I worry about our midfield getting over run. Who will play with Coker? 2-1 win as long as we take our chances.

[luke25]

0-1 to them lot

[spangley1812]

I think we are fast running out of players......unless im missing some thing the midfield and forwards can only be

Young Coker Sidwell Downing

  Heskey Carew (if fit)

Gabby - injured, Marc - suspended, Fonz - out of favour

[Matt Collins]

Interesting to see how we will play in this one with no Petrov or Albrighton. I predict:

Friedel - Beye, Collins, Dunne, Warnock - NRC, Sidwell - Downing, Ireland, Young - Heskey

I think I would rather play Young behind the forward, but I guess that means Delf on the right which would be a risk. But I'd be tempted.

I'd also like to play Cuellar instead of Dunne, but I suspect that won't happen either.

Can't see us scoring more than one tops, which is a worry. Good job we have  a great defensive record at VP

[The Situation]

Ashley Young is going to humilate slow and shit Agent Ridgwell down the left, we win as usual, Heskey scores 2, Bowyer gets sent off, Stephen Carr is a wanker will be sung, Gardner misses an easy chance and small heathens will be in attendance just to be laughed at.

[PeterWithesShin]

A very very nervy 2-1 win.

[TaxDodger]

I know we're short in midfield but please don't play Sidwell. I'll go for 1-0. Ireland 90+4

Howard Webb reffing this one

-------------------Friedel----------------------
---Beye---Cuellar---Collins---Warnock---
------------NRC (c)---Sidwell-----------------
---Ireland------Young----------Downing---
------------------Heskey-----------------------

That is what I would play

Aston Villa 2-1 Birmingham City

Heskey 32
Ireland 65

Gardner 89

[Reality]

Said Stephen Ireland would score the winner in the first derby match of the season, after we signed him and I will still stand by that prediction.

Us 10 - 0 Them

Us:  Ash & Stew
Them:  Gardner (3), Ridgewell (4) & Carr

Bowyer & Carr red-carded for trading punches.  The ugly one thinks the uglier one is Kieron Dyer.

[The Man With A Stick]

3-1.

Is Albrighton suspended for this now?  Apologies if it's mentioned elsewhere but I went to bed early last night.

Is Albrighton suspended for this now?

Yes.
