Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Match Thread

Sorry no idea why it is massive on the screen. Hopefully a Mod can adjust

Very attacking line up, think I would have stuck with the 3 traditional midfielders myself rather than Jack.

4 2 3 1 with Jack in the middle of the 3 I hope.

My concern too, bringing Jack on later in the game.

Team that finished at Brighton so no surprise really. Still think Bacuna would be an improvement on Hutton or Westwood.

It's Cardiff at home not Brighton away ! 2 in the middle is fine.

Come on you Villa.

Like that line up a lot, reckon Grealish could be the Cardifference between the two teams.

You still have to earn the right to play though no matter who it is, we already know the limitations of our two midfielders, we won the battle against Brighton and had their backs to the wall and were confident and in control, then went for the kill. Today is another battle to win from the start and I'm sure Colin Wanker will have his team fired up and ready as all his sides are. Just an inkling we are falling back in to the trap of earlier in the season, it might be a different outcome with us on a decent run and confident though.

Cardiff uncharged from the team that won at Huddersfield. If 2 in the middle is fine it will be a first.

Joe Bennett and Peter Whittingham back at Villa Park for them

[Bad English]

Ffyc y ffycin fuckers! Come on you Lions!

[Toronto Villa]

I'm interested to see if the confidence of our players and whether or not the belief is now truly there. That we can take the good work done against Brighton into this game and get 3 points. Today really will be 2 or 3 points dropped if we don't win.

[aj2k77]

It's time for a complete performance from us. Build up play, chances taken, solid at the back and in the middle and a comfortable win. We've probably had 1 of those in the last 18 months.

The debate above is exactly the one I couldn't reconcile. Very hard not to play grealish after his cameo at Brighton - it is Cardiff at home

But Westwood supporting Jedinak by himself is clearly the concern

I have a feeling this is going to be a tough game. I hate playing warnock teams

Really hope they motor from the off rather than grow into it as per previous home games
