Millwall v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[LeeB]

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

we won last night didn't we?

I don't think it's possible to imagine a more hollow victory in the history of football.

Good chance to see how we will do away in the championship next season.

home win, past caring

Johnny mate, I just can't believe you.  I have a fair idea how you're feeling, just like the rest of us but, I'm pretty sure that come Friday you'll still be looking to see how we're getting on and hoping it's for the better.  It's in the blood lad, you just have to accept it and keep the bright side out.  That goes for us all.

Yes but no more fixtures against League 2 sides in prospect.

Same as , thinking of giving the game a miss as well, it will take a while to get any passion for football back after last night .

[Martyn Smith]

The reason why the game has been put forward to Friday night is that there is a protest against the closure of Lewisham Hospital happening on the Saturday afternoon.

I cannot honestly say I've ever been happier to see a Villa game moved.

Going to try to get to both.

Where is everyone meeting before and after for the game. Is there an away fans pub in the area?

[Mortimer's Bear]

All of us on here will be willing them on come Friday, it's what we do and it's not something you can switch on and off.

Yes we moan, yes we declare we hate them (I stated last night quite categorically that I'm finished with them), but ultimately come match day we'll all be rooting for the claret and blue.

Sums it up perfectly for me.

My main prediction is that Millwall's corner count will be spookily similar to their goals count.

Yes, Watford.

[Zakk Fatt]

You can never want the boys to lose a game, it just isn't right but if we win or lose this one it doesn't matter one bit.

The real game is back at the Park next Tuesday.

Has anyone ever tried, for 5 minutes to support a different team. It is physically impossible. I don't know how people do it. I get about 15 seconds in before thinking about the Villa again!

Anyhow...

Friday.

Guzan in nets, no fecking about with the line hogger

Lichaj - Lowton needs a rest
Dunne - 90 minutes before Newcastle would be useful
Vlaar - Needs fitness too
Clark - run out at left back as an experiment.

Holman - right mid, giving width.
Westwood - Should be fresh
Johnson - Delph is carrying a knock, and Bannan is at best shiny gold shite at the moment
Bennett - the kid is a left winger in the making, best crosser at the club and can beat a man

Bent - 90 minutes will do him good
Weimann - For obvious reasons - he scores goals and is a good player


Benteke, Gabby, Delph, Lowton, NZogbia, Given, Williams on the bench, but hopefully sparsely used. Win would be nice, but getting the others to Newcastle rested more important for me.

Somewhere in Slough perhaps?


After all they don't like you feeding the animals in the zoo

I'll be approaching the game from the south of London (Streatham). So anyone passing through East Dulwich I'll be with a mate in the pub opposite the station. Then a couple of stops to South Bermondsey about 7pm.
