1-2. Lambert celebrates by running Mourinho style down the touchline, ending with a knee slide in front of the Holte.

They were excellent, they really were.

Alan Brazil to explode with the emotion of another heart-breaking blow, courtesy of the mighty Villa. 3-1.

4-0 us. We will break out of this recent funk and who better to help than TSM2 at Villa Park. No doubt his team will dominate possession in their own penalty area periodically giving it away for us to score. I expect an excellent performance by Ipswich on their way to a thrashing.

Real problems for DS if he dosen't win here.

Even with our issues we're still 21 points ahead of Ipswich which gives an indication of their lack of quality.

3-1 which will start another false dawn most likely.

Can't see how these aren't on the receiving end of a right good shoeing.

We'll get 4, Green, Adomah, and two for Abraham in his easiest afternoon yet. 5 if McGinn's 30 yard screamer can avoid the face of the woodwork. They'll get a really excellent none.

Season over if we don't win. Think we will. 3-1. After being 1-0 down at half time.

Post by: Steve67 on January 23, 2019, 09:24:29 PM
I always think we'll win this.  And then I see the line up and Hourihane, Taylor, Bjarnasson and Whelan usually factor in there somewhere and lose all enthusiasm.  I think we will stop the rot and win this one though.  A Whelan hat-trick.

3-1 to The Villa. Sears up front is the only real goal threat they have. If we concede more than one goal against this lot our defence is even worse than I fear.

Ipswich are conceding on average 2 goals away from home and we're on averaging scoring that number


They're mistake ridden and I think we'll have too much for them. 3-0 Villa.

Problem is all sides seem to raise their game coming to a great arena and playing surface . With a few more signings and PL return it’ll be another bunch of visitors raising their game. Having said all that......  come on Villa we need a win to stay with an outside chance of play offs

The new def MF and left back will probably be paraded at half time 😜

To jedinak or not jedinak? That is the question

Whether it is nobler to play hourihane as a deep lying playmaker and hope that by outrageous fortune we can tighten up at the back

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and tell jedinak to head anything that moves and just sit in there

Hause needs to start otherwise what is he doing here?

Anyway, they will camp in their own half, so it will be a good excerise in breaking teams that park their tractors, down.

Early goal to us and nothing until mid 2nd then we'll win 3-0.
If we cant beat Ipshit then we might as well give up.

To be fair, the only thing Lambert knew to do, was to get the club to upgrade his contract.
And to do post-match interviews that could be interchanged with any game, against any team, regardless of the result.

I would love it (LOVE IT) if we utterly spanked these. Nothing against Ipswich, but just as a 'fuck you completely' to Lambert for those Wigan, Chelsea and Bradford games.

Sadly 2-2 is probably much more likely.

Either way: Up the Villa!

There’ll be plenty more times to get 3 pts in championship over next few years, so don’t pin everything on tomorrow, ur current circumstances are much more important . 3pts, however may just numb ur pain for a couple of minutes....it’s nice to know that we are all desperate for 3 pts but tomorrow knowing they’ll be more poignant for you wil make them special.

Firstly, condolences to you and all your family Devilla. Hope they win for you today.

If we can get the first goal, I think we will be fine. Lambert will know from his time here that keeping the score at 0-0 or snatching a lead will frustrate the crowd. They will probably score though just because our defence is so fragile at the moment. I'll go 3-1. Abraham with two and El Ghazi. Paul Mariner for them.
