Villa v Leeds pre-match thread

[Skerra]

For this one, I would go:-

                                                                                                            Bunn

                          Hutton                            Chester                                                          Baker                 Amavi

                       
                          Adomah                           Bacuna                                                           Jedinak              Grealish


                                                                                     Kodjia                            McCormack

Subs: Gollini, Ayew,  Gardner, Elphick, Westwood or Gabby

We really need to win this one so we can really make strides towards that top 6

Bunn out on the right makes us look a bit exposed between the sticks, unless Hutton is playing rushback !

[Skerra]

Bunn likes coming in from the right to make his saves!!!

[jcsutv]

There's a good spine to that team.

[Matt Collins]

I think Tim Sherwood did play that formation once

[Skerra]

Oh dear Matt, we stand no chance with my line up then!!

[Mister E]

Jus thad some bantz with a Leeds fan inthe pub (Chris Jameson: the pub was 10 Devonshire Place, High Harrogate) and am again convinced that they are completely deluded.
we'll win.

That's my local!

You didn't step in to repress the deluded f*c*er! :-)
I had a heated - and in the main, good-natured - discussion which reinforced the fact that many Leeds fans are living in the past to a worse extent than we are!

Grealish played as a winger is a waste and he's not actually very good out wide.

Never heard any football talk in there, love it in there but wish they'd stop changing the beers what seems like every other day. I find one I really like and next time I go in they no longer have it.

Going to be tough with the way we are playing. I'll say 1-1.

That afternoon they won at Bournemouth and their shithouse fans travelled the breadth of southern England picking fights with strangers.

Living in Bournemouth I remember it well. Went out into town with a few mates for a night out...decided to head home 20 minutes later. It was carnage, they absolutely destroyed the town. Summer Bank Holiday I think it was...

I was living in Oxford at the time, dozens of them came on the train to beat up random undergraduates. My friend, a weedy maths student, was ambushed coming out of a bathroom in his hall of residence. He was wearing glasses and a towel round his middle.

To be fair that doesn't sound like Leeds fans...

I witnessed a similar assault on the aesthetes at the Hammersmith Apollo in the mid 80's where followers of the surly and cantankerous Leeds ne'erdowells Red Lorry Yellow Lorry attacked members of The Bolshoi contingent just because they were executing exquisite ballet movements in the mosh pit.

Went for a draw in the poll, but desperately hoping for a win. I hate Leeds and their scummy fans. They've got a good recent record and ours isn't too bad, so called a draw.

Love it if we ftf though. Come on Villa!!

We're disjointed at the moment. But this lot aren't Barcelona. The fact that them and Sheffield Wednesday are in the top 6 shows it's a pretty poor league.

He's bound to change the shape. I imagine it'll be closer to how he was previously setting us up at home. I think Westwood,  Grealish and Ayew will all start.

[Dave P]

I've said all season that I think the play offs are beyond us. Results like the ones we had at Leeds and Norwich will happen at frequent intervals to keep us below 6th.

That said, a win tonight and I may have to admit it could be possible.
