We need to learn not to drop points from winning positions or where we look comfortable in games. Sunderland was the most one sided draw ever, and Leicester was a straightforward victory once we got to 2-0. A disciplined approach would have killed off the game. So that's 4 points we've blown and instead of 15th we would be sitting nicely in the top part f the table. I think we will win this game because Albion are just a bland park the bus side.

I'd like to see Veretout involved in this game in some capacity.
Perhaps to replace Gil when we're 2 up!

There's no guarantee that would worked or indeed stopped the mistake that led to them getting their first goal. In hindsight it's probably what he should have done off course.

What made you think that? Has a team ever had that fixture for 2 consecutive weeks...?

It's actually 5pts dropped in last 2 games. I'm sure TS and the players are as unhappy about that statistic as much as we are.

I bet Man U have. I'm glad it's not Sunday though given we'd only have a couple of days before Blose.

After the shonkiness of last Sunday, I feel we deserve a cathartic trouncing led by a pumped-up Adama Traore and Jack Grealish.

Do you know what? I am rarely confident ahead of games, particularly in recent years tackling the Pulis anti football, but I reckon the Leicester game will serve as a massive kick up the arse and we will marmalise them on Saturday.

4-1 Villa.

Anything but a win against Albion Nil would set the alarm bells ringing at deafening levels. I don't care by how much or how ugly. I want a win. As an aside, we've scored in every game except the one against Man U. We've only won once. What does that tell us?

After Sunday I don't believe anything good will ever happen again. Not that I'm over-dramatic or anything.
