Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers Pre-Match Thread

[WikiVilla]

Baker looks solid, just needs to watch those two footed lunges

[VillaAlways]

    Walker    Dunne      Clarke      Baker


L.Young on bench ??

[PaulTheVillan]

I'd go with that.

Can we please not concede from a corner in this game im fed up of corners. When we take them the ball usually ends up in the keepers hands, against us please Friedel dont bother shouting Away! but concentrate on making an effort to get to the ball and then somehow our defense despite being quite decent in the air end up being caught out as the ball nestles in the back of our net!

Gerrard were shit at them hope we practiced in the break we had!

[PaulTheVillan]

Wonder if Pires will start......

[eastie]

I'd go-

                       Friedal,

walker.      Dunne     Clark.       Baker

       Downing    Reo- coker.   Bradley

         Ash.          Bent.       Albrighton

Win would alleviate the pressure, and in theory it looks like one of those games where we should realistically target 3 points.

So a 4-4 draw it is then.

We can't defend for shit, but at least we'll be one point closer to safety.

I am looking forward to see Clark play centre half. Last time he played there we won 3-0 against west ham.

[TaxDodger]

2-1. Clark 69, Bent 86. Kalinic 39.

[CJ]

3-1 to us - Bent, Ash and Gabby, for us, Formica for them on the counter attack

[Holtenderinthesky]

2-1. Clark 69, Bent 86. Kalinic 39.

When was the last time we came from behind to win?

Baker looks solid, just needs to watch those two footed lunges

And to be a bit more discreet when flogging cup final tickets

I would not put it past GH,

Wow, that's almost a whole year.  Considering the amount of times we've thrown the lead away it would have been a big help if we'd managed to come from behind every now and then to off set it.  That's a piss poor record.  Shows that we know when we are beaten, ie, 1-0 down.
