Hull City v Aston Villa Pre-match thread

[Tom_Mc9?]

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

I'd be concerned about that stat if Hull were a team like Barcelona. However, in their history they've probably managed to achieve the heights of equaling an average Sunderland season.

1-1.

9 games without a league win and i think we will have to wait a little while longer until we know that wonderful feeling that a win gives but I do feel we will come home with a point 1-1, we continue our snail like crawl to safety.

I would like to say this is where you turn to your captain (our leader) to rally around the team and build up the killer instinct mentality. But it would be a total injustice to drop Clark. (was not his best fan) I actually would make him captain for this game. He has been a perfect example of how to focus on his own previous errors, get his head down in training and turn his game around. The rest of the squad will have watched this process first hand. And i am sure they look at him as an inspiration. Bring Benteke back in the starting line up and get Gil and Sinclair constantly pumping balls into him. 0-2 and a corner changing game ........

I'm either going to go for a very long walk in the dark or watch the radio from behind the settee through my fingers or go to the pub and have my first beer since New Years Eve.  Cor decide but I'm not looking forward to it one bit.

Nothing will be decided tomorrow unfortunately . We are all in for a bumpy couple of months .

I think we are just looking for a sign before other similar fixtures. And hopefully a positive one.

1-0 Hull. Gabby will be useless again, his goal attempts will be nil again and Lambert will say he was excellent again.

I would bring Vlaar in and go 3-5-2 with Gil playing behind Benteke and Sinclair, with Westwood and Delph sitting and Richardson wide left and Bacuna right wing back. Gives us some defensive solidity while also giving more options going forward. It would also catch Hull by surprise and be a way to get the leadership of Vlaar onto the field.

Spoiler for Hiden:

rumour has it there's a secret GTC for the FACup against Leicester with unlimited Brucie Bonus points! Ooooooh!

I think you still think we are a team capable of winning these so called games quite easy, facts are:

We are a very poorly managed side.
We have scores 6 goals in the last 19 away games.
We have had the fewest shots on target in the league.

If we do win later on, which I think we won't it'll be a smash and grab 0-1 at the most. I also wouldn't be surprised if we lost either.

[pooligan]

Just been reading our "clueless one" saying how he may well leave out Benteke out again tonight and play Gabby again . I had to read it a few times to make sure i read it right.He thinks we were excellent against Chelsea and that Gabby was also excellent against them.He caused so many problems with his running. Jesus no wonder we have only scored 12 goals all season when our manager comes out with  such utter garbage.

He says Benteke  is not scoring but makes no mention that Gabby has scored just once in his last 17 games. The more i hear this deluded idiot speak the more i despair

[Malandro]

Maybe drop Gil for N'zogbia too Paul?

[manic-road]

Win 1-2 well fingers crossed anyway.

[pbavfckuwait]

Win and QPR, Leicester lose we will really put some much needed daylight between us and the bottom three, can we win it yes, will we god only knows.
Their middle of the park needs to be nullified, stop fat boy Huddlestone and the other Spurs tosser we may have a chance, that's why I would drop Westwood,(would drop Cleverley but that aint gonna happen) and put Sanchez in, if he wants pace go for Gill and Sinclair and leave Gabby in Brum, with Benteke through the middle. lose and it is no wins in ten, and games start to run out for team with a clueless manager and no confidence.
Come on Villa get the job done, somehow.
