Difficult to see how we're going to get anything with 45 hours 45 minutes recovery time.

That and Fulham also being better than us despite barely crossing the halfway line at VP.

Let's be optimistic and say a bit of rotation with much needed starts for Micah and Gabby and we should be good for a 3-0 defeat!

4-1 to them. I'm only going for a piss up and a party in that brilliant away end.

Recovery from what? By all accounts we didn't actually play yesterday.

Struggling to come up with a line up that on paper looks any better than yesterday.

Green's been poor when I've seen him play, Jack's a Churchill quote at the best of times and can't see how Hogan & Kod can both play without sacrificing the width needed to get the ball to them

Assuming that the Welsh Roberto Carlos is still injured, I expect to see the same team apart from maybe Jack in for Bacuna

Comfortable home win

Fulham ? Lovely club. So welcoming and a nice warm feeling when you go there. Johnny Haynes, Jimmy Hill, Alec Stock. FTF, lets smash them 3-0. It's a far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Isn't it? Mmmmm. Marvellous.

My brother lives in Fulham and has a season ticket - but lifelong Villa fan. I want us to put on a decent performance but I like Fulham and want hem to get into the play offs.

Looking forward to a good piss up, great ground to go to. Not sure with the comment about Green being poor by the way

If we looked slow and pedestrian yesterday, I can only see us looking more so tomorrow.

3-1

No chance of winning this one, we seriously need a summer of thinking about how we go about setting up the team to score goals and control games.

Has Bruce any original thinking and motivational skills to turn the load of rubbish on show yesterday into an improved performance?
