Hull City v Aston Villa Pre-match thread

[Stu]

I'd maybe -maybe- swap Westwood for Sanchez, but that is the nucleus of a decent side.

Plenty of pace, some leadership there, and there are goals in them. For whatever reason, the bloke who signed nearly the entire team doesn't know how to get it working properly.

Bad feeling about this one.

On the plus side we have the better players, on the negative side Hull have been scared into fighting back.

See for some reason I have a really good feeling about this. As much as we have been gash, there are teams below us. How on earth that is nobody will ever be able to explain. It's like we have made it too easy and they still didn't take full advantage. We won't go on like this forever and at some stage things will mysteriously click just as they have gone the other way so dramatically since Arsenal at home. There are too many good players in the side, and while the manager doesn't help matters, even he wouldn't mind seeing us score a few on Tuesday and moving forward. I think we will take our chances vs Hull and win the game.

I hope you are right!

[Tom_Mc9?]

We'll smash them.

Looking forward to this one.
I think!

Except for the massive coach journey, obviously!

[Goldie.7]

We'll score three goals and keep a clean sheet?

[Tom_Mc9?]

Yep. Hull are shit and I think we've been excellent all season.

[Goldie.7]

We've never scored three goals away there in the league before in our history and it isn't likely to happen tomorrow either.

[Legion]

Don't break it, Paul...

Although to be fair, we've only ever played them 11 times away from home in the league.

[Virgil Caine]

1-3 to the Villa,Hirons for them, Rudge, Greenhalgh and Broadbent for us. Half time entertainment provided by Hermans Hermits.

Don't break it, Paul...

It is time

Is it too dramatic to suggest that this is the most important game in our recent history?  Win it and kick on, we'll be ok, lose it and we are really, really looking over our shoulders?   I really can't call this one. We have been so very poor lately.

[mr underhill]

we've never managed to kick on under Lambert, sadly.

It's the most important game since the last one.

[Legion]

We've potentially turned a few corners then never managed to see it through. Flattered to deceive.
