Saturday 16.1.16 KO 5.30pm

Who can stop us now?
Easy Villa win :)
-
We need to go with the same approach from last night, energeric pressing, in their faces, 100% through out, everytime I've seen Leicester this season there work rate has been phenomenal so we need to match that, we should have comfortably beat them at whatever there stadium is called earlier in the season but for the strangest substition in the history of football and since then both teams haven't looked back, us for all the wrong reasons though.
Leicester fully deserve to be were they are for their no fear approach but with all due repspect there squad isn't much better than ours, they have two stand out players in Mahrez and Kante (I don't buy into the Vardy hype at all) but the rest are average, it shows how appauling we have been all season that they are 30 odd points ahead of us.
We need wins in our situation but I can't see us winning twice in 5 days so 1-1.
-
Villa 2-1 Leicester
Ayew (2)
-
Normal service resumed?
Let's hope not, this is a massive game and well done to the fans at Wycombe for sticking a rocket up their arses. Touch paper lit, let's watch us fly!
-
Leicester aren't anywhere near as good as they're position suggests.
Hopefully the players will take confidence from last night and give it a real good go.
Let's just not let ourselves down.

I disagree, I think they've been superb and deserve to be were they are. We've got an extra day's rest and a hopefully some confidence instilled in us.
-
I have absolutely no idea which Villa team will turn up, if it is the one from last night then we may get something out of it but from what I have seen Leicester are very solid with three flair players and a decent system they have mastered. Tough game 1-1?
-
Leicester are decent, no doubt about that. Not expecting miracles, just hope we go in with the same energy and pressing.
Someone needs to follow Mahrez round the pitch and not give him a seconds peace. He is something we lack badly, someone who can change games and make it happen...like he did in the first game.
I just hope we go for it...
-
No mercy.
-
The 3-2 should be our team talk.
-
2-1 Villa. Ayew and Gil to score.
Fuck the fuckers.
-
Rampant Villa 4 Crisis Club Leicester 1
-
Hope we can turn in a repeat performance and aren't too knackered.
-
The next 2 games will decide our fate (4 points from Leicester and the Albion games, will give us a chance), if we lose both then I cant see us having any chance of surviving.
Lets go for it, what have we got to lose!
2-1 Villa

They have, but they have relied very heavily on the goals of Vardy and Mahrez so far. I think their bubble will burst at sometime soon and hope it starts this week!!
-
Leicester will inevitably run out of gas, still too good for us though.
0-1 Vardy
-
I want the team to play as if they've been snorting coke and injecting Red Bull. 100mph football and dispatch Leicester.
-
Villa win.
Leicester will start to nosedive now.
-
We won last night, with possibly the lowest confidence a team can have and almost open war fare between senior players and the support. It might have been the turning point, for them to finally get a result under Remi, the belief of a win, that his way might work, well I'm dreaming there will be a turnaround now.
2-1 Villa, we need a hero and Ayew is the kid to step up, brace of goals for him.
-
They haven't won in four games, tonight's the fifth. I'll be back later with another useless prediction.
They'll be up for playing us though after facing; spuds, spuds, US, spuds.
-
I think they've worked incredibly hard but much like us in 99, they don't have strength in depth. I think they're losing momentum and we'll see them starting to slide.
I think this is ideally set up. We've finally won at home and they're just starting to run out of steam. Vardy, whilst hitting something of a barron spell by his standards is also out injured.
Fuck the fuckers.
2-0
Ayew and Kozak.
-
One of the keys will be to close Mahrez down a lot quicker than we did in the joke game at the pack of crisps, let him get up a head of steam and he'll make some of our slow players look silly.
-

2-1 Villa
this
-
On current form Leicester are way more challenging than Palace.
We could upset them if we show the same endeavour and concentrate on putting quality balls into their box.
-
We owe these fuckers from last time. 2-0 to us.

