Southampton vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[AVH87]

I wouldn't normally be concerning myself over Clark being out. But with Richards doubtful, Llori and Crespo injured and Okore not match fit it is an issue to be honest.

Thanks for clearing it up PWS/In Exile, I'd just checked his stats in the league so missed the one he clocked up in the league cup.

How the f..k are all these players injured - they haven't played hardly at all this season!!

[gregavfc69/70]

Agreed Skerra. There's far too many crocks and the injury prone in this squad !
Why were they ever brought to the club in the first place?
This means there's no competition for places - too many failures in the first team getting away with it and not being dropped.
AND being paid £20,000 to £40,000 per week!
Not just obscene but very, very worrying and alarming. We need a massive clear out, contracts paid off and FREE TRANSFERS
given - and that includes you deadbeat GABBY !!

According to Garde at this mornings press conference only two are out,Illori not fully fit yet,Crespo not available for selection .

No mention of Richards or Clark.

Clark is suspended for not taking the penalty release clause.

It's another measure of how low we've sunk.

Did illori have a leg off or something?
It's taking him a bloody long time to get fit.

[preston28]

3-0 defeat.

[footyskillz]

One thing can say I'm encouraged by Southampton heavy defeat to liverpool and ponderous defence. It's a case of two up front and pace in the sides. Agbonlahor, ayew Sinclair ,nzogbia all worth playing.

Guzan
Bacuna Richards Okore Lescott
Nzogbia sancez veretout Sinclair
Agbonlahor Ayew

i will give you one million pounds if that is the starting line up lol

I'd rather have 3 points

[Skerra]

As I've mentioned before, as match day approaches, more & more vote that we are not going to lose the match. Highest all week at nearly 34% - please, let me have a bit of whatever you are taking.

[The Edge]

a bit off topic but as a season ticket holder, the last game I saw us win in the flesh was the semi final in April, 8 bloody months 

painful innit? 
Keep the faith mate. We'll be back cos we are The Villa!

A team off the back of a six goal humping does not react the following game and dole out a whacking of their own. This is the ideal team to be plaing; one whose confidence is as brittle as ours.

Score first and we win.

[Taylor]

Got a feeling we may win this. Voted for a loss though.
