Aston Villa vs Ipswich Town Pre-Match Thread

In anticipation of the upcoming game i thought i'd start the pre-match thread a bit earlier in the week than its perhaps usually done. I'm coming up for this one, seen four wins from four visits so hopefully we'll resume our winning ways having not had a victory since Boxing Day. I think Hogan will be on fire in this one and can see Jedinak playing an anchor role letting Hourihane and Lansbury to get forward. Maybe Taylor to start at left back too? Either way I think we'll win 2-1 or 3-1. Kodjia and Hogan to kick off their partnership with a couple of goals.

I'm very much of the opinion that everything is shit at the moment (As you can probably tell from my posts) but I think we'll get enough balls forward to Kodjia and Hogan to probably win this one.

3-1 Villa. Our luck has to change!

[preston28]

1-0 Villa with Hogan getting his first Villa goal.

I think someone is due a good hiding from the Villa. I'll go 4-1 with 2 each for Kodja & Hogan. Hopefully you can bring some luck with you. Are Ipswich your nearest team? If so that result would be even better 👍

League wise its Crawley Town! Brighton to the south and Palace to the north too.

Aaargh!  WHY do people trot this out?!  It's meaningless, nobody is "due" a good hiding, because we haven't been playing well enough to inflict one!  Sorry, but it's one of those sayings that really annoys me.

[Legion]

0-2.

[Uknowthescore]

Think Bruce needs to go back to basics with a good old 4-4-2

Johnston
Bree
Baker
Chester
Amavi
Adomah
Hourihane
Lansbury
Green/bacuna
Hogan
Kodjia

Can't bring myself to yet believe that the 'curse' has been lifted.

More misery and managerial incompetence. Not necessarily a defeat but maybe a lead surrendered due to clumsiness or stupidity.

Haven't got too much of a problem with that if he does. We created chances off the back off it. Not sticking them away cost us on Saturday eventually.

Ok I'd like us to give somebody a good hiding. I think we might have a squad capable of doing this. I'm hoping it's going to be soon.