2-0
Ayew and Kozak.
Sadly Vardy is due back tonight against Spurs.
We must win this game as we are playing catchup, however Vardy v Lescott for pace is a scary prospect and I'm also unsure how we will stop Mahrez.
-
I rarely watch football on tv but I did catch the Leicester/Man City game a week or so ago.
0-0, but it should have been about 4-0 to Man City...I thought Leicester had very little quality, defended desperately and got a bit lucky.
I don't think they're as good as they think they are.
Fu*k the fu*kers.
1-0 Villa
-
They know they can win now if they work their bollocks off. Believe!
-
It will come full circle this weekend. We should have won the game at their place, and we didn't. It started our plummet towards hell. Now, we have the chance to exorcise that demon, put Leicester on their arse with a win, and properly start out climb to safety.
2-1 Kozak, Ayew
-
3 nil loss. Reality.
Vardy had a groin op ten days ago. If he plays tonight he will be sore at the weekend and Mahrez had been carrying a knock apparently. I sincerely hope both play and put themselves out of the weekend.
-
I'm quite confident after last night - it's now up to RG to get the same out of the players consistently. I've got a feeling it may be a slightly trickier game than last night though, but the players need to remember that losing to Leicester in September was really when the season all started to go wrong for us. 2-1 Villa.
-
4-4 after being 4-1 up with 15 mins or so to go.
-
Come on your Lions! Just go for it! Blood and thunder! Invoke the spirit of our legendary players, have no fear and win!
-
Amazing what a win can do. I feel like a new man this mrning and am actually thinking about a possible escape from our plight.
I think we will turn in the performamce of the year - 3-1 to the Villa. Ayew, Kozak and Veretout!!
-

3 nil loss. Reality.
Vardy had a groin op ten days ago. If he plays tonight he will be sore at the weekend and Mahrez had been carrying a knock apparently. I sincerely hope both play and put themselves out of the weekend.
Yes. I've been thinking about the morality of this. I think it's fine to hope for minor injuries to any decent Leicester player following this evening's match.
Perhaps a strain here, a nasty bruise there.
-
It's about time this lot imploded like we did 1998/9. 3-2 Villa.

I'm hoping they're out for one game and that'd do.

No idea but trying to be optimistic so 2-1 Villa.

It was the next home game after the 7-1 against Wimbledon - 16 goals (11 for Villa!) in two home games!!!
-
If we can ride the wave from the Palace game and get in their faces from the off we have a great chance for win number 3...
Villa to win 2-1 (Kozak and Ayew)

It was the next home game after the 7-1 against Wimbledon - 16 goals (11 for Villa!) in two home games!!!
Sandwiched inbetween was a 2-1 win at Hillsborough, Dean Saunders scored twice and I still think his second goal is the best headed goal I've ever seen.
-
2-0
-
2-2....After leading twice!
Which wouldn't be the death star entrance in the scheme of things...4 points out of 2 potentially very difficult(on todays standings and form) home games...
All we can hope for at the moment is a regaining of some positive momentum...which may well be too late for the race to stay in the division...but will enormously help in the race to re-enter it next May.
Same team...although I can see Garde sacrificing Gil for Richards and moving Vertout to the tip,with Bacuna on the right.
For me,Mahrez is a class act,but the main man is Huth at the back..He wins nearly everything,and I remember him totally bossing Benteke at VP a couple of seasons ago...I extolled his virtues a couple of seasons ago in one of our transfer threads...I wonder if we'd have landed him where we'd have been with a touch of his organisation and physical leadership at the back.
Just keep giving us a little gap in the clouds please gentlemen...110% and we'll applaud and enjoy our post match tot.
-
Exorcise the demons from "that" afternoon in Leicester, then move on and pick up another 3 points at Baggies next weekend...we'll need results to go our way but the table could be looking a lot tighter and more optimistic for the unthinkable.
-
Leicester aren't anywhere near as good as they're position suggests.
Hopefully the players will take confidence from last night and give it a real good go.

Agree totally, one of the form teams and also one of the more consistent in the league. After saying that we are also The "form" team after winning all our matches this week
-
You have to fancy it will be low scoring, their last 3 league games they've scored 0 and conceded 1. We struggle to score and now don't concede goals. So 9-3 to us it is then.
-
They will score two wonder goals and have the majority of the play. In the second half it will be wave after wave of Villa attacks, as the pressure builds the Tinker man will take off a couple of their key midfielders and bring on strikers.
We will score 3 goals in 30 minutes with the final goal coming in the last minute.
Afterwards Ranieri will give an interview where he is apparently close to tears, claiming it is his worst moment in football, but it was nothing to do with his substitutions.
Our players will gain so much confidence we will get 40 points from our remaining games, their players will lose confidence and not get another point. We will finish above them, stave off relegation and equilibrium will be restored in the universe.
-
In the predictions league I have few points from Villa games as I keep predicting this is the game where we finally win.
Yesterday I gave in and had us to lose. Therefore I will predict a two nil away win on there. And two one Villa in real life.
Just you watch. Just when we have all made peace with relegation, the fuckers will dangle some hope at us.
-
2-2 villa centre half to score all four goals

