Who can stop us now?

Easy Villa win

[LukeJames]

We need to go with the same approach from last night, energeric pressing, in their faces, 100% through out, everytime I've seen Leicester this season there work rate has been phenomenal so we need to match that, we should have comfortably beat them at whatever there stadium is called earlier in the season but for the strangest substition in the history of football and since then both teams haven't looked back, us for all the wrong reasons though.
Leicester fully deserve to be were they are for their no fear approach but with all due repspect there squad isn't much better than ours, they have two stand out players in Mahrez and Kante (I don't buy into the Vardy hype at all) but the rest are average, it shows how appauling we have been all season that they are 30 odd points ahead of us.
We need wins in our situation but I can't see us winning twice in 5 days so 1-1.

Normal service resumed?

Let's hope not, this is a massive game and well done to the fans at Wycombe for sticking a rocket up their arses. Touch paper lit, let's watch us fly!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Leicester aren't anywhere near as good as they're position suggests.

Hopefully the players will take confidence from last night and give it a real good go.

Let's just not let ourselves down.

I disagree, I think they've been superb and deserve to be were they are. We've got an extra day's rest and a hopefully some confidence instilled in us.

[Witton Warrior]

I have absolutely no idea which Villa team will turn up, if it is the one from last night then we may get something out of it but from what I have seen Leicester are very solid with three flair players and a decent system they have mastered. Tough game 1-1?

[avfcpg]

Leicester are decent, no doubt about that. Not expecting miracles, just hope we go in with the same energy and pressing.
Someone needs to follow Mahrez round the pitch and not give him a seconds peace. He is something we lack badly, someone who can change games and make it happen...like he did in the first game.
I just hope we go for it...

[TonyD]

No mercy.

[richtheholtender]

The 3-2 should be our team talk.

[Smirker]

2-1 Villa. Ayew and Gil to score.

Fuck the fuckers.

Hope we can turn in a repeat performance and aren't too knackered.

[sid1964]

The next 2 games will decide our fate (4 points from Leicester and the Albion games, will give us a chance), if we lose both then I cant see us having any chance of surviving.

Lets go for it, what have we got to lose!

2-1 Villa
