injured or something?

Would it not be the bookies just opening for business, and updating their odds now we're in the final and not just the semis?  Also presumably taking a few quid on Villa to win as well.

They only had the two teams listed so it wasn't a case of they hadn't updated their odds after the semis. Fulham went from 6/4 on to 5/4 against in the space of thirty seconds (I have bet on them as a cover bet). They are back to odds-on again now so I did well to bet when I did.

Odds to lift the trophy not to win after 90 minutes, btw.

From what I remember from the October game Fulham were like Jaap Stam's Reading - lots of tippy-tappy passing round the back in their own half with no urgency, even when they were a goal down.  They're a different beast now though.

They looked vulnerable at the back against Derby so if Snod and Albert are in top form and Lewis/Kodj can convert their crosses then we have a chance.  Hopefully we'll give it a go for them to be in forward enough positions to do so.

Fulham were like that over both previous home games

They never play well at Villa Park for whatever reason, just 1 win in last 14 visits stretching back to 2001.

My plan would be to kick lumps out of them and intimidate them from the kick off. In fact, I'd probably start in the tunnel on the way out.

Guess who was in charge the last time they best us at home....

gotta be 4th time lucky this time - even Holland would say as much  in comparison. I think the mass Villa support and our prestige will see us thru, but as an edge get Alan Hutton to mark that Sessignon player. Probably looking at a Tranmere 94 style win tbh.

The scorer of Fulham's first goal will amuse you aswell, was a great strike.

Yes, think he smashed it in on the volley from 20 yards out. Thought it was the winner but Rodallega scored it. To make things more surreal Grant Holt scored his one villa goal that day.

Get in to 'em....

Turn up and make a lot of noise

[not3bad]

Play with the same intensity that we had when we beat Bristol City and Wolves.
