Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithe]

I’m no fan of Barney but he might be worth a go with Whelan out and Onomah off the pace, I think Jedi is a far superior player in most instances but his lack of mobility might mean we have to try an alternative.

Why do we call them dingles?

After the family that was in Emmerdale.

[PeterWithe]

Or from the Urban Dictionary

‘A person of lower IQ and social status, not quite retarded but at the same time no rocket scientist’

Not my words Carol......

[PeterWithesShin]

Which i'm pretty sure derives from the Dingle family.

[PeterWithe]

Dunno, never watched it, I listen to the Archers, for a Brummie that’s all the fresh air I can manage.

[olaftab]

I think we will beat them.

Adomah
Hourihane
Grealish
Snoddy

Grabban

That's about as strong an attack as exists in this league. Grealish is the linchpin.

It's pretty good.
Fulham's is arguably better though.

I don’t think it is. Sessegnon is a surprise package whilst Mitrovic has scored some early goals but is not all that good. Cairney is the only one who could walk into our midfield. However  they play much better football as a team.

Tomorrow could well be ‘Jack time’

Don't get me wrong I like all our attacking players pretty much. My basis is Cairney is better than Hourihane (linked to big money move to West Ham although that probably dosen't mean anything) Sessegnon has higher peak than Adomah given some of the clubs he's getting like with and Mitrovic has scored 9 in a premier league season which Grabban hasn't so that was the breaker with both scoring regularly at this level.

So 3/5 probably better.

Football's funny though as if you put up the five regular Cardiff midfield players I wouldn't have any of them and I doubt Fulham fans would swop any either.

The best non-bullshit PR conference Bruce has given. I like the fact he's starting to 'own' his responsibility.
Maybe, just maybe, he's not as stupid as I fear he is.

Maybe. At 7.30pm we'll know if he's a chancer or a real manager that drive us forward. Kind of strange to still have no idea with 10 games to go. Just do whatever you did against the Rags, Bruce. I like his fight even if I have serious doubts about his ability.

[cheltenhamlion]

I watched that yesterday and to me it felt like we are bang up for this.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

No excuses.

This is not a time to hold us back. Rise up, Villa!

[Sexual Ealing]

I'd much rather that we were there, rather than thereabouts.

[adrenachrome]

I'd much rather that we were there, rather than thereabouts.

But there it is, or rather isn't.  Little is known about the whereabouts of thereabouts, but it is reasonable to assume that it is in the general vicinity.

That's just thereaboutery.
