1-0 Bent.

Neither team are great going forward, but wee Barry might just get a bit more time and space to create at home than he does away. Indeed, I think we will see a lot more of him on home soil, away games he is still very light for. I would like to see Jenas fit and Gardner in the reckoning ASAP too, as Delph needs pressure on him for his spot.

Starting I would like to see Albrighton in, but the only way I can see that is to drop NZogbia on current form.

[UsualSuspect]

Well said, he is a very good player, I'm fed up with Villa fans slating him.

Unbelievable

Would that be because he treated the club with complete and utter contempt last season?

Just give him a knighthood and the freedom of Birmingham as well

[Dave Cooper please]

A bit like you seem to do with every single post you make.

[Hookeysmith]

Have been off the site for a bit

Is Jenas injured?

3-1 us  and a decent performance for a change

[Ryu]

Yeah Jenas is injured and Heskey got injured in the Everton game. Heskey is definitely out tomorrow and I'm pretty sure Jenas is as well.

[N'ZMAV]

I'd like to see this team.

Given

Hutton
Collins
Dunne
Warnock

Albrighton
Petrov
Delph
N'Zogbia

Bent
Agbonlahor

Serious question.

Is anyone's adrenaline pumping for tomorrow's game ?

For the first time in ages so early on in the season, I'm just going because I have a season ticket.

2-0 home win and pretty comfortable.

Newcastle lost their last four games at VP so not a ground they enjoy visiting and i think their early results have flattered them, good defence but not much else.

I think Albrighton will start after his assist last week and probably Bannan in for Delph so we'll push Gabby right upfront alongside Bent.

Hopefully the booing from the Newcastle fans will motivate N'zogbia to actually start playing like a 10m player aswell!

Likewise - sad isn't it !?

[Richard]

In fact, would add that it has almost got to the stage where am looking forward to only 3 or 4 home games this season - West Brom because my best mate supports them so it means something, Liverpool because Downing is hopefully going to get some stick, and probably the Manchester clubs because they play decent football !

[SoccerHQ]

Wait till Sunderland sack Bruce and appoint MON as their next manager. We don't play them at VP until April....

Yep, almost ditto.

Really sad to admit to isn't it !

[Matt C]

I'd go Bannan for Heskey but otherwise as you were at Everton.

2-0 Villa - N'Zogbia & Bent
