Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion Pre-Match Thread

[Fergal]

We are in serious bother, every game feels like we are putting out a makeshift team.  I honestly think we could go down this season.

I fear another defeat and more cock up defending.

[AV82EC]

We'll lose, 3-1 I reckon.  This is going to get a lot worse before it starts getting any better.

[TheSandman]

3-0 Albion. We will let them play and they will play. Unfortunately, they have a good team for once.

[PaulTheVillan]

Those vote results look grim.

[Lambert and Payne]

Nice optimism but were not going good right now
Just spoke to lady at ticket office and she said its doubtful we'll get 40,000 for this game :-(

[Phil from the upper holte]

Villa 1 WBA 2

I can't see where the next win is comin from

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

1-1 is the most optimistic I can get.

[UsualSuspect]

3-0 Albion. We will let them play and they will play. Unfortunately, they have a good team for once.

Agree entirely

Plus they are due a win against us.

I just look at our potentail midfield and just know that it is going to sit back and let them play football and come on to us (like Arsenal) and they will punish us for it.

As for it being an under 40k crowd, it's to be expected with us playing like twats with no heart

[itbrvilla]

1-3.  They will piss all over us!

[pablopicasso_10]

cant see anything other than a wba win unfortunately...

[Mr Diggles]

Too many injuries, not enough belief. Away team to win.

[alanclare]

I just think that something has got to happen soon, so I predict a 0-0 draw.

[stevenjos]

Baggies win. Dunne and Collins play as zombies after the crowd gets nasty at half time.

[DeKuip]

Di Matteo will tell them that the Villa fans will moan and groan and turn on their team as soon as things start going wrong - and that Villa have young players in midfield who could have the confidence knocked out of them by their own fans, leading to extra pressure being put on out-of-form defenders.

How about we prove him wrong and get behind our boys from the first whistle to the last. We're in this together, let's show it.