Very good. Nice.
-
Lescott scores four. All four goals are headed nutmegs, but two of them are own goal headed nutmegs.
2-2 draw.
-
I would stick with the same team as last night..I wouldn't bring Richards back personally as I think he is bad news.
-
1-1.
-
Every time I think they'll lose and their bubble is going to burst they keep getting results and winning. They seem like they're there for the long haul and are top four contenders at least. Should be an interesting game Saturday, not many would have predicted it would be bottom v joint top before the season started. They'll have too much for us though, 1-3.
-
Are we going to have a poll?
-
We need to sit back and do these on the counter attack. They have pace and love counter attacking so I think we should turn it back on them.
-
Poll added.
-
How the fuck have Leicester gone from basically where we are to top of the fucking league a year later! Seriously, they work like dogs etc etc, but with everything equal they are living off Mahrez being genuinely brilliant and Rob Huth being the signing of the season last January.
God knows how we will beat them this weekend.
-
Balls, that was a good result for Leicester. I was thinking they would lose tonight and it would be the start of a bad run of form. Hoping the extra day of rest might work in our favour,
-
That goal by Huth is ridiculous - just stands there and nuts it in!
At least our marking won't be that bad...
-
.....are you so sure?
-
Remi has talked a lot about 'efficiency'. Well, Leicester are without doubt the most efficient team in the league. They built their form on outscoring the opposition and everyone thought they would plummet when Vardy and Mahrez either got injured or lost a bit of form, but that's happened and they are still going. They have been able to tighten up at the back to compensate.
-
That goal by Huth is ridiculous - just stands there and nuts it in!

Just shows how easy it is to score a goal - Huth didnt over think it, but knew enough of where to put it.
Its not going to be easy.
They play, without any "superstars", as a unit, that have an understanding of each other. Thats something that Nigel drilled into them.

As was I. Me and me mate sitting at the front of the Doug Ellis and my mate starts taking the piss out of Garry Parker calling him "bignose" a la Monty Python when he took a throw-in. We were 4-1 up and I laughed. That Karma's a right bitch!

-
1-1

1-1
Same here, I see them being the better side but us working our arses off for the draw.
Vardy to score in front of the Holte End first half, Libor to do the same in the second.
-
Why do I have this ridiculously confident feeling that we'll win?
-
Balls, that was a good result for Leicester. I was thinking they would lose tonight and it would be the start of a bad run of form. Hoping the extra day of rest might work in our favour,
Exactly my thinking too.
Bustards!
-
The one thing for sure is we have to worker every bit as hard as we did vs Palace. Otherwise Leicester will win. This is going to be very tough.
At least now people complaining about the chairman not being at games will need to find another topic to complain about with as much vigour.

"He hasn't got enough hair for my liking"
"How many bald successful chairmen do you know?" etc..
-
Hope we win but in reality 2-1 to Leicester.
-
we aren't suddenly world beaters but I strangely don't think we'll lose either. 1-1 draw
-
After the smug bollocks from a Lest o fan a couple of wrungs above me at work earlier, I hope we bugger their goldfish!
-
Leicester have only lost two league games all season, not bad for a team that hasn't cost an absolute fortune. I think it will be 0-0.
-
The next 2 games will decide our fate (4 points from Leicester and the Albion games, will give us a chance), if we lose both then I cant see us having any chance of surviving.
Lets go for it, what have we got to lose!
2-1 Villa
When you ain't got nothing; you got nothing to lose.
-
If we play like we did against Palace then 1-1.
If we revert back to type then a 2 or 3 goal loss i'm afraid.
-
I hope Mr G goes with the same starting 11 as Tuesbury eve. If they play with the same level of commitment and confidence (!) they showed in the second half t'other night I can see us getting something from the game. If not, Vardey & co will rip us a second wotsit. Fingers crossed eh?
-
Ben was a thug.
So was Maggie. #Satire

They have been incredibly lucky with injuries. Their squad depth hasn't been tested; what happens if Mahrez and Vardy get injured?

The bring in somenody like Ulloa, Okazaki or Kramaric. They spent £18m across those three. They probably wouldn't be as effective, but nor would any team in the league if their two best players were taken away from them.
What do Spurs do if Eriksen and Kane get injured?

