KEA, Delph and Gabby expected to be fit which improves things.

Losing to the likes of CP is something beyond consideration. But I've said similar many times before! C'mon Villa!

Good news. In particular KEA's pressing has been missed.

Yes it has.

I fancy a draw or a win. We might also lose. I am confident that one of these will bring right. Actually, predicting Villa scores is tougher than winning the lottery these days.

I think I'm just gonna hide under the bed and pray for 90 minutes on Saturday.

I've got friends over this weekend so chances of me watching are slim. I think I'll just avoid it altogether and pop on to the post match thread hoping the first post is anything positive and possibly includes "job done" or "well deserved win" in the opening sentence.

Same. I dont have it in me for another heartbreak. I have a lot of respect for the fans who are making the trip or watching it live though. Hope you are rewarded.

Yes, very much so well said. It's a significant sacrifice following the club so those boys and girls deserve a good weekend.

Unfortunately I think our best chance is to be complicit with palace in spoiling this game and trying to get a 0-0 or 1-0. I wonder if he'll go to a 532. Our defence has been so bad recently he might opt for strength in numbers

Just remember to start praying at 3:07 or Palace will get an 83rd minute winner.

I am going to the game and so am hoping for a win more than ever. However, I'd be lying if I didn't admit to the possibility of a real tonking. They are bang on form at the moment and we are exactly the opposite. It isn't difficult, though very painful, to imagine a 3-0 scoreline in their favour

[Clampy]

I've been giving the team some thought and here's how i'd go.

                 Guzan

Lowton  Vlaar  Baker Bertrand

    KEA    Westwood    Delph

Albrighton      Holt      Gabby
