Aston Villa v Southampton Match Thread

One thing we can rely on with Delph is that he will no doubt pick up a yellow card

[Eigentor]

Delph probably doesn't deserve to start based on current form, but I think he actually has the potential to become a decent Premier League footballer. That view is mostly based on performances in the tail end of the 2010/11 season, mind.

[Boz]

Hmm, Vlaar on bench. Probably just easing his way back to full fitness rather than rushing. Hopefully we don't need him today but I'd be more confident if he was playing.

If we need him it will probably be because we're losing, but it might be too late as we' ll have to score

Do or die game this for lambert in my opinion- we cannot afford another tepid wiganesque display - vital we don't concede early.

I've got 16th minute in the sweepstake.

[The Situation]

I'm very nervous for Villa today. Our confidence took a big hit over the Christmas fixtures, maybe even more deflated after Tuesday. Can't say im looking forward to today's game.

Clark and baker look dodgy formwise, vlaar must  have been  struggling or I think if at all possible lambert would have started him.

No Bent in the squad... But Balsa Ron on the bench. I may regret saying this but I quite like Delph.

Repent heathen!

Ummm. I hate everyone?

[Boz]

QPR have another point, we definitely must not lose today.

[Apyadg]

At least Bennett is sick. Shame he hasn't spent the last few days sneezing all over Delph, mind. If Lambert keeps giving him a starting place I'm going to need to enquire about the cost of taking out a hit on him.

That seems more palatable to an H&V match thread.

Not enough swearing though.  Must do better.

STH but missing in action today... the trip to Bradford on Tuesday sent me on my way with a week-off-work dose of (non-man) flu. Any links to useful streams once kick-off arrives, much appreciated. Ta

I know what you mean, I find him a really tidy player. He needs to work on his tackling though. There's definitely are good player in there, he just needs confidence. Some of the goals he scored for dirty Leeds were amazing, regardless of their division.

Afternoon by the way everybody.

Fucking come on Villa.
