Redknapp's Rangers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Stevens is out and Vlaar is a major doubt.

[JUAN PABLO]

2-0 QPR ;(

[Quiet Lion]

2-1 QPR

Me left beating the ground in frustration and refusing to watch match of the day later that night.

[mrastonvilla]

We've almost got as many points out of the last two games as they have all season.

A nervous 1:0 Villa

[Steve kirk]

No win in 14 games for QPR, new manager in place, first home game for that rubber faced del boy wanker, I am afraid the script is written, 2-1 QPR

A nervous 1:0 Villa

That'd do pig (I'm not calling you pig by the way Mr AV).

How about nice relaxing three nil win. Benteke 5 mins, Gabby injury time of the first half and Weimann on 65 mins.

It'll be remarkable if Gabby and Andy both score in the same match.

I desperately want to believe we're starting to put a run together. What's more QPR really are terrible, so on paper it's a good opportunity to put some distance between us and them.

Bitter experience says 1-0 QPR.

QPR 3-1 Villa
They looked decent at OT last week and we were awful v Reading plus Arry has a hoodu over us.

[Mister E]

Both teams have a slightly dodgy defence. QPR have a robust / physical midfield set-up. Our strikers are likely to be more effective.
It's all about our ability to manage their MF and get the ball up to our attackers - it's a game where two good wingers for us could bypass their MF strong-arm merchants ...

So, that'll be a draw then.

[hilts_coolerking]

I'm not looking forward to this.  Were it not for Redknapp I'd take us to beat them comfortably - which we still might - but first home game under him and all that, they'll be pumped up.

[timeoutbigbar]

2-1 Villa.  Clark and Benteke with the goals.

I don't think there will be a better opportunity to get back to back wins than this. We'll make hard work of it and win 1-0

Stevens is out and Vlaar is a major doubt.

Only Wigan (9) now have more than our 8 senior players out injured, assuming Vlaar does not make it.
