Brentford v Aston Villa: Pre Match Thread

[PeterWithe]

I reckon we will click for this one and piss it.

Fuck em, we're the Villa.

Bruce needs to put O'hare in the starting line-up. Why is he so cautious? If Bruce does go, I'd like to see Dean Smith in as a replacement.

Why oh why do people think Dean Smith is the answer? Villa fan apart, what exactly are his credentials?

Well, without Recon and Bruce and Wyness and money and recognised players, he manages to force-sell the good players annually, yet play football-on-the-floor for a team that is easy on the eye and safely surviving in div 2 annually.

3-1 Brentford.

They just have our number at this level. Look at our three performances against them since coming down here.

Woods will look like Pirlo again no doubt.

Both games last season the ginger Pirlo bossed the midfield. Is there any chance Bruce will come up with a game plan to reduce his influence? If he don't and the wee ginger fella picks us apart again it will confirm to me what I already suspect. That Bruce is a chancer who just can't do the job he's paid to do.

0-3 away win. Merry Christmas!

Yes but other than that 😊....

Christmas truce between Paul, Ads and Clampy! Enjoy, fellas.

I wasn't being critical at all, i just think it's interesting to see ads suggest a gameplan that's nothing like Bruce delivers.

I want to see us play that way which is why I'm critical of the way Bruce sets us up which in turn causes all the disagreement.

That said Merry Christmas everyone.

Lets make sure Their Manager is on Our Team Bus as newest recruit.

Bruce has work to do at Sheff Wed or Boro

You mean a bit like when we asked for and eventually got Lambert in the game at Norwich? That worked out well.

Desperately need 3 points from 4  will Bruce target this game?

Can we not just leave him there? I honestly think we'd be better off not replacing him than keeping him.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Happy Boxing Day I hope.  Will be watching us on me hols.

Really hope I’m wrong but a draw at best in this game.

Brentford forums all seem, and it's fairly universal, that we win get done 3 or 4-0.

Will take a draw here.1-1

I think there are a lot of bruised arses in the Villa squad.  Would not be surprised to see us win this one.
