Makes it tricky as I don't really like Clark or Baker playing at left-back and would rather we played Lowton and Bacuna at Full/Wing-Back.

On the other hand, I'd quite like Bacuna to play in attacking midfield or on the wing...

Not going tomorrow but my eldest son David is, he goes to about 6/7 league games a season and the poor bugger has not seen a win since the Scottish managers first home game against Blackburn (over two years ago) I am praying Villa will make him and the rest of us happy, 2-0 Villa please please please.

Hate to say it but i fear it  will be another match at home under this manager where we fail to win .A hard earned 1-1 draw

I wonder how many minutes will be on the clock before we lose a defender through injury

Even before I set off tomorrow I know that the highlight of the day will be the after match balti !!!
Hoping for a decent win but just looking at our squad leaves me underwhelmed. Odds on that Whittingham will have a stormer.

I had a season ticket last year and this. I've missed a handful of games in that time but realised  this week I haven't seen us win a league game since Reading which must be nearly 12 months ago. Could do with some cheer tomorrow.

That happened to me!  one win later though as I saw us beat Wigan a few weeks later.
Then I missed us beating Norwich and Fulham. So the next time I saw us win at home was
West Ham the following season! and I'd been to something like 8/9 games in between.
Including that Bolton game.

I basically didn't see us win a home game in 2012.  (Fulham, Reading and Swansea.)

This year though I've seen us win five times! Ipswich, West Ham, QPR, Sunderland, and Man city.
I'll be a little sad when 2013 ends.  ;)

I'm selling outside the Trinity Road gates tomorrow. Please feel free to come along and say hello. Even if you don't need to buy the fanzine as I'll have a Movember collection tin and would really appreciate ANY small change you might have in the region of 1p, 2p and/or even 5p!
