Aston Villa vs Reading Pre-Match Thread

[Gareth]

Don’t get why a low attendance or flat atmosphere is an excuse for bad performances, hostile where crowd get on players back for the first misplaced pass I understand but flat should be easy to play in front of.

Not the crowds job to get the players playing - that’s the players themselves and management are for.

2-0 Villa win

[Chris Smith]

Woke up feeling confident. 3-1 win.

I'm confident we'll pick up the necessary wins. I can't pretend I have much interest in it.
The next month and a bit is going to draaaag.

I feel the same although I am hoping that we can finish the season strongly so that we go into the play offs with some momentum. That might renew my enthusiasm although the kick off times for home games seem designed to do the opposite.

We were hoping to get 2nd, even 1st after beating Wolves, then expectations keep getting downgraded to 3rd, then to 4th. Lose another couple and just making the play-offs will be the target.

any type of win please Villa

[Des Little]

Turn up, get behind them, hope for a win.  And we will.

[Comrade Blitz]

4-2 

[maigrait]

Expect fulham to wallop leeds. We could do with winning to cement our place in the playoffs. Still cant believe warnock has got cardiff up. Madness. Soon hamburgers will be eating people.

1-0 villa...

[berneboy]

My wife says 2-0. When I asked if she was sure she said it might be 4-0.

So that's good.

[ColinMac]

Not been this underwhelmed by an upcoming match in quite a while. I think it will be a crap performance and a 1-1 draw.

Same here. Next month is to: dont get injured, and rotate the squad a bit so if they need to change anything in the playoffs then they know how.

oh, and win some games would be nice!
Cardiff and Wolves have got there, by being consistant and not panicing.
Fulham might overtake Cardiff. We wont, 2 losses on the bounce saw to that.

[Three Spires Villa]

Dour 0-0 or even a loss 0-1

[villa `cross the mersey]

In what minute will the booing start tonight?
I`ll go for half time
Only kidding guys ... it will be a resounding victory tonight ....1-0 to the Villa

[Chris Jameson]

One thing I've learnt from this thread is that Stam is no longer Reading manager, when did that stop being a thing?
