Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa first 11 fans into the ground Pre-Match Thread

This is Bruce's best chance to try anything new, or to experiment with ways of bringing Hogan into the game. If we lose he'll never have a softer and more sympathetic response.

If we win he'll get dog's abuse!

ISn't RHM still injured. If Green isn't get him on the left and partner Gabby with Hogan. Hourihane and Lansbury in the middle and Grealish playing in the 10 role (as i like to call them). Why not try it? But just as a back up the back 4 should be Bedeau - Elphick - Richards - Amavi.

I don't know what you're all going on about, no need for old players / kids / stewards / forum members etc. Just rest Kodjia and Chester and keep Hogan isolated and the rest can be as you were. A thumping 3-0 defeat piling pressure on the noses and their charming new manager.

Am I the only person wanting us to win? ..maybe I am but 'm going and don't especially wish to see another abject away day.

If it turns out that most of a massive 8000 following want us to lose, then we really are  in danger of becoming as self obsessed with Blues as they have been with us for so many years.

[Brend'Watkins]

I want us to win but should we lose it wont ruin my weekend like it normally does when that happens. Win it and win next weekend and in style is what I would like.

Nobody's saying that...just that a defeat won't feel as bad as it normally does.

I just think it's funny that they're (Blues) sweating on us not turning up, and many of us are treating the game so lightly.  That in itself is worth travelling up there.

You're right Des,  it must be churning them up inside knowing that they need us to win.
But, their mentality would be they'd rather go down than want us to win.
Like you I find this really funny.

[Matt C]

Jedinak out - don't we've won a game without him have we?

[oldtimernow]

If we can't win 4-0 then wouldn't be too upset with a 1-0 defeat

[DB]

What's the Villa allocation for this?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Something silly like 8000.

Actually, make that 6923
