Aston Villa v QPR Pre-Match thread

[JD]

4-1 win, no problem.

I wish he had not made "man up" statement. It's about right team and tactics not words and heaping more pressure on our players.

[David_Nab]

Shit your pants time really.

A win would be huge but really can not lose this game.If we do lose then whilst its not all over we would deserve to go down as that would be us losing to QPR twice in the season.Infact our record against the bottom 3 is played 4 and 4 points which is pretty damning as it is.

I know we are not full of world beaters but I look at our squad and beggars belief we are so poor.

Need to start as we did against Sunderland and WBA fast attacking and direct.Be nice if Nzog can regain some form as he has dropped off the last 2 games.Personally I'd start Gil but seems Sherwood thinks with the players around him we are too lightweight already to accommodate him , whilst I don't fully agree with that after watching how lightweight Newcastle looked with likes of Cabella against Sunderland I can see his thinking.

Also think it's time Vlaar came and redeemed himself , infact with our fullback issues 3-5-2 might be the best way to go

No room for knickerwetters from here on in. This battle calls for balls.

Did you just make that word up?

[Legion]

Ooh! A new word for use at work.

[CJ]

No - it's from Gulliver's Travels/Land of the Giants!

Still confident of us winning this one despite their result at the weekend.  West Brom have taken their foot of the pendle a bit, but I with a lot of work still to do I don't think Sherwood would allow us to do that.  Also, its a night game and the atmosphere at VP should be pretty rockin' which normally helps us.  As long as we attack early, use our pace and go direct to the strikers then I think we should win.  I would start with Gabby and Benteke this time in a 4-4-2. Think he went with Weinmann on Saturday because he is better at defending.  But Gabby and Benteke are in decent form and this is the sort of fixture made for them.

2-0 Villa.  Gabby and Sinclair.

Oh, he might be I haven't got the latest team news.  If so I will change that second scorer to Bacuna lol.

The girlfriend just said I'm in a right grumpy mood

I need to man up myself

[Walmley_Villa]

Any sign of a dot of the orange variety?

[Legion]

It ran out of juice.

[mrastonvilla]

If we can perform anything like the recent albion league game we should win this.

Please turn up Villa.
