I demand a win. Flying in from Tokyo for this and taking my wife to her first Villa match.

4-1 to us.

Have my worries about this one, teams that try and move the ball at pace attacking always seem to cause us trouble, hopefully Sheff Utd are still 3/4 first team regulars down and we can capitalise on their lack of squad depth & grind out a result.

Would love him to shake up the team a little, leave out one or both of his defensive wingers (or have them as wingers on the correct foot!), play Davis & Hogan up top with Jack in behind....obv he won’t change it but it’s wishful thinking

1-1 as we manage to scrape one back at the end of the first half after going 1 down after 10 minutes. A valiant effort as our goal is besieged for 48 minutes and we win a point.

Their form is rank and they're being found out now theyve lost a few first team regulars. They played boom or bust football anyway and its been bust of late.

I'd play 442 given their system.

1-0. Shit, cagey game. The goal to come from a set piece.

Unfortunately won't be attending (1st home game missed in a while). Hoping for a Villa win any which way we can get it to at least keep us in the play off positions. Come on Villa boys! UTV

Has to be a win.  If not, then Bruce is in for an uncomfortable christmas. 2-0
