Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion Pre-Match Thread

[Goldie.7]

Draw or 1-2 them.

That's more like it.

Obviously i want us to win but the pressure is all on us. Losing Gabby is a massive blow and it changes the whole outlook on the game for me.

[TheSandman]

2-1 us.

I've got my ticket, and I am making the 300 mile journey down. We've lost the other times I've come down so far this season so I'm hoping this run will change.

Is Gabby out then? Lambert didnt mention it in his news conference. I thought he was still awaiting a late fitness test?

[Deano's Mullet]

Draw. 1-1 or 2-2 with one of their centre backs scrambling a 90th min equaliser.

[Hillbilly]

10-0 Kill them. Kill them all.

[Matt Collins]

Gabby isn't definitely out but he hasn't been able to train since Liverpool so time is tuning out

[Richard E]

My Season Ticket will be staying unused in the drawer as I am subject to a three line whip to attend my wife's niece's 18th birthday party. This is therefore a nailed on easy home win. 4-0. 

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

1-0 down early doors, then 3-1 to us.

[paul_e]

2-0 to us, first goal very early from Benteke and then a 2nd midway through the 2nd half by Weimann on the break.

I have had a feeling for a couple of weeks now that we will thump them. A very dangerous sign!

[CJ]

Was surprised they let Shane Long go especially after they didn't renew the Lukaku loan. In theory goals for them should be hard to come by (famous last words) so I'm going 2-1 to us, or 3-1 if Gabby plays

Just seen that Anelka is '99%' likely to play at VP. Not usually a fan of the method in general - but could we boo the c*** every time the ball goes within a five yard radius of him?

I'm not sure it's a good idea. Only because Anelka's one of those players who might let it spur him on to put some effort in and raise his game. If he does that, he's a good player and might hurt us. Personally I'd ignore the fecker and hope he coasts through the game as he has done most of his time at WBA.

[levico]

Pretty good at Anfield but now we're at home and back to reality.

Maybe a struggling draw but always the chance that WBA will be more up for it than us.

[danlanza]

3-0 to us.
