Hopefully we won't go into the game thinking we just have to turn up but i'm sure the likes of Terry won't let that happen anyway. Get the first goal and Burton's heads should drop. 3-1. Adomah, Snodders and sub Grabban with ours.

Yep.  Only change I would consider tomorrow would be Onomah coming in for Hourihane, who I thought looked a bit out of sorts and jaded on Tuesday night.  Hopefully will we see a more adventurous bench which looks something like:

Bunn, Taylor, Axel, Jedinak, Hourihane, Green, Grabban

This should be 3 very comfortable points but for some reason I've got a very bad feeling about it. Sorry to be the pessimist but I must go with my gut, I think we might struggle to get going like we did in the first half v Sheff Utd and if we don't get that stroke of luck in the 2nd half we'll only come away with a point.

Potential banana skin game and Burton are better away from home.

0-1.

Its crucial we score early.

The key to that will be the line we hold and ensure we press them high up the park. Another 352 to turn into 532 by the positioning of Snoddy, Adomah and the full backs.

Get Grealish on the ball and him moving it that fraction quicker.

I wouldn't change the side, but Hourihane and Adomah were iffy Tuesday, so I would have Lansbury/Axel/Jedinak and Green to hand if needs be.

Its important the focus is there with the intensity to move that ball quickly.

Cue a link to a Burton forum saying how arrogant we are.

I just had a look and noticed one of your old friends...

http://burtonbrewers.proboards.com/thread/3293/aston-villa#

I must say I'd forgotten that they'd signed Bent. That worries me a bit.


That surely can't be our peter w but whoever it is sounds a right little ray of sunshine.
They seem a far more likeable bunch that the Sheffield lot.

Looking forward to being at Villa Park tomorrow.
I want to see us looking like a team that is going up.
