Sorry no idea why it is massive on the screen. Hopefully a Mod can adjust
-
Very attacking line up, think I would have stuck with the 3 traditional midfielders myself rather than Jack.
-
4 2 3 1 with Jack in the middle of the 3 I hope.
-
Very attacking line up, think I would have stuck with the 3 traditional midfielders myself rather than Jack.
My concern too, bringing Jack on later in the game.
-
Team that finished at Brighton so no surprise really. Still think Bacuna would be an improvement on Hutton or Westwood.
-
It's Cardiff at home not Brighton away ! 2 in the middle is fine.
-
Got my beer in hand, Watching sky sport news waiting for the goals to come through,
Come on you Villa.
-
Like that line up a lot, reckon Grealish could be the Cardifference between the two teams.
-
It's Cardiff at home not Brighton away ! 2 in the middle is fine.
You still have to earn the right to play though no matter who it is, we already know the limitations of our two midfielders, we won the battle against Brighton and had their backs to the wall and were confident and in control, then went for the kill. Today is another battle to win from the start and I'm sure Colin Wanker will have his team fired up and ready as all his sides are. Just an inkling we are falling back in to the trap of earlier in the season, it might be a different outcome with us on a decent run and confident though.
-
It's Cardiff at home not Brighton away ! 2 in the middle is fine.
Cardiff uncharged from the team that won at Huddersfield. If 2 in the middle is fine it will be a first.
-
Joe Bennett and Peter Whittingham back at Villa Park for them
-
Ffyc y ffycin fuckers! Come on you Lions!
-
I'm interested to see if the confidence of our players and whether or not the belief is now truly there. That we can take the good work done against Brighton into this game and get 3 points. Today really will be 2 or 3 points dropped if we don't win.
-
It's time for a complete performance from us. Build up play, chances taken, solid at the back and in the middle and a comfortable win. We've probably had 1 of those in the last 18 months.
-
The debate above is exactly the one I couldn't reconcile. Very hard not to play grealish after his cameo at Brighton - it is Cardiff at home
But Westwood supporting Jedinak by himself is clearly the concern
I have a feeling this is going to be a tough game. I hate playing warnock teams
Really hope they motor from the off rather than grow into it as per previous home games
-
Got my beer in hand, Watching sky sport news waiting for the goals to come through,
Come on you Villa.
Ditto. But it's on WM DAB so got that on as well.
-
They are bringing a team to Villa Park containing Peter Whittingham, Joe Bennett, Rickie Lambert and that has Kieran Richardson on the bench. They should be leaving Villa Park with their arse firmly handed to them. Let's win today Villa.

Here's the link I've been sending a PM to.
Oh bollocks!! 1 each. FFS Villa.
-
Fucking Westwood! Why dont he just play in their shirt too!
-
Westwood has a knack of losing possession in catastrophic ways. Great trait in a central midfielder.
-
We all knew Westwood's form wouldn't last long.
-
A fucking former bitter bird scores too.
-
When will we get our next two goal lead. We just can't bag the 2nd.
-
Description of the goal please?
The ball went into the net
Good run by Amavi, pulled it back, missed by Ayew(I think) and Adomah drilled it in
-

-
What did Westwood do? Give it away or welch out of a tackle?
-
He's so shit.
-
Shit goal to give away. Cardiff are right dirty fuckers.
-
Paul Lambert continues where he left off at villa.
-
Bacuna warming up.
-
Bacuna for Westwood?
-
Bacuna is warming up - perhaps Westwood has pulled the chain at last on his starting berth.
-
Can Bacuna play in a two? I guess grealish is playing a bit deeper too
-
Yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss
-
Fucking YEEEEEESSSS!
-
Bacuna for Westwood?
Why didn't he just start like that? Has any manager ever explained what Westwood brings to their gameplan?
-
Bacuna is warming up - perhaps Westwood has pulled the chain at last on his starting berth.
Hopefully sold in January, toilet of a player. Even at this level.
-
Get in!
-
GETTT INNN!! Kodjia you beauty!!
-
Boom!
-
No.26 King Kodija
-
Bosh!! :D
-
Good goal.
-
Old man at it again.
-
"Absoutely magnificent"... according to Sir Tony
-
FFS, go and get another one!! Don't let them back into it again.
-
Have it you slags.
-
FFS, go and get another one!! Don't let them back into it again.
Classic match thread reaction to a goal!
-
get a third now just before half time!
-
We'll win today chaps. It's absolutely guaranteed after I had to abandon my trip to Villa Park within 5 minutes of getting in the taxi.
You're all very welcome.
-
FFS, go and get another one!! Don't let them back into it again.
Classic match thread reaction to a goal!
Ha ha - yep. Expect the worst... But yeah, get a third.
-
The BT sport version of soccer Saturday is pretty good
There's a very hot woman on it which makes for a nice bonus
-
FFS, go and get another one!! Don't let them back into it again.
Classic match thread reaction to a goal!
No mate, more recently, or up to the point Bruce got here, it was 'oh, FFS!' ;-)
-
Any idea how we're playing?
Sounded like Cardiff started well, we've had a few chances. And obviously two first half goals is great
I wonder how the formation is working w grealish central and kodjia the no 9
-
Adomah for another MoM if he keeps this up. :)
-
This Kodjia fella is quite decent I've heard.
-
It's games like this I'd rather have RHM coming off the bench than gabby
-

