Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

Would love to see young Jack start,but i dont think Lambert has the vision or guts to 'start with him. My guess is he will start with Cole and then when he is knackered will replace him with Richardson Another 0-0 bore draw.

I would go with the good old 4-4-2, dropping the useless N'Zogbia, Cleverley (if Westwood is fit) and Cyssoko.

Guzan
Hutton - Vlaar - Okorč - Clark
Bacuna - Sanchez - Westwood (Cleverley) - Grealish
Benteke - Agbonlahor

I think we could get done over here. The new manager bounce could be our undoing. On paper we have too much for them. But we are a disjointed team that might or might not click on the day.

Jedinak is a huge loss for them, head and shoulders their most influential player

What's wrong with him ? He played full game at QPR and wasn't booked either so can't be suspended ?

Off to play for the Aussies I think?

Ok thanks that's good news.
Some more good news , Lawro has gone for a palace win 1-2 .

[walsall villain]

We lose Chris Herd so that evens it up with Jedinak 😉

5-0, we have to give someone a good going over one day, hopefully this game.

Once the medication has worn off I will go for 0-0.

Yep, I'd go for this too, back line looks solid, good width from Bacuna and Grealish and with Gabby attacking the six yard line... He should get a least two tap ins from Grealish alone! 3-1 Villa, Gabby brace and Bacuna.

My fear is lambert will select -
----------Guzman-------------
Hutton vlaar Clark cissoko
N'Zogbia Richardson Sanchez cleverly
Gabby --------benteke ------

So Grealish will get 80 minutes then when Cole limps off looking knackered.

I'd like to see Jack start the next three games, but I also think he makes an effective sub as well.

Villa win 2-0

I usually get the train from Four Oaks to Aston, but looking at the return timetable I can't see any train between 4.43 and 6.13 back which seems bizarre (on Sunday v Sunderland there was a 5.13 and 5.43) - can anyone confirm this ?
