My Mrs got given a free Villa shirt for me by Macron as she's doing some work for them hopefully that is a sign.  1-0.

At a time when everyone appears to be writing us off this is the day when not just the players need to turn up and be counted we fans do too.
Drag everyone down to B6 and get behind the team . Look at the atmosphere generated at the Leicester ground last year and carried into this-
we need a Tranmere semi support  / Sunderland Monday night support from now until the end of the season and we might just surprise a few people
including ourselves.
3-1 Or 6- 1 to us depending on the atmosphere.
Keep the faith, UTV !

Manager Rémi Garde faced the press ahead of the home game against Watford.

Find his pre-match thoughts below.

On the job being more difficult now than when he arrived…

I was not a dreamer.

Now I am within the club - and it is my responsibility to find some solutions quickly because we need them.

On expectations this weekend…

I know that everyone expects us to win the game - and I'm the first one and the players also.

But I am not expecting to have an easy game because if you look at the Watford results until now, they have done very well.

It shows you how good they are.

I think they are still in a positive mood since they have been promoted to the Premier League.

On picking up three points…

We want to, of course, win this game.

We are going to try and do it in the way we want.

But we will also accept a victory in the last minute, no problem with that.

The first minutes will be important for everyone but the result at the end will be more important.

On the application of his players this weekend…

We are very well prepared for this huge game.

Everyone has been training all-together throughout the week.

I appreciate having all my squad for the training sessions.

We have been working hard. I am still very pleased with the way we train, the way they are committed in the training sessions.

I know it's quite new in terms of the way we train and the exercises we are doing in the sessions because every manager has his own way of training.

They have settled in very well in terms of what I have been asking of them.

On the transfer window…

I will see what is possible to do.

There are games to play before the opening of the window.

My responsibility is to do as well as I can do with the players we have currently.

If I am speaking too much about what could happen in the next moment, this is not good for them or for me.

Let's be focused on what we can do now with the players we have.

On Jack Grealish…

Jack is training with the U21 team for the moment.

He won't be included in the squad against Watford.

This could be the long awaited turning point. Being a sometimes illogically optimistic villa fan I'm gonna say this is the game we will look back and laugh at when we're sitting pretty in the league.
Villa 3 Watford 1.

Even if our situation improves,  I can't see us 'sitting pretty in the league' but I seriously hope I'm wrong.
Not necessarily this season but I believe we will get there

Going to be tough, they have a striker in Ighalo in top form. Joint 2nd top Prem scorer with 7 goals, nearly as many as we've scored all season!

1 - 1

I've no idea where you think five goals are going to come from? I can barely see us getting one in any game

We might see Senderos back for this one Clark moving to left back.

Absolutely no chance, unfortunately.

If we do play Senderos on Saturday it would show that we've already given up and just want to be relegated as soon as possible.

Can Senderos play because we've loaned out Baker and Bennett or were they not in the twenty-five either?
