Aston Villa vs Burton Albion pre match thread

Butler on the pitch at half time

Geezer, that is, rather than Dr

As long as it’s not Tony.

What about Blakey ?

Derby beat Burton 1 - 0 and Fulham beat them 6. It's something in between I hope. Maybe a 2 or 3 goal salvo.

Tomorrow's Dream:-

Aston Villa (Volume) 4 - Burton Albion (Super) Nought.

Avit!

I will be happy as long as we score one more than they do.

Another of those typical you know Villa games.  Everything points to an easy afternoon of 3-0.  But a Darren Bent line lead Burton might make it uncomfortable for us.  2-1.

Has to be a win surely? 3-1

[Lastfootstamper]

Villa, some. Hogan (2), Adomah, Terry in front of The Holte. Them, fewer. Probably none.

It's good to be excited about the games. Not just ours, but eagerly keeping an eye on others too.

Which reminds me, why the prominence given to PL scores and results over Championship on the big screens? Small gripe, but I couldn't give a monkey's about the PL at the moment.

Bristol's result against Bolton is a reminder tomorrow's game will be tough and needs complete focus and effort.

This is as much of a gimme as you can get in a league game. They're shit. Worst defence and only sha have scored less. Wednesbury Old Athletic should finally be removed from our records tomorrow.

Wish you hadn't said that.

No complacency please. An early goal for us would be nice. Albert is due one.

Darren Bent is 73.

I think we will be a bag of nerves in nosebleed territory but will do enough to win.

I am not quite as old git as you, but really don't expect too many nerves in the team with the experience in there. I am concerned about Bent, but we have hungry players who need to perform to keep their places. 3-1 will do me

You mean the Darren Bent who has not played this season and hasn't scored for about 2 and half seasons?

[kippaxvilla2]

You heard it here first....it’s all I’m saying.  I do hope I’m utterly wrong of course.
