Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

I bet the bastards don't even bring any orange chips with them.

Could be a really good game but may be a tense affair with neither side wanting to lose.

Or they could just roll us over. Who knows?

Realistically a draw would be a good result for us.

OR  we could just roll them over. Where's all the negativity coming from guys? Fuck em. We're Aston Villa. ...

A draw leaves us six points adrift of Cardiff. It's not a good result for us.

7 points from our next three games is not the end of the world. We need to stop isolating games on a match by match basis. Most importantly, we need to focus on what is in our hands, not what other teams are doing or may possibly do. 8 wins out of 11 games and we're up. 7 wins and we're almost certainly up.

Not if Cardiff get 7 from 11 we're not!!

ALMOST certainly. Besides, 7 wins and 4 draws could be enough to pip Cardiff if they were to lose their other 4 games.

The way Cardiff and Fulham are going we'll lose ground with draws. We need to treat every game like a cup final from now on in (but not the 2000 or 2015 variety) and win the bloody things.

We've got 11 games left. We've recently just won 7 on the trot for the first time in something like 20 years. We aren't going to win 11 on the bounce. Besides a point somewhere along the line could be the point that edges us into 2nd.

formation tomorrow is critical - Bruce has to set us up properly.

[Tom Stewart]

A draw or a defeat is not the end of the world. It would be annoying considering the opposition and the fact that there is a bit of needle in it now, but our 4 games after the Dogheads are QPR, Bolton, Hull and Reading.

I'd take 12 points out of the next 15, and I don't really care how we get them.

Wolves nil will do for me....

I haven't seen that much of Wolves, other than when we played them & against Leeds the other night. Their main threat seems to be coming from their full backs pushing right up the pitch, which means Albert & Snodgrass could be doing a lot of chasing back. This will stop them being a threat going forward. They are also a threat when breaking, which I think is our weak point.

If Bruce can compensate for these & not end up nullifying our threat, we'll have a good chance.

Other than that, the ref is the gobshite we had for the Burton game, a real weakling & more prone to making a mistake than usual.

I wouldn't worry yersel' about the Ref - as we'll have supplied him with the obligatory brown envelope weeks ago.

Yup we need to win.
