Aston Villa Vs. Bitter Birds part deux 7th March Pre-match thread

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I hope we're a bit better at defending their set-pieces and making a lot more of our own...two areas where we can improve without too much effort!

[clash city rocker]

Don't think it will help us at set pieces if gabby is marking Les cott again. Apart from pulling his shirt Gabby got nowhere near him for their goal.

So you'd drop Lowton for someone who plays for Doncaster? And drop Delph? And Clark?

I think he will rotate and rest a few legs for Sunderland.

Why, when we aint playing them for a week?

[villan from luton]

Set pieces were the only chances they created, they had a free header early in the second half when Dawson? should have done better than head over the bar

I'm getting nervous already.

I'm not, I'm really looking forward to it.  Tuesday night was the one to be nervous about and after what I saw we haven't really got anything to fear.

It takes more than a week to recover from a rotated leg.

Yep. Our players are getting their self-belief back. We know they can do it, we've witnessed it, they just need to keep trusting themselves. Glory awaits.

Same. I'll be pissed off if we lose, but of the two games, Tuesday was of greater importance - in my opinion of course

I should imagine Jonas Olsson will come in for them to provide a physical presence a la Stoke. I havent got a clue who Sherwood will pick just as I hadn't got a clue who Lambert would pick. Pullis suggested he may field a weakened team last night, but then again he might not.

I agree. This is like a free hit. Pressure should be off for this one. And confidence higher.

Yeah right, in the same way their two strikers were "injured".

[cheltenhamlion]

Tomorrow is a free hit but let's help the players along. There has been plenty on social media this week about bringing, banners, balloons, scarves etc.

Crank up the noise and colour and see if we can get a Grayson like start.
