Millwall v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Lambert and Payne]

No pride, no guts, no passion, no organisation, no motivation.
Millwall 3 - 0 Over-paid tosspots

If we decide we want to play the opposition in the second half, unlike in the last two games, well then I think we will have too much for them.

Last night was the lowest point in all my years supporting Villa, if the players have pride in the jersey they wear (and that is a big "if") the shame of last night's result should spur them on a bit.

A loss, we will score early again and they will score from two corners late in the game.

Funnily enough I think it is the perfect game for Lambert. He has a few days to rethink his "plan" and give something a try on Friday night. Preferably with Bent up front and some width. A win, good performance and a few goals from Bent in a different system might see us go into Newcastle game with some confidence.

It's a free game for PL. We're not going to win this competition at this rate, so in a way the pressure is off before it is very much back on the week after.

3-1 millwall .

Just thankful it's not on the telly so they can't embarrass us again .

[UK Redsox]

I know that the game isn't on TV in the UK (which is understandable. Why would ESPN waste one of their slots showing Villa) but is it being shown overseas and thus available by........... ahem, teletext ?

A draw on Friday, bring them back to VP so they can humiliate us in front of more supporters. Someone said last night that Sky are now showing this but can't find anything to confirm it

Have we sold out our allocation now? I noticed it isn't on the ticket page anymore.

[andyh]

Really couldn't care less about this.

Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.

We won last night

[olaftab]

I care and we will win this if not on Friday than after  a replay.

[Malandro]

I care. But still think there is a high chance we will lose.

I'm not saying we have the worst players I've seen in this division, but some of the performances have been the worst.

[stubbsyandy]

Play the reserves, get beat, take it and move on. It is a Friday night game so won't attract that much attention anyway and could hardly be called a shock result!

Much as it grieves me to be in this position I have to say I agree with this.

[mrfuse]

I care about every game but it comes at the worst point possible. With Newcastle not playing we are going to be so jaded Tuesday.

He's too stubborn to change his plan, the lack of width last night was awful, if we used players for an over-lap last night I believe we could have won.

Whilst i understand where you're coming from, that would'nt be fair on the fans travelling down to watch us.
