Blackburn Vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Risso]

You could be right Russell, it's early days as you say, but I hope El Ghazi isn't another Gil type player.

[Fred Crump]

I’ve ballsed up there- I’ve just remembered Chester was a more than competent RB for a season at the stripes. Swap him and Jack over.

[Comrade Blitz]

2-4

could happen

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I've gone for a Villa win as like night follows day, whenever Bruce's job is on the line he pulls off a result.

2-0 Villa

[levico]

Until we sort out our defence and goalie:

3-1 Blackburn

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

We lose heavily. At the final whistle Savo Milosevic runs out of the Villa end towards Steve Bruce and spits at him, it misses.

I know it’s gojng to happen but I’m going to be so angry when come 16:30 I see Jedinak at centre back again 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Damo70]

I went for a Villa win. But had there been a 'To Be Honest A Haven't Got A Clue How This One Will Go' option I would have gone for that. Maybe we could include an 'abstain' option in future.

3-0 Villa.

Barnsley of 2018.

3-0 Villa.

Barnsley of 2018.

A clean sheet with our defence, now that is ridiculous!

[sickbeggar]

think we will win this one. 0-2

[Deano's Mullet]

No faith in his team selection or tactics. 1-2 loss.

[Steve67]

We don't keep clean sheets.  They have a couple of injuries but Bradley Dack is a very good player and will score at least one of their goals.  I said 2-2 earlier and will stick to that.  Grealish and Tammy for Villa.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

3-0 Villa.

Not really. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/09/16/barnsley-0-aston-villa-3moneyball-like-miseryball-tykes-hammered/

“I’ve heard I’m a dinosaur,” said Bruce, aware of the social media response to seven points from seven games before they arrived at Oakwell.

Déjà poo.

Villa being Villa and the torment of being a Villa fan being as firmly established as it is we could win 5-0 then have a six match losing streak but rational evaluation says a 2-0 defeat and our new owners behaving like new owners not warmed over Lerners and Xias.
