Brentford v Villa Match Thread

[dave shelley]

How many Villa there tonight?

1,660 I think I've read.

[Toronto Villa]

Bloody glory hunter Mr Shin. New signings and all of a sudden he's starting the match thread. Where were you when we were shit?

[PaulWinch again]

Win please Villa.

[Ormy Droid]

How many Villa there tonight?

18 plus the management team and backroom staff.

One Aston Villa, there's only one Aston Villa

Very, very excited about tonight.
The future starts here.

[Somniloquism]

Very very intrigued in seeing energy and technical ability in the centre.

The only question is that is a lot of midfielders to throw in together who don't know the style of play and strengths and weaknesses of each other. It could be disastrous. Afterall we have seen for the last 5 years what happens in midfield in those circumstances

[KevinGage]

Good line-up. 

Please McGrath no long term injuries to the new lads.  Or the old lads, for that matter.

[Dazvillain]

Attack! Attack!! ATTACK!!!!!

Rolling back the years to Downing Milner and Young ??!!

[chrisw1]

Kodjia back - bloody love it.  Would like to have seen Grealish start, but Green deserves his chance.

[Mister E]

Where is Jedi? - injured?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Where is Jedi? - injured?

Correct. Might be fit for weekend.

[Risso]

Where is Jedi? - injured?

Yes, not quite recovered. Westwood must be the same. Hahahahaaaaaaha!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Pretty much the lineup I would have gone for. Hoping Bjarnason can play as a central midfielder who can cover the defence a bit, don't know a lot about him.

[Malandro]

Very, very excited about tonight.
The future starts here.

Me too, very exciting evening.

I haven't felt this positive since we had a transfer window and we signed i think Collins and Dunne and transfer deadline day - vague memories so that's bound to be wrong. Away at West ham next game. Lost 4-0. Harewood hat-trick.
