Cardiff City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

Vlaar and Bertrand looking doubtful, Baker & Clark pairing means they'll score at least 1.

I would love to see Gabby and Albrighton from any re-starts at the back, pushed as wide and as high onto Fabio and John as they can possibly be. Both are woeful full backs and we can really wrestle the midfield, in my opinion at least, by forcing Cardiff to have their widemen drop into help them out.

Man United did the exact same thing to us, with Rooney dropping deep into the space their position had created between defence and midfield. Wiemann will more than likely start and I would have him busying himself centrally in that space.

They're a piss poor side, ripe for the plucking, as long as we're brave enough and critically, smart enough, about the way we go about our business.

I think we'll get something from this, at least a draw anyway. Gabby will be massive for us.

If Vlaar and Betrand are out, that eliminates pretty much any competant defenders we have as Clark is hopeless without Vlaar.

1-1 Draw for me with Benteke scoring.

1-0 to us.

Ian Olney to bag the winner

Loads if you go on other club's forums just before they play us, I'd imagine!

Especially if they are playing us at Villa Park.

Which team is he talking about?

[ASHTONVILLA]

We are better away from home, think we will win this game 2-0 - Benteke and Gabby with the goals.

It never takes long for our new players to get crocked, does it?

[Des Little]

Fuck me.  A back four of Bennett, Clark, Baker and Lowton.  God help us.
