Aston Villa v Preston Pre-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

Well isn't Bruce lucky getting to play the worst teams in the league .
Preston have so little idea on how to defend , low on confidence and are one of worst teams in league form wise .

Away from home played 5 lost 5 and only scored 2 goals and conceded 11

Player for player villa are better and so on that basis and the need for a big result a 4-0 victory.

Couple of penalties .

And still I bet his first thought is to keep it tight

With our attacking players we ought to be able to play rush goalie tonight - but it will be safety first no doubt

Callum Robinson now injured to add to Harrup from the weekend. I think thats 8 first teamers out injured now. They started well before injuries and suspensions took their toll.
PNE aren't as bad as their league position suggests (although with that injury list they are right now!). They don't give up though - so late drama & disapointment is always a possibilty for us

Preston aren't Bournemouth but are plucky and decent moving forward seemingly defence pretty shocking
Well apparently Villa have shown some resilience themselves this season though that's debatle as to the level

We better be up for debatle.

I hope the fans give him some plenty of stick.  All 90 mins. 

[Clampy]

I hope we put 3 or 4 past them.

Apparently Hogan is replacing Jed at centre half and Jack in goal.

Can't make it to the game tonight think it's going to be another dull performance 1-1

[maigrait]

Sigh. Us >= them.

Fuck that, I hope we get behind the team.

If we don't drum these then Bruce wants putting in a sack with TB infected badgers, put on a trebuchet and launched into orbit.

What have the badgers done to deserve that kind of treatment.
You'll have the RSPCA after you.

A thoroughly underwhelming 1-0 win, probably against the run of play. Quickly followed by Bruce giving it large in a style last seen when Jordan Belfort threw a party to celebrate a deal.

I think badgers only give you TB if they suck your tits.  Journos form an orderly queue.

[lovejoy]

For all those hoping we lose, can you fuck off out tonight and take your negative misery with you?

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

What if you suck their tits, Brian?
