West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[l_mckay]

a draw would be great right now,but the way im feeling after last night I cant help but feel we are going to loose 2-0

[Eigentor]

Hoping for a 0-0 draw, but guessing a 1-0 or even 2-0 loss.

[manic-road]

1-0 Baggies

[Tom wintle]

Does Ridgewell play for them

I believe so

[Steve67]

We are due a win.  One win every five games on average, this therefore is the game we win!!  Either that, or it'll be a draw.  Baggies not so great at home, I'd pack the midfield and hang on for grim death.

[Lambert and Payne]

To those that are going, are you planning on a 19th minute clap? Or is that strictly home games?

[Legion]

Away aswell.

[gervilla]

2-0 to them.
We are not capable of beating anyone with him still in charge.

[Des Little]

Hate to say it but 3-1 to them.  I bet they can't wait to rub our noses in it too, the bastards.

[SoccerHQ]

2-0 them.

They've had our number in the derbies recently after years of dominance.

Don't fancy our back 4 keeping out Odemwingie and Long.

Confidence of the team has gone. Despite the owner's and CEO support McLeish must be dreading walking out onto the pitch. Moreover he has no plan or wherewithall (indeed never has had!) to get the team to perform and break the downward spiral we are in.

Going for a 2-1 loss I'm afraid.

WBA win 2-0 Odemwingie and Ridgwell from a corner

No idea who we have fit but time to take some of the kids out of the firing line now and let these £2 million a year players get us out of this unholy mess

Given, Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Lichaj, Warnock, Herd, Ireland, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor and Heskey if all available with Weimann, Albrighton, Gardner and co as options on the bench

[Karlos96]

3-0 to WBA

As I am a Villa fan I'm naive and romantic, therefore, I'd put Carruthers and Gardner in and tell them to go out and enjoy it, and win the game and come home borne on the shoulders of your team-mates!
We would be no worse off than we have been since January.
