Aston Villa v Hull City Pre-Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

0-1 Hull. Sorry but we are appaling at home, Hull were safe at the end of last season and looking towards the FA Cup Final,   I cannot see Lambert's "tactics" being any different than usual and enough to break them down. More misery and another wretched home display. I hope I am wrong but I think its going to get worse before it gets better.

0-3. Wilberforce, Larkin, Prescott.

Change that to 1-2. William Wilberforce lived in that house in Rookery Park for a year or two.

Deano's Mullet has said it all for me. Us 0 Them 1

[Pete3206]

0-0

[CJ]

Really can't see where our goals are coming from given we could only muster one shot on target against the mighty Leyton Orient, and none against Newcastle. On that basis I'd be happy with nil-nil but fear we'll lose 1-0

Us 2 Them 1

If ever a match had the potential to be -1 v -1, it's this one.

Not sure how that would happen though.

Paul Lambert
Paul Lambert claimed on Monday that the "feel-good factor" had returned to Villa Park this season after Aston Villa had taken four points from their opening two games, and his side will have gained 18% of their total tally from last season should they beat Hull on Saturday.
 
Whilst fans will be undoubtedly be boosted by their mini unbeaten league record, it would only be right to offer the other side of this particular coin. On Tuesday, Villa lost at home to League One Leyton Orient and registered one shot on target in the entire match. Four days previously they faced Newcastle, and failed to have a single effort on goal in the match, drawing 0-0. On the opening day they beat Stoke 1-0, again with their only shot on goal. Two shots on target in 270 minutes, and one goal.
 
It might sound churlish to say, but supporters' biggest concern over Lambert is the tedious dross served up for supporters, particularly at home. Perhaps beggars cannot be choosers, but if Villa could win whilst also offering a modicum of excitement to those watching, a "feel-good factor" may indeed return.

Good summary. Did he really say that about the "feel-good factor" returning after a 0-0 vs Newcastle?

Is it on TV ?

Yes - last on MOTD2 for 2 seconds.

I think he'd better get 'Down to the Doctors.'
