Aston Villa v Southampton Pre-Match Thread

[fredm]

A very poor team who cannot defend nor hardly score many goals - nil

A poorish team who cannot defend but can score goals - Three (and easing up)

[Pete3206]

1-0 win

[Rudy Can't Fail]

A game we have to win but we won't we are dreadful can see Southampton winning 3-1.
If we lose this will be the game where the crowd starts to turn so I can see this getting
ugly on Saturday.

This. My only doubt is whether or not we'll score a goal. If we do, it'll be in the last few minutes of the game.

[Greg N'Ash]

Lose this and he's on his bike. 2-2.

[N'ZMAV]

They'll be well up for this game. I'm worried.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Truthfully, I'm a tad worried about this.

I reckon we'll lose this one 3 or 4 nil.

The best man-manager in the world would struggle to motivate our team after last night. And I don't think Paul lambert is even close to being that.

At this stage, I would take an eleven-men-behind-the-ball 0-0 draw.

What has the Villa come too when I would gladly accept this but unfortunately it won't happen and we will concede yet more goals in another abysmal defeat!

[rob_bridge]

They score goals - we don't. Another hammering.

[N'ZMAV]

I think it will be 3-0 Southampton.

I know most of you will disagree with me, but man for man we have better players, so they need to put the last month out of their minds and get back to that side that played so well and won at Anfield.  Easier said than done, I know!

I'd play Herd as a holding midfielder as we simply HAVE to shore things up.  After that, we do carry a goal threat ourselves, but it's hard to see that when we're so busy letting goals in that nobody has any confidence in the team.

1-1 draw.

Must-fucking-win game. Let's hope they don't bottle it.

[placeforparks]

saints have a spine and a bit of battling spirit about them. we don't.

3-1 saints.

[supertom]

Absolute must win. Arguably our biggest game of the season thus far. Sadly, I can't see us winning it.

0-0

Must-fucking-win game. Let's hope they don't bottle it.

Like the Wigan match?
