Aston Villa vs Southampton match thread

On paper, Villa will do well to avoid a right twatting. Although, maybe it might at least get Lambert the long overdue shove.

Let's hope there is one before the morning light.

Personally, I'd rather we won.

[Ian.]

Come on Villa, 3 points and some attacking intent please. Let's get our season back on track!

That Mane is a good player.

[Rigadon]

That Mane is a good player.

Especially when his galloping down the wing.

[Goldie.7]

What we need, is a hero.

I'm holding out for one.

[Ron Manager]

Get your prayer mats out. Batten down the Hatches and any other phrase that might help!

Not looking forward to this one but Villa for once just give us all a decent cheer come 10pm.

I wonder if Long has thought about facing Hutton again?

[PaulWinch again]

Play well and attack for once please Villa.

....every now and then I fall apart.
Oops wrong song.

Okore finally, that's made me happy! Shame Grealish isn't playing though.

I'm afraid, very afraid. Okore looked dreadful when he did play in pre-season.
I would love to be wrong.

Did he? I must have been watching different matches then. I thought he was very good.

I thought he looked excellent and I only missed the ones abroad

From the very limited times he has played, I remain unconvinced, he wasn't what I would call excellent if I'm honest
But we all see things differently, I hope your reading of him is correct and I am wrong with my initial thoughts

[UK Redsox]

Great to see the parade of old players but Woodward's intros were cringeworthy

[Marton]

First we play the Top 5 from last season, then we play the surprise teams of THIS year (West Ham & Southhampton), then the injuries and bans...someone up there must really dislike Villa this year!
