Kodjia is going to be on the bench.

That's great news

I've got a feeling we'll sneak this (although it probably emanates from blind optimism after a cuppla weeks without meaningful football). 

1-2 Villa

[CT Villan]

Wouldn't be surprised if Bruce rested Jedinak and Bjork following their international exertions, and possibly try Axel as the holding midfielder.

I was thinking the same...and with Hutton also coming in for Taylor, we will win 0-2.

Blimey that's quite a turnaround from SB ruling him out for the season not so long ago.

Just hope we haven't rushed him back too quickly like we probably did at the start of the season.

Anyway as for the game, think we'll nick it 1-2. Always thought this was the more likely of the two away games we'd win and we'll probably pick up again now Cardiff are miles in the distance. Think SB tends to have a good record against his former clubs aswell.

They have got Abel Hernandez back so more cutting edge upfront but Hull are terrible at the back so we should be scoring 2 at least.

Hoping for a much Improved performance from the Bolton defeat. 2-1 villa win

If ever we needed a morale boosting win - it's tomorrow
With the benefit of hindsight I would have taken a loss to Wolves and wins against  QPR and Bolton

With the extra 3 points that brings I can see you logic😜

A win virtually guarantees a play off position thanks to Derby’s implosion. Got to keep the pressure on Cardiff.  I’m hoping for any kind of win after the last two shockers.

I still think these are must wins. Finishing 3rd or 4th guarantees a 2nd leg play off at home.

Deep in heart, I do believe, that this would not likely be an advantage, Pete3206.

Say what you see.

Ah. That's Roy.

[wittonwarrior]

Come on you Lions - we really need this.
