Fulham v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[silhillvilla]

Thanks, so they are beatable at home 
It's up to us to bury our chances that will inevitably fall to Bent and or Benteke

[Rodders]

Villa 26 - 3 Fulham.

Or a nil-nil.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Do not want to say the cliche "must win game" but this is a must win game. Fulham are not the strongest in defence and i am hoping he will play Bent - Benteke also Albrighton-Holman for a supply line. 1-2 Villa Bent-Holman .........

[Legion]

Norwich at home is more 'much-win' than this.

I think a much improved performance a 1-1 draw. We'll take the lead and concede a late equiliser!

[Rigadon]

1-1

[Karl Bridges]

First away game for a while, hoping for a win. Settle for a draw 2-2.

[DeKuip]

It'll be rained off and played Sunday. 1-1.

I'll take a draw right now. To be honest, Fulham are an okay side. It probably suits us more than playing a Southampton say. We were so disappointing against the Saints and the Hammers. We seem to do better against the middle ground teams. Spurs etc are too good. The shiter teams in the top flight leave us a little complacent and naive.
I don't think we'll lose those one. Then again, I can't see us winning it either.

1-1 Bent.

[manic-road]

1-1 Bent

[Matt Collins]

I don't agree this is a must win game. A draw would be a good result

I haven't seen any official  suggestion kea is injured. Is that right? Any news on Bennett and Ireland?

I think benteke and bent up front

[Mister E]

Unfortunately, I don't think we've yet mastered it and I expect Fulham to beat us.
Sorry.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Lose 2-0

[tom jennings III]

My first match of the season so very keen to see the new Villa lads and ethos in the flesh. A 2-0 win repeat of a couple of years back would suit me down to the ground but I'm concerned we'll struggle to contain Berbatov and Rodallega if they turn up. I've gone for a draw but would love it, love it if we beat them!

[silhillvilla]

A point here would be decent.
