This won’t be easy as they look to be turning things around a bit. Back to back wins and two clean sheets. But we have more than enough to come away with a result. SJM coming back in gives us additional energy and hopefully we also have Sanson signed by then, but probably too soon for this game. I suppose he could make the bench. But I’ll go for a solid 2-0 win - Ollie and Jack.
-
2-0.
-
They seemed to have turned a bit of a corner, but we owe it ourselves to run in a few after the number of chances in the recent 0-0. However, I reckon we'll just about squeeze a 1-0 win.
-
FTNKSBVF! 1-3
-
I’ve got, ‘northern kit stealers’
-
Same here.
-
Northern kit stealing, Brexit voting fuckers.
-
A really difficult one, you dont normally win two consecutive aways at the same ground. Cold, poxy every other negative can be said about Burnley and Turf Moor. My take on it though is if Lincoln City and Wimbledon as non league clubs can win there then so can we.
Going for a 1-1 draw lol
-
Live fairly close to Burnley and have friends who are STH's. But despise their '2 big strikers and let's lump it up to them approach' that Dyche has never tried to change - Think we dodged one there if he was ever considered to manage us. Despise Rodriguez after his handball goal against us. Haven't forgiven Ben Mee for his scissors tackle on Wesley that has already resulted in him missing over 12 months - Was there on NYD last year and couldn't believe the assistant referee never flagged or alerted the referee to the illegal nature of the tackle. Hoping for at least a 2-0 win, but first goal critical. Admit I think Taylor and McNeil are decent players for them.
-
FTNKSBVF! 1-3
Is ‘career threatening dirty bastards’ in there?
-
We battered them everywhere but the scoreboard at Villa Park. We know what they will do, defend the 18 yard box with full backs tucked in. Midfield sitting on top of them. Direct ball up to Barnes and Wood and play from there. McNeil is a fine player but this is a spirited but very limited team.
Grealish running at them caused a lot of problems and that rather than crosses from our full backs will be key. Don't think Jack is quite back to his best since the covid break so that might be a worry. First goal will be crucial. Get that early on and we should have enough.
-
Burnley coming into form, but so are Villa. Honours even I think. Hopefully a higher scoring draw than last time, I'll go 2-2.
-
I am going to go with this is a must win game for us otherwise we can goodby to the title for another season.
I think it’s about time we started making matches must win games.
-
We played really well there last season.
Same principle as then, we score twice we win this.
The VP game was incredibly frustrating and can see a similar game given how well they're defending atm. I think I said after that game we really needed Barkley as Burnley leave plenty of space between their midfield and defence and they're not as athletic as many prem teams given someone like Westwood is in there so Barkley could be a match winner in this, think he scored a few past them playing for Chelsea.
Will go for 1-1 though.
-
We should have enough quality and enough fuel in the tank to win this one. But it’s Villa, so not getting too excited. I felt the same way about the Newcastle match and we didn’t have to move above a canter for that one. Hopefully my Pessimism is similarly misplaced for this one. It is difficult to get out of that mindset after so many years of dross. I think it’s just habit really to think that way. Does seem a bit to me still though that games where you first think we’ll win this, don’t often seem to pan out that way. Anyway jinxes laid- I’ll go for a 2-0 Villa win. Traore and Barkley.
-
I see they rested Mee for the cup match. Presumably so he's fresh to commit further GBH.
-
Lat year , the game up there we played well and lost two players for the rest of the season and this season also.
Jammy bastrds at VP, so we should get revenge
But grim place to go to , would not be upset with draw.
-
Head says a draw but I still have an instinctive caution, fortunately I think the players don't.
2-1

Do we know who is broadcasting this one?

Paul Tierney. Stuart Attwell on VAR.

Score first..
-
More importantly who is the man in the middle?
Paul Tierney. Stuart Attwell on VAR.
We've only had Tierney twice in the last two and half seasons, for the Championship final, and the home defeat to Chelsea last season, neither of which I can recall having anything especially contentious.
He does seem a bit card happy though, with 51 yellows and 3 reds in his 13 Premier League games this season.

