Aston Villa v Middlesbrough Pre-Match Thread

Good to see Jedinak back.

I watched Adama display this weekend...
combined with the "see what you missed out on" factor...
combined with the lackluster, slow and static defenders we got on that side (Taylor, Terry).

This might make the Brentford game look like "pure joy and inspiration to build on" and the Cardiff game like a "comfortable defeat"...

I feel slightly ill at the prospect of this one...
