Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[littlevillain]

fulham looked very useful last week but as stated don't travel well. expecting 3-1 villa with Downing all 3 goals .

[cheltenhamlion]

Villa win. Two nil or two one.

[Shrek]

............................Friedel.........................

Walker........Collins..........Dunne.......Clark

.........Bradley.......Makoun.......Bannan......

Albrighton......................................Young
.............................Bent.............................

Marshall, Cuellar, Lichaj, Delph, Downing (rest), Agbonlahor, Delfouneso

I dont expect it, but that's how I'd go.

2- 0 Villa.

Thinking about it, yeah, Downing has a knock so rest him. Bannan was outstanding against Blackburn an deserves a start. But NRC for bradley!

I think we'll win well.

If we keep the ball as much as we did at Old Trafford and up the tempo somewhat, then we'll smash them.

[PaulWinch again]

I think we need to win this game and I think we will.

[Monty]

I think we'll win well.

If we keep the ball as much as we did at Old Trafford and up the tempo somewhat, then we'll smash them.

It is well to remember that it was some team defensively we were up against. They really didn't let us up our tempo despite how well we kept the ball. Like you say, if we see as much of the ball on Saturday as we did yesterday, we'll surely create enough chances to win.

[PeterWithesShin]

I think this is a key game for us. Win and confidence remains high and we can start looking at the top 10 or better. Lose and it will show there is a lot of work still to be done and need to keep looking over our shoulders rather than just upwards.

Us 3 - 1 Them.

[Lobsterboy]

I think this will be a comfortable 2-0 win with Darren Bent bagging a brace.

Would like to see Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Collins, Clark, Reo Coker, Makoun, Agbonlahor, Downing, Young and Bent start

Subs: Marshall, Cuellar, Petrov, Bradley, Bannan, Heskey, Delfouneso

[N'ZMAV]

I'd go with....

Friedel

Walker
Cuellar
Collins
Clark

Albrighton
Bannan
Makoun
Downing

A Young

Bent

[b23]

Hopefully back to winning ways. So a victory.

[JJ-AV]

1-0 Villa, Albrighton.

[PaulTheVillan]

This will be the game we thump someone.

Friedel
Walker Collins Dunne Clark
Albrighton Makoun Bradley Downing
Young
Bent

4-0.

Bent x 3.
Downing.

[TopDeck113]

After tonight's results we're back to making sure we get a result.  I think we will, but it'll be tighter than some on here are predicting.

2-1.   I fancy Bent to get a brace.

[eamonn]

A frustrating 1-1

''AJ'' 21

Heskey 71

[paulcomben]

You are right. We should ideally give West London Designer Store FC a right good pasting. But they ain't necessarily pushovers, unless they visit Bicester Outlet on the way to B6. Midweek results largely squeezed up mid-table, so go Villa go.