Arnold Corns

This lot deserve a good hiding after what happened to Heaton and Wes last year
-
I'm all for blaming Burnley for being dirty pricks and the unnecessary jumping scissor on Wes from Mee... but didn't Heaton jump/fall awkwardly?
-

Yes, I really want to see us give these a pasting. Surely they wont be parking their fleet of buses on their own patch?

Yes, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good lynching!
-
Berties on fire . ross should be more match fit , more of our players coming into form . Targett and Konsa looking like 30 million pound players and Ollie will have his confidence back.. Oh did I forget our captain too.
Yes they beat Liverpoo but we are better than Liverpoo at the moment 0-2 . .

Some lovely people in Burnley. A place that voted 2/3rds leave, a place where any UKIP/BNP chancer can count their votes in thousands not hundreds. Over the years I've gone to watch the Villa in some right shit hole towns, but Burnley takes the prize for ticking the most boxes for shit hole place with shit house people. From 1974 and an FA Cup defeat when it was run like a totalitarian regime by the anti-semite Bob Lord to a 2004 DOL surrender in the league cup it's always been shit in Burnley. Generally speaking I've always preferred away days north rather than south but in the case of this bunch of kit stealing oiks I'll make an exception. The foods shit and the pubs are dire if you make it out of them alive. If we ever get back to being able to watch football live it wont be on my list for a re-visit. John Cooper Clarke was right. l'll tell you now and I'll tell you firmly, I don't ever want to go to Burnley !
UTV and FTF. 3 points any way you like.

I went to that cup game in 74, I think it was Rioch,s last game.
My abiding memory was being stuck in a traffic jam for what seemed like hours to get out of town.
We must have been what passed for entertainment, as I can picture doorstep after doorstep filled with gormless looking locals staring at us.

Can't stand Burnley. A nothing club who do just enough to survive each season. Hate Ben Mee too after last years fixture. Wesley still out over a year on... a scrappy, ill tempered 2-1 win.

I was at that game. I remember golf balls being thrown at the c. 7,000 Villa fans by the Burnley fans throughout the match. We lost unluckily 1-0 IIRC.

Win. 0-4
Watkins with a couple, Jack to dance through for his, and McGinn or Luiz to let fly from 25 yards.
Rodriguez to fluff a sitter and Mee to get his marching orders after lashing out through frustration at Watkins, Grealish and Traore running rings round him.

29,000 at that game. I googled their average that season was 20,000. Our neighbours from small Heath had 33,000 average

Yes, Rioch's last game before he went to Derby. Derby were near the top of Division 1 and we were struggling in Division 2, so you can't blame Rioch for going. Burnley were also going well in Division 1 and my memory is that we gave them a good game. Fletcher scored the one goal.

It must have been there or not far away, because I saw him a couple of times in the early 2000s at the football club when I used to go there with work.

To be fair, Burnley isn't far from some lovely scenery in Pendle and the Forest of Bowland. They're not far from the Yorkshire Dales either, but they can be touchy when you remind them of that.

I used to know quite a few Burnley lads, they even took me on a football tour to Belgium with them once - they were good guys.
Anyway, hopefully we’ll smash them into next week, and while I would never normally wish an injury to a player, I’ll make an exception with Ben Mee who’s enjoyed the last 13 months of his career , while the player he knobbled hasn’t even got back on the pitch yet.
-
I was chatting to my dad the other week and in a general conversation about football it came up about an old mate of his who had tipped him off a few years ago about his grandson who was about to turn professional with Man City. Turned out the player was Ben Mee but I didn’t have the heart to tell him my views of the player.

0-1

Surely they will have to attempt to cross the halfway line this time, being the home team?

I hope it's as 'tight' as last time, only this time we're not wearing our comedy shooting boots and a third of the amount of shots we had when we should have battered these last time go in.

Hoping Mee gets a dose of justice.

I'd bring McGinn back for this, as I felt we could have done with his pressing and ability to turn over ball higher up the pitch.
These will sit in and smother the ball 15 yards from goal. When it does open up, we need quick turn over to find the gaps.
Martinez
Targett
Mings
Konsa
Cash
Dougie
McGinn
Barkley
Grealish
Watkins

This will be the team barring any unknown injury or illness.
There's absolutely nothing to fear from Burnley. We know what they do.
Still think it might be a draw tho. 1-1.

