             Burridge
Cooper Teale Curtis Pejic
Bremner  Krulak Cropley Deacy
      Morgan Lochhead

Sub: Ellis ( he can play anywhere)

I reckon he will come on and get the late winner with a bicycle kick.

Followed by a run over to his own Stand where he nonchalantly throws his shirt into the adoring crowd.

Thy looked really good against Newcastle, I'm not very confordent at all.

[TopDeck113]

At present our lack of goal scoring prowess is never going to enable us to overcome the defensive shambles. 

I can easily see it being another defeat and a really ugly atmosphere to boot. 

[HOLTENDER]

This is a must win game, though to be honest I would take a draw now to help "stop the rot".

Just like winning, losing becomes a habit also .... we need a positive result!

Bloody hell, this is Olbiyun we're talking about isn't it? They haven't suddenly morphed into Barcelona have they?

4-0 Villa and they'll be lucky to get nil.

What he said.

Agreed. Not sure a 4-0 but a Villa win. Even with poor recent form, with the right attitude on the pitch we have more than enough to beat that lot.

Am I the only one who has watched our recent games? We're terrible, and it seems to get worse every game. I don't think we'll get relegated, but this isnt Albion circa. 2007-8, and we're not exactly Villa circa 81-82 at the moment.

[Karl Bridges]

Cuellar has to play IMO. Leaving Collins & Dunne together is no longer an option.

[SoccerHQ]

Agreed. There's no justification for playing the same back 4 every week if it's shipping 2-3 goals a game.

I'd be amazed if Carlos isn't somewhere in our back 4 on saturday.

[KRS]

Even with bad form, injuries and all the other excuses...we're actually due a win.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

2-0 Downing Banning

It's all going to come good, 2-0 to the Villa,  Downing and Collins. Mark my words ( unless something else happens then forget I ever said anything)

I watched the Liverpool game with a Dutch friend who knows football but does not know Villa. His unbiased view was that 'the bald guy [ie Collins] is really shit'. Cuellar has to start.

[UsualSuspect]

i think us winning "just because we're Villa" is about a million miles away from the point.

Anyway when NRC and Heskey come come everything will be fine...