....They probably wouldn't be as effective, but nor would any team in the league if their two best players were taken away from them.....
Exactly. And here Villa are with Amavi and now Traore, the only players we have - that I've seen - who can whip a ball into the mixer, out on long term injuries.

I don't see why it's particularly relevant to Leicester then. Yes, if their best players get injured they won't be as good as if they don't get injured. Just like us, Spurs, Everton, West Ham, Man City... everybody.
-
They played very well v Spurs in the cup with no Vardy or Mahrez, Okazaki is a very decent striker in his own right.

I think the point is a relative one - some clubs have a group of decent second-string players (eg Man City) whereas a lot rely on squad-fillers (eg us!)

A win and maybe we might start to believe again. Play the same team again as Tues, that team has a bit of fight and self respect. Leicester got a great result at Spurs, hopefully the will think themselves as billy big bollix playing us and be complacent. Delusion is a powerful state of mind. I like it.....

For probably the first time this season, we have something to build on. I agree that we should keep the same team as Tuesday. From what I have seen of them, they play a 4-4-2, so hopefully we can try and outnumber them in midfield.
-
This is probably the most important game in our recent history. We need to build on the Palace result (which so often Villa have failed to do) and if we win it will put us back in a position where we can reasonably hope there may be a chance of catching up with the other relegation candidates.
The away game at Leicester was a defining and very negative moment in our season and Sherwood should have been sacked that evening. Hopefully this game can be the opposite. I think the events at Wycombe had the effect of putting a rocket under the team to show some fight, some pride, and they did. Hats off to Lescott in particular. Provided the selections are right and they fight for their lives we can win this one as well. If we do, I think we can push on and at least get close to contention with the others. And then...
-
Their comeback win against us was the turnaround in fortunes that decided both our destiny until now.
Let's hope for a reversal this time.
-
They've lost 2 all season. We've won 2 all season.
Their second looks handy enough to beat our strongest!
But I feel we owe them - this won't be easy but I'm going for another 1-0 with Libor getting the winner.
It's the hope that kills me! ;)
-
The big thing about this fixture is that the late defeats in the reverse of this and palace are what caused us to be where we are, better management decisions and we could easily have been on 10 points after 5 games and the whole season would feel so different for it. Winning this after the win in the week would be like exorcising those demons, it might be too late to save ourselves but the confidence of righting these wrongs is probably the only thing that could give us a chance.
-
Sanchez, Grealish and dare I say Gabby back available for this. Just Amavi, Traore and Hutton (no loss) out injured.
I'd be tempted to bring Sanchez in for Westwood, but when you've waited so long for a win I guess we probably shouldn't change it.

I don't see Grealish as a centre mid at all. Also if Westwood plays like he did the other night then he's got a role to play.

I agree, Westwood did nothing to deserve to be the only player dropped from Tuesday, that's not fair on him at all, the same 11 should play unless fitness/injuries prevent that.
-
Looking forward to this. Glad Garde saw sense and dropped Brad, Richards n Rudy. Took bloody long enough.
-
A draw for me 1-1
-
Sadly back to earth with a bump. 3-0 defeat
-
Two red cards. Going to be a feisty little scrap.

another 3 points and 5 points from safety, no problaymo

1-1
Westwood and Ulloa
-
Just had a quick look (I don't know why I do it, no good can come from it!!) on their forum....we are apparantly playing Barcelona at their peak and will be lucky to keep it down to 0-4.
One summer and all that....hope we shock em...
-
We will look back on this as the easiest of our 14 league wins this season. 3-1 cruised it
-
I'm predicting a right ol' tear-up & four goals.
Honours even & a 2-2 draw. Possibly.

They will be too good for us, back down to earth.

Yet another win for Remi's Invincibles.

We'll know by 4.45pm tomorrow what we're made of, winners or bottlers.
2-1 to the mighty Villa and the great escape well & truly on, let's have it!!!!!!!!

Got a gut feeling that Gabby (if fit) should start upfront (in place of Kozak)
Think it could be one of the rare games per season that he puts a right shift in and looks unplayable.
Huth to see red for bringing him down clear on goal......
-
I have just had a premonition and it wasn't good I am afraid. Mahrez is going to score for them in a 0-1 defeat by them. I'm off to the bookies to bet my entire life savings on it. I would recommend everybody else does the same. My visions are never wrong.

I have a gut feeling that after Gabby's recent 'back' issues his weight has ballooned to such a degree that he makes Grant Holt look like Rudolph Nureyev.