This is a tricky one but I think we’ll win it 2-0 don’t care who scores but I think Ollie might get one

Burnley are starting to do what they do every season. Look like relegation certs, then started stringing some meat and two veg battling wins together including against some good sides. They’ll once again be well clear of the drop.
I think this and Southampton are two tough games, if we can come away from them with 4 points it will probably be decent.
We can win up there, but I just hope our flair players like Traore, Barkley and El Ghazi if he comes on, fancy the proverbial cold, wet January night in Burnley.
I would bring McGinn back as well. As well as nakamba did, McGinn does drive us forward more and takes more risks and we were definitely lacking a bit of his energy 2nd half against Newcastle. Otherwise, as you were.
2-0 villa (Watkins, Traore).

Furthest North I’ve been for football is Celtic for a pre-season match v Fulham; Newcastle for a league match with Aussie mates against fuck knows who it was - might’ve been Everton (?) and OT for the Liverpool semi-final and weirdly the game between Utd and Coventry when David Busst had that appalling injury. London’s been my main place for Villa away matches.

And suffers a particularly painful injury (self inflicted) that keeps him out off the game for 14 months.

I do worry about Jack in this game - still one yellow away from a ban, correct? They kicked him all over Villa Park the other week, I'm sure they will try again and it's down to him not to react. Barkley needs to have a big game, physical lad he can mix it up with them.

He's right though isn't he? I mean a similar point has been made by other pundits that the no goal gave us the point to survive.
I think that we are all aware that had the 'goal' been rightly given and we'd gone 1-0 down that the ref had been given unique dispensation to end the game at that point.
It's tough for us that the right to come back having gone a goal down which is habitual in football was going to be denied us but there you go.
The game would have been lost and so we were handed survival by the Premier League.
An absolute disgrace as they say.
-
It's not linear though. How do we not know that if the goal hadn't stood, that it wouldn't have led to a greater effort on our part to get an equalizer and maybe even gone onto win it. It's pretty small minded to see things in such simple terms.
-
That's the team talk sorted then.

Often see Southampton shortened to Soton. But I never see Northampton shortened to Noton. Why?

He should have added "when they nearly did a Fulham and anyway Jack Grealish always dives" for good measure. Put 5 or 6 past them Villa and make Dyche choke on his gravel.

I really want us to punish these as a form of retribution for Wes.

From what I’ve seen of us recently we should be far too good for this lot. 0-3 and another routine win.

Certainly could have been 3-0 at villa park earlier this season. 27 shots !
But only 6 on target. We need to be more clinical if we want to break into the top 6 this season.

I would start AEG tomorrow. He has like 8 scores to settle with Burnley given how many chances he squandered last time. He's not missing those again if he gets a chance.

Agree.
Did you know every time villa score first they have won the game this season
Get ahead tomorrow and no looking back
Punish them!

Because we are clearly much better at counter attacking than breaking down 'park the bus' sides.

First goal is always key. When you consider Burnley have only scored 10 goals all season, it would be we score first, we won't lose.
We need to be at them and swarming them with quick ball. They were an abomination at Villa Park and how they didn't get on the end of a 4 or 5 goal hammering is a mystery.

I've just heard that Konsa has tested positive for Covid?

There was a Tweet that said "Ezri Konsa has just tested positive......for being better than Van Dijk". Is that what you've heard?

Any chance the ref and var could actually do their job tonight and protect the Villa players from the brutal tactics of burnley (particularly mee)? Thought not! UTV!

No surprise, he's been showing all symptoms.
-
About time a team, other than Man City, scored more than one goal against them, I reckon we can do it, going 2 nil Villa, Jack and another sensational goal from the mighty Bert.

Hopefully not on Konsa but this is ideal opponent for Hause, just heading crosses away all night.
Not sure if he's injured himself though still.

Hause is out still

Yep apologies for the fake news there. My work colleague who loves to be melodramatic told me that Konsa tested positive for Covid. He obviously only read half the tweet. Not the first time he's made me look a prat on here.

will post the official match thread soon but SJM is back in for Marv. Shame as he played well the other night but the right decision.
