Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

[Monty]

Chamkakh is out apparently. Cameron Jerome up front apparently.

You know what that means.

Bound to score

Might need to play Bowery at centre-back to counter the threat.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I've already predicted a 3-1 win but I'm feeling even more confident now and I'll go for a 5-1 Villa win. I can't believe the level of negativity on here, we're talking about Palace, the worst team in the league. If we can't beat them today we may as well close up. We may be a crap footballing side but today we'll shine.

[Mortimer's Bear]

I feel sick, today is absolutely massive.

[Summers]

Today is massive. For the club and Lambert. He wont get sacked or anything, but I know if we have another poor performance and result I personally wont be happy with him - and I can imagine a lot of fans feel the same.

Some of his decisions have been baffling recently, and haven't helped at all with the unrest at our current football and recent transfer dealings.

I think we'll scrape this one 2-1. It won't be pretty but the 3 points today are an absolute must.

If we don't get them then it could be freefall.
