Always seem to be entertaining games against them at VP.

Last 3 I think have been 2-2 (comical Warnock OG), 3-2 win and 3-3 (Benteke hat-trick).

Will be goals for tomorrow night certainly. After what I've said on another thread I wouldn't be against us going 1 down. And then coming storming back with three second half Kodjia goals to win 3-1.

Would be nice to put the half-arsed manager who used to be famous in his place, but their form is pretty good at the minute so I'm going for a draw.

I'm more worried about getting home after the game - looks like the M6 north is due to be closed again at Junction 7, so to get to the M5 I may have to go via the Soho Road. Bandit country.

I'm going for another 2-0 win.

[maigrait]

i'm working that night, so when i'm distracted and not paying attention on the match we normally win.... fingers crossed that continues. 2-0 to the good guys.

5 wins at home in a row? Potentially 5 home clean sheets in a row? Must be dreaming, I fear the worst. Heart says 1-0 Villa.

Why is it?

Stay home if you are so worried about it.

2-1
Lionel Martin & Brian Godfrey for us. Probably Rodney Marsh for them.

Ah thanks for that, hadn't occurred to me

Suppose it depends on Hogan's fitness, but I would go back to the 4-3-3 formation tomorrow with the following team:

                      Johnstone

Hutton      Chester      Baker     Taylor

                       Jedinak

           Lansbury        Hourihane

Adomah            Kodjia               Amavi

                             Grealish
           
              Kodjia 

I would like to see this   


*Is Lansbury suspended for his booking on Sat - or have we reached the amnesty?

I go Aston Lane, Wellington Road, Church Lane and Oxhill Road to get back to the A41 & then M5 at Jct 1

M5 Southbound will probably be shut as well from the M42 to Worcester

Stress not - we have gone past the amnesty date.

3-1 Villa win

My only concern with that formation would be Johnstone being beaten too easily by not standing in his goal.
