I am back to full bore arrogance mode now. We will just brush Venky's boys aside.

[Deano's Mullet]

2-1 win, Kodjia and Bacuna (if he plays).

[LukeJames]

2-0, Kodjia twice.

[Witton Warrior]

Win win win

First match for my footie-mad 9 year old niece who is being tainted by living in Dingle-land so need excitement please for the full conversion - a new Holte Ender in the making

[Goldie.7]

Ayew is suspended.

The guy hasn't really been doing it for me so far this season. He picks up the most dumbest yellow cards because of his sulky attitude.

Remember when we were good and seemed to play these chicken rustlers every other week?

[QuintonVilla]

3-0

[Ron Manager]

A 2-0 win which may be harder than we think. Hopefully Bacuna will be back to compliment Jedinak in the middle.

[ADVILLAFAN]

They seem to have picked up a bit lately, as have we. Hoping for a win, although I think it will be a narrow one.

Could be another situation like having Richards and Elphick out that helps us solve the situation with our team selection, we might just play better as a more functioning team without Ayew, just an inkling, let's see how it plays out. Think we will win 2/3 - 1.

I think the next step in our revolution needs to be winning by 2 clear goals. I dont think im being greedy but we would be alot healthier points wise if we had grabbed a second goal when on top and killed off games.

Go one nil up, increase the pressure, be clinical in front of goal, score 1/2 more. kill the game with niggly fouls, injuries, taking ages on throw ins/ goal kicks.

Really isnt that hard Villa and I would hope Blackburn at home would be a good opportunity to try it

[LukeJames]

A 2-0 win which may be harder than we think. Hopefully Bacuna will be back to compliment Jedinak in the middle.

Telling Jedinak how nice his beard is during games may finally solve our midfield problem.

When's Mad Tommy due back ?

Hopefully he won't go straight back into the team.