My text alerts have just informed me that the Villa possession was 67% which is pretty impressive.
-
Kodjia is a star. He's on his way up, no doubt. Hope he doesn't spanner it up by going to some pretender team.
-
Come on Villa! I want to see a 4-1 annihilation of this lot.
-
come on lads
lets get a win and keep this unbeaten record to the end of season
-
Kodjia is a star. He's on his way up, no doubt. Hope he doesn't spanner it up by going to some pretender team.
He's at a big team and he's scoring in the Championship. Before we carried away and as much as we all love him, let him do his thing and prove himself at the higher level. This division is full of players who have been outstanding and never gone on to prove it. But there does seem to be something about him and hopefully for all of us he goes on to prove his worth in our colours.
-

Yeah, if the likes of Huddersfield, SHA, Fulham, or even a Narrrch come calling in January we can't compete with the likes of them.
-
Elphick on. Sounds like Baker must be injured.
-
We've lost Baker - Elphick on
-
Baker off and elphick on
Worried about that.
-
Traditional Baker early injury. He's been solid though so I think we will miss him, we'll need another goal, not confident in Elphick at all, looks a true carthorse centre back. Get the next goal please Villa.
-
How many has The Kodge got now and in how many games?
-
Baker off and elphick on
Worried about that.
I think Elphick will be just fine with a manager that understands tactics and defensive formations. With Roll a Dice Robbie it was anyone's guess what was going to happen next.
-
Blimey! Concentrate!
-
How many has The Kodge got now and in how many games?
7 in 12 now I think.
-
Listening on the radio and it doesn't sound good at all. Elphick for Baker. Westwood still on and wasting another opportunity. Then almost another screwup...
Need to get back in the driver seat here, get another goal and finish this.
-
We need to get a grip of the game again here.
-
Yeah, elphick and Westwood right at the heart of our team isn't great
I wonder actually if Bruce will prioritise another centre back this January, especially given Baker's injury record.
-
Has Baker ever made it through a stretch of 5 games without getting injured?
-
We need a centre back a centre mid and a winger in Jan. Need to hold on today.
-
Our have thought either Bacuna or Gardner quite soon, and maybe going to a proper 433?
-
Has Baker ever made it through a stretch of 5 games without getting injured?
He's done himself proud this season but isn't a player you can build a center back partnership with.
-
That guy has , fouled and fouled and fouled, no card!
-
Not sounding great. Hopefully Bruce can change things and get us back in control of the game. Maybe strengthening the midfield with Bacuna for Grealish.
-
Colin was always going to send his side out with some fire so we need to weather this and then slowly take control and kill the game off.
-
Hook Ayew and Grealish for Bacuna and Gardner, 3 points are very important today.
-
Hook Ayew and Grealish for Bacuna and Gardner, 3 points are very important today.
Fuck no. We need to ride this out and have the players to take the game to them. We're playing Cardiff Fucking City. Grow some balls.
-
Ayew for Flabby
-
Jesus! Bruce has to act now!
-
I think I'd take one of the attacking four off for a midfielder - we've still got plenty of firepower with that
-
Blues 2 up now
-
Wake up Villa
-
Midfielder on now please for Ayew.
-
Wake up Villa
Sounds like the Villa fans have woken up.
-
Kodja 7 in 12
Gabby 1 in 40?
Yet kodja is shifted out to the wing
-
Ayew is a big annoying baby... I'm now wishing he fucked off in the summer and we got in Gayle.
-
Nah - needs to be gabby for Ayew. he'll have some legs to force them back. Take the game to them.
-
Flabby booked.
-
Calm down Gabby
-
He's come on? Right now hook Jack for one of Gardner or Bacuna.
-
Kodja 7 in 12
Gabby 1 in 40?
Yet kodja is shifted out to the wing
That's apparently where he likes to play
-
He's come on? Right now hook Jack for one of Gardner or Bacuna.
On for Sulky.
-
whats all this hook bollocks ?
-
He's just such a threat as the number 9
-
How many has The Kodge got now and in how many games?
7 in 12 now I think.
Ta mate.
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh! Wide from Codge!
-
whats all this hook bollocks ?
Indeed.
-
Terrific showboating by Kodjia - almost a goal
-
Booking for one of them.
-
Booking for one of them.
Rather vague that, B.E.
-
This will be a great day to hold out for a win - other results generally going ok for us
-
Gestede coming on.
-
Rudy coming on maybe
-
Gestede coming on.
Against former club
Come on Rudy
-
This will be a great day to hold out for a win - other results generally going ok for us
12th as it stands 3 points off the playoff spots
-
Booking for one of them.
Rather vague that, B.E.
Missed the name in the excitement.
Adomah off for Rudy
-
All sounds very desperate.
-
What was up with Baker by the way? Another game where he plays half the match or less.
-
Ha! Barcodes losing at home to Blackburn.
-
Another one of them booked. The commentators ain't got a clue either.
-
If we not getting 3 points now , Bruce is going to catch some flack from the fans...no matter how well he started.
-
Flabby nearly scored!
-
fkn hell
-
Gabby misses a great chance.
-
Flabby nearly scored!
I don't think my computer screen could take the impact if that ****** scored and he decided to cup his ears.
-
If we not getting 3 points now , Bruce is going to catch some flack from the fans...no matter how well he started.
Really? I don't think so. He's set the team up as well as he could. In any case, I think he has bought himself some latitude with the majority of fans.
-
They're down to 10. 31384 here.
-
Red card for, Cardiff!
-
Red card for, Cardiff!
Unusual for a Warnock team to have a player sent off
-
Another chance missed.
-
Ooooh Codge over the bar. Left foot.
-
now just concentrate! we'll get another chance yet!
-
Kieran Richardson on for them, they're down to 10 men, we've got to be winning this 8-1, even with 3 mins left!
-

