Brentford v Aston Villa: Pre Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

We’re out of the play offs with Shef U winning. We have to go for a win.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to win tonight, we're currently down to 8th now.

[Malandro]

Out of the playoffs, over the next month should be a  sackable offence.

Disgraceful stat:

The Villans have won one of their last 21 away matches on Boxing Day (D7 L13), a 2-0 win at Derby in 1999

[CT]

We’re out of the play offs with Shef U winning. We have to go for a win.

That should sting SB into overseeing a dynamic attacking performance tonight then.

LMFAO as the kids say

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Don't fancy our chances tonight.

Got a bad feeling about it.

Entering the new year around midtable should be the end of Bruce. If the chairman is the ''winner'' he claims to be then being in that position is wholly unacceptable.

I see these next 7 days as the death throws of Bruce, he will complain like mad after we lose to Boro about the unfairness of the fixture list and then he will be given his cards, the boring fat ******.

Amen to that. Dinosaur.

Let's hope the players see the table and it gees them up. It's up to them.

To an extent it is. It is also up the manager to give those players a plan and a licence to attack.

[mr underhill]

stating the obvious but this is a must win or we'll struggle to get back into the top six with lots of sides coming into good form, not least Fulham who are sneaking up on the rails.

I hope everyone had a good Crimbo - despite the useless muppets that are apparently representing our (once?) magnificent football club.

To think that Bruce & his cloggers will get anything from this evening's game is - as far as I'm concerened - unthinkable, so I'm going for a plucky draw. Possibly.

He'll want them to score goals, every manager does. I'm just saying a look at the table should be half the team talk done.

And pick the right players and the right tactics and  change it if it is not working.
