Aston Villa v Brentford: Pre-Match Thread

[St AustellAVFC]

A lovely few days in Brum visiting family, my mom doing a cracking cooked breakfast,  few drinks this afternoon and evening and a 3 nil Villa win.

There now follows a page and a half of Culture Club puns...

Damned if there will.

First Hull, THEN IPSwich, now Brentford.

Jon Moss always reminds me of the day we didn't turn up in the FA Cup final v Arsenal.
Despite him, it will be a 2-1 Villa win

[BoVillan esq]

1-0 Villa win, we have to stay in contention, the Championship is already shaping up, you can see the teams that are likely to be in there at the end, Boro look like they are really going to stake a solid claim, I would expect the team we are going to play this evening to try and do the same, hopefully we can put a spoke in the works.

C'mon Villa

Lovely for you mate! Enjoy it all. And bring the villa luck tonight .
Have a nice day!

Mr EFL David Prutton:

This is another tough one - Brentford have had a wonderful start to the season but I suppose you could also say the same thing about Villa. It would've been a tougher assignment had it been at Griffin Park but the Bees will be confident after a very good performance against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday. I feel this could be a very close game.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 with Jonathan Kodjia to score first

Can’t find press conference for tonight’s game on YouTube , any ideas or reasons ?

So speaks Captain Sensible.

Always Happy Talk from you, PWS.

My noggin says Brentford win; my heart obviously says Villa. Thus, I'll plump for the wisdom supplied via the lower neck area & predict a draw.

1-1 with the highlight being a 30 yard screamer from SJM.

[Drummond]

4-0 win sends us top. Unless Bolton win by 6.

[Nastylee]

Can see a draw. Our job will be made harder though if we persist with MJ at centre half. There's a case, albeit a crap one, when the opposition are direct but against a team with pace and movement it's asking for trouble.

Absolutely. Jedi should drop to the bench. Put a pacy CB in his rightful position and play Bjarnason as he has more pace and versatility.

I’ve gone for a draw- still early season. Big game for us though - I think we are 6th and 7th respectively. A win would be most welcome, but I think we’ll struggle to a draw with a late equaliser. Wtf do I know though.