Don't be so ridiculous.
-
Ref has been shocking.
-
Brentford equaliser. Good time to win looking at results if we can hold on.
Edit: Sorry. Chalked off.
-
Kieran Richardson on for them, they're down to 10 men, we've got to be winning this 8-1, even with 3 mins left!
I know we keep saying that one day we will batter someone but we really need to batter someone one day.
-
Down to 10. Great chance for young Jack to make hay here!
-
Grealish Mom and pen won
-
Penalty Villa!
-
Penalty
-
Come on !!!!
-
Penalty!!
-
Kieran Richardson on for them, they're down to 10 men, we've got to be winning this 8-1, even with 3 mins left!
Thats right on the nose. How Cardiff can be the better side in this half, with all that and us attacking the Holte. No need for all this drama. The subs been pointless.
-

Thank you Rudy: and it's goodnight Colin! :)
-
3-1, 10 men......

The run is gaining momentum now. Decent performance, real team out there now.
-
I shall celebrate with some Beef Monster Munch.
-
Swansea - Palace looks like a fun game
5-4 Benteke at fault

Apart from Newcastle and Brighton, nobody has got a GD to be worried about in the top 10.
-
I shall celebrate with a hearty dump.
-
Swansea - Palace looks like a fun game
5-4 Benteke at fault
Oof.
-
Taxi for Pardew?
-
I fucking love Steve Bruce.
He's done very, very well indeed.
-
How can you score 4 and still lose...?!?!
-

I can't work out whether you're being serious or taking the piss.
-
How can you score 4 and still lose...?!?!
Ask Legia Warsaw
-
How can you score 4 and still lose...?!?!
When they score five! (Only messing - I know what you mean ;))
-
Oasis as the closing song?!
-
How can you score 4 and still lose...?!?!
When they score five! (Only messing - I know what you mean ;))
He he...
-
I'm glad the Doc got to enjoy this one in person. Solid bloke.

No reason to be looking back now - onwards and upwards.
-
We're on our way. Important game. Yee haw.. yahoo! Up da Villa.. prem here we come. Yee haaw.
-
Another fine win I'm looking forward to our games keep it up Villa.
