West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Legion]

I can't wait for this nightmare to end.

0-0 battling draw.

[damon loves JT]

I'm glad it's an away game. We will play well overall but have spells of panic. 1-1 and don't put the brown trousers away just yet.

[Ricky]

Meh. 

1-1 draw for me too.

[OzVilla]

2-0 to Smethwick.  The jealous guys will be desperate to beat us, their biggest game for years 

Our destiny will be sorted elsewhere.

[villadelph]

No chance.

2-0 Baggies, Odemwingie with both.

[David_Nab]

A draw would be better than nothing now ,loss's for Wigan and Qpr would give us 3 points and gd advantage

[VillaAlways]

2-0 Baggies Lerner and Faulkner on standby in the tunnel to offer full support to Mcleish afterwards

[Matt Collins]

I reckon a battling draw, and nervous phone checking, we'll be looking to the north east clubs to do us a favour.

Given - Hutton, Collins, Cuellar / Baker, Lichaj - Ireland, Herd, Warnock, N'Zogbia - Heskey, Agbonlahor

The combative midfield worked well for 60 minutes yesterday, before completely falling apart. Ireland would hopefully have helped keep some composure in there. I think Albrighton has been really poor this season and doesn' warrant a place in the side.

Weimann's movement was good yesterday, but I thought his touch and decision making were quite poor. Heskey was immense.

Is Herd struggling with an injury? I thought he was excellent.

[David_Nab]

Herd went off with a groin injury ..another in list of strain injuries ..

Cuellar was at fault for both goals so can see him being benched ,if Dunne is fit expect him back in the side.Albrighton should be dropped , well below his best at moment .

[phantom limb]

3-0 Albion win, with the faint hope of other teams at the bottom being shitter than we are.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Defeat if Mcleish is there (which he will be unfortunately).
The only chance of some sort of positive result would have been if he wasn't.

[cheltenhamlion]

If you had asked yesterday I would have said a draw. That result will knock the stuffing out of them. We will lose this and the Spurs game will be horrible.

[Fin Feds Dad]

2-0 to the baggies .

I could weep.

[andrew08]

2-0 to the baggies .

I could weep.

Keep the faith mate......0-0 at best !

[JJ-AV]

Home win. 2-1.
