4-1 to us. Kodjia hat trick.

After a crap week at work with problem after problem, it would be great (just for once!) to enjoy a fantastic performance and victory from the Villa today. I am going to the next two away games, so picking up confidence from today will be vital. Both Barnsley and Preston will certainly up there game against us. Just about to set off, leaving plenty of time for the M5 to do it's worst!

Dorset Villa

I love the fact that you're travelling all that way, when you could easily watch at home or pop down the local

I hope you have a great day Dorset

The wind is going to be a major factor, gusting from the South at over 30mph according to the Met Office.

Oh great, they'll probably hold that against us for the next 7 years too.

Don't think Jack will be anywhere near  VP today. I hope McCormack plays a lot depends on him
Could be a 2-2 draw.

Aside from Grealish, any injury updates on Baker and Tshibola ?

[curiousorange]

Despite the recent hype around these games, they're usually pretty close. But if we could win this, it would get the season started again, I think.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

If McCormack is out, this would be a great opportunity to play Grealish in that position. I think he could do very well there.

Just a reminder to support the #clapforjack campaign on the seventh minute.

So today was a lie in for you then mate. I usually have a drink with a bloke who travels from Berkshire. Fair play to people like you who make such a big effort to support the Villa. I can see the Villa ground from where I live but apart from that you wouldn't want to live round here! I'm going for a 3-1 to the Villa. Dedicated to you guys who make such an effort and to "Jack" who's minutes applause today will be a real choker. UTV

As it's my birthday I see nothing but a Villa win and an upturn in our fortunes. Please please please!

On the train.  If I get thrown off it like last time Hopadop or Ads or Richard or all three will be retained to sue Virgin.

What's their take on our recent rivalry? I met a Really decent Newcastle fan in Harrogate a few months back and he wasn't even aware of it.

Neither are they.
