Aston Villa vs Huddersfield Town Pre-Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

Same xi I reckon

Jedinak in at Derby. We'll need good passing from central midfield tomorrow

Wish we were on TV, going to be a very emotional night I would imagine, hope the highlights programmes do it justice as I wont be there.

just read a few things on one their forums. One guy said we want revenge for the 1920 FA cup final. I think it's good be reminded of the fantastic history of some of these clubs, and pay them respect. Only for one season though.

They'll come and sit deep and try and hit us on the break. Glad we've got Chester besides Elphick.

I think we'll need McCormack to play well and rely upon his guile and inventiveness to open them up.

First goal is massive for us still.

We won the Final in 1920. Do you mean "we" as in they said "we"? And weren't they the first club to win the League three times on the bounce? A feat repeated only once since, I think.

Respect where it's due.

unlike Rotherham, I believe Huddersfield have pedigree if somewhat ancient

that said,

fuck em

TeamVilla will whack them all day. Defence and attack are definitely good enough. Midfield is our key area just hope RDM can work it, that our weakness becomes our strength.

They already took their revenge by signing Clem Stephenson.

Looks like The Holte End will be full again. Great stuff

We're looking for revenge for our 1-0 defeat against Villa in the 1920 FA Cup Final tomorrow night. - strangely we beat both Brentford & Newcastle on our way to the Final. You never should have sold Clem Stephenson to us!!

Let it go, ffs. We've all moved on with our lives, you should too.

I've still not forgiven them for letting Herbert Chapman go to the original dodgy Chairman / Owner, Henry Norris at Arsenal

You think theres an element of seriousness about that???


I wouldn't of thought so, maybe chuckle

There's something pushing from the back of my mind and I'm too tired to check it but, IIRC back in the dark days, the season we were relegated to the third division and the Doc was manager, we played Huddersfield in a mid-week match when Huddersfield were riding high.  We beat them 4-1 I think.  I think it was the time we had Emmet Kepengwe and Freddie Mwilla.  The Doc, as I recall only ever played the same line-up twice that season whilst he was in charge and that was that Huddersfield game and the next one against Cardiff where normal service was resumed with a defeat.

I'm trying, I really am. One day at a time.

Uncle Frank played in the 1920 cup final.

Happy days in Aston!
