Aston Villa vs Brentford Pre-Match Thread

[Axl Rose]

4-0.  A brace each for Westwood & Gardner.

This.

Think I only know one of their players; Judge.

Otherwise they are a bit of an unknown quantity.

Judge is currently out with a broken leg.

They are an inconsistent, young team who have tightened it up defensively this season while still playing good football. They have a good striker in Scott Hogan and don't really have any obvious weak links throughout the side.

[Legion]

2-0.

[cheltenhamlion]

Someone is in for an imminent battering from us. Might as well be them. 5 -1.

[l_mckay]

Surely a win. Hopefully Jedinak and tshibola Coke into midfield. 2-1 win.

[olaftab]

Can't see anything other than a thrashing for Bford even if they did twat Brighton.

[CT Villan]

Straight-forward Villa victory...2-0 and so the inevitable rise begins...

- music starts around 12 secs.

Ha! That's a blast from the past. I still know all the words but the intro took me by surprise which isn't strange considering I haven't heard it for over 40 years. It's one 7" in my box that stays there. Maybe/hopefully I'll dig it out again in May 2017.

[The Left Side]

3 points, however we get them but we just need that win to kick start us off.

[PeterWithesShin]

I saw Bromsgrove win 13-0 on Saturday, I expect to be watching Villa do the same.

[sirlordbaltimore]

I'll be happy with another good performance as long as it's a win

1-0

Marvellous. I've got that somewhere, as well!

[clash city rocker]

I just can't be optimistic about the result anymore.Villa have drained any optimism I once had over these last few years. Hope for a win but I'm afraid if I were to get it would be on a draw. FFS Villa please pleasantly surprised me.

[Goldie.7]

A close game but I think we'll snatch it either 2-1 or 3-2.

[Matt Collins]

Any win will do. Looks like good injury news - but I can't see us bringing all three into the midfield in one go

I'm really undecided who I'd play. I think there's a good case for gestede as a physical threat at home in these sort of games. He's done well in them this season so far.

Maybe as follows - but depends on training really which we can't be privy to

Gollini / bunn

De laet elphick Chester cissokho

Adomah Jedi / Tish westy ayew

Gestede kodjia

Subs: steer / bunn baker bacuna baker Tish / Jedi grealish McCormack
