Bristol City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

We will win 2-0.

I can't recall the last time I predicted a Villa win but going for Them 1 Us 2 (McCormack and Ayew)

I'm hoping for something like this. We score, they equalise. It looks like it's drifting towards a draw, and then someone like McCormack/Ayew pulls something out of the bag.

Much stronger looking side

This is a winnable game but also one where we could easily slip up   Take A point now but hoping for 3

Is  ba-boom-Tish back for this one or is he still injured ?

[Havencheese]

With the two most recent signings, I feel a little more confident going in than say Rotherham.

Really hope we just go out and fucking stuff Bristol City, I know it's not that simple with a new team gelling but those shots off the woodwork all finally going in, isn't it about time we had one of those days where it clicks?


0-1 og off their central defender's arse at the death from a Westwood corner.

We need to make sure we don't patronise clubs like this or be over confident.

Bumpkins 0 Villa 7.

Smile. Clever, PWS.

Defeat 4-0, panic stations, sack the manager the new owners needs to stop tweeting. See what Villa has done to me over the years, I am one miserable old bastard.

That team looks half decent and with the possibility of two more acquisitions I'd be disappointed if we couldn't mount a title challenge.

Scrappy 1-0 win will do me!

[Risso]

We have to start winning games like this.  A creditable draw will start to see us marooned in the mid table region and we can't afford for that to happen, however early in the season it is.

0-2 The mighty Villa!

To me the only part that needs change is up front (hence Messi).  Apart from that, I think there's a genuinely top quality side there.

1-0 away win. McCormack with the goal