Got to believe and Leicester have to have a bad day somewhere along the line - 2-1 Villa
-
If I were Albrighton today I'd just blast one in the net for us and force them to sub me and stick two fingers up at all the Leicester fans before going on a lap of appreciation round Villa Park.

I heard Gabby has gone to the baggies.

At least now people complaining about the chairman not being at games will need to find another topic to complain about with as much vigour.
What a load of crap.

People will still complain about the owner never showing his face. Lerner has not become any less of a weasel overnight.

To be fair if Garde doesn't play Bunn and Libor after Tuesday I'll consider that bottling it!
-
Whenever I've watched Leicester, they tend to catch teams on the break and it's normally about 3 or 4 players running as opposed to just one or two, it's very effective. It's going to be a tough game and I hope we stick with the same side. I know we need wins but a draw would be a half decent result against these.

Barring injury, I very much doubt they won't play. Unless we sign a new keeper I can see Bunn being our main keeper for the rest of the season. Guzan won't be playing for Villa in the foreseeable future.

If they try and catch us on the break they'll have a long wait...we don't attack enough for that to happen...:-)

Gabby? If Garde were to play him he'd be about as sharp as a pair of scissors in an infant school.
-

Easy access to the new Greggs
-
Can see this being the sort of game when we put a lot of effort in and give one of our best performances of the season, and yet lose to a late goal, you know just like we might against the Leicester of old ::) Will go 1-2 to them. Kozak for us. A draw would be good to build on though after Tuesday's win.
-
I think Gabby's played his last game for us.
-
I think so too, but in those pictures of them training he looked a lot slimmer than we have seen him a long time.
Edit: I appreciate the pictures could be entirely deceiving. And that he remains the useless, lazy bastard we have seen in the past few years.
-

He may feature in the Cups maybe? But to be fair I wouldn't be sad if this was the case.

That's pretty harsh on the scissors mate.

You'd think this was from a Man U forum
If we want champions league then games like this are a must win no excuses.
we can't drop points against this horrible team if we want champions league football
Easy pickings, the pressure is well and truly on them.
We always shit on the Villa...
If we turn up, we'll win comfortably. Simple as.
this is going to be so easy
wow Villa are still in this league?
-
Remi should stick that on the wall as his pre-match talk
-
1 Bugger all this nicety about them. Leicester are arseholes.
2 I have a sneak that we will go well in this.

It doesn't take much for some folk to 'give it the big un' these days. At least we'll be able to have a satisfying smirk when the wheels inevitably come off & they end up from whence they came. Fuck 'em.

Let's not be too harsh - remember these are people who need plastic clappy things to make a noise as they lack the necessary co-ordination to clap with their own hands like normal people
-
Leicester fans are hilarious, complete small time nothing, piss pot, non entity club that have spent most of their existence playing against Huddersfield, Grimsby and other piles of wank. They had a ground named after a packet of crisps and the thing they are most known for is having a dumbo resembling, boring fan. 20 games of good football and they give it large, with plastic clappers given to them by their owners, presumably because their claws don't make much of a sound when they rattle them together.
Fuck shithawk teams like Leicester, Stoke, Southampton and Swansea.
Please, everyone at Aston Villa get your shit together as soon as possible so we can put fucking, new stadium, flat pack football clubs like those back in their place.
-
Oh and a win, some jammy goal between the keepers legs or off his arse again, just beat these and send them back home with a reality check.
-
I think we'll win. We might need another jammy goal but if we score early on I think we'll get three points. The sky's the limit.

Absolutely, I hate all this Leicester love in. Nasty insignificant bunch of plebs. Still think they'll beat us though, but if we get a win It would be magnificent.
Just watched England pummel South Africa In their back yard, a Villa victory would make a wonderful weekend.
-
I'd like to think we can get a draw. I'd be happy with that.
-
The Leicester love in from the media is completely justified because they have had a superb season. If it was us it would be exactly the same. If we complain when Sky and the like concentrate solely on the Chelsea/Man U/Man City etc then on the other hand an unlikely side breaks that up and they become the focus what is there to criticize? I lived in Leicester. The locals can be utter scrotums but the achievements of the football team should be applauded.
-
Nah, they're cocks.

Bang on. They sound camp as Christmas too with their accent. I hope we shaft them.

Like that bird from Misfits "what the f**k is brunch?!?"
Fair play to them for the season they're having but they'll always be a poxy club from a shithole!

Match thread now open. With added teams.
