Lawro's tipped us to win 1-0. Is that good or bad?

I mean he’s a utterly useless boring bell end. Does that answer your question?

With crowd? A barreling, noisy win.
Without crowd? A low key draw.
1-1
1-0 Ramsdale to carry one over the line and hawkeye to give a goal
This absolutely needs to happen.1-0 Ramsdale to carry one over the line and hawkeye to give a goal
It would be better if he hadn’t carried it over the line but VAR gave it anyway
The Hawkeye Derby, fuck off Sky.
2-0 Villa.
I think Traoré gets done over the weekend and gets a spot on the bench. Trez deserves to start in that spot.

I think players have to be registered before midday on a Friday don’t they? Or has that changed?
---------------Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett
--------Luiz, Hourihane
Trez , McGinn, Grealish
--------------Watkins
Presume our three new signings will start? Confident enough, it's a new season and blind optimism takes hold. 2-1 Villa

In the interview after he signed he said he hopes to be involved on Monday

Ah, fair enough, got that wrong then. Or perhaps the registration required was completed by then. Good news either way.
I think having a game under your belt is an advantage see Man U , C P today 1: 2 lossHowever didn't work for us or Sheffield Utd at the restart.
Whereas if we'd played and they'd not, they'd be fresher than us and champing at the bit!i think Playing a match is more likely to get you closer to er match fitness
I really really want us to be more comfortable with the ball and retain it better than last season
I know that all depends on the quality of players we have but I thought that was one of the things that defined Smiths teams
rabbits it’s in the headlights far to often especially when pressed
I’m hoping for improvement on that this season and that will bring better results to boot

80-1 on a Villa 3-1 win with Watkins scoring first...
2-0 Villa win and we are 6th with a game in hand (ahem cough)

I reckon he's going to start Elmo instead of Cash or Guilbert. Not sure why, just a feeling. We need to keep it tight at the back as they really should have scored against Wolves last week. I'll go for a decent 3-1 start.

You could be right. Took him a while to trust Targett after a big money move last season, and he might take a cautious approach for the first match.
I can't see that they've got much up front to worry us. Sharp is well past it and hasn't scored since Adam was a lad. Mousset is injured, and McBurnie doesn't get many. Norwood is a good player, but stick SJM on him and tell him to kick him if he gets too big for his boots and we'll be good. 3-0, fuck off Sheffield United, and fuck off Hawkeye.

Can you imagine the apoplexy if we get get another dodgy decision go our way?
Wasn't it £12m rising to £16m with add-ons? Either way I wouldn't expect Cash to play tonight especially having been handed his arse against Man Utd in the friendly. I hope we ease him in and not throw him in the deep end if he's not ready. As far too many of our players found out last season, it's a huge step up.
When you read the pre-match thread and realise after all the excitement and optimism we are likely to start with Hourihane in midfield again. Not that I don't like him, but the with the general squad improvement going on one would have hoped he may have been relegated to a non-starter.
80-1 on a Villa 3-1 win with Watkins scoring first...I stuck £2 on Grealish to score first and either Aston Villa to win 2-1 or Draw 2-2 at 50/1 even though I don't really think there will be that many goals.
