Sandwell Town vs Aston Villa: Pre-Match Thread

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I’m a bit worried about Friday - worried about how confident I am, and how much I’m looking forward to the match. It’s a really strange feeling because the last few years have knocked the confidence out of me, even when things look positive.

It feels different now though so my prediction is that we’ll do these wankers 3-1.  Tammy, Bolasie and Grealish to score.

Looking forward to this immensely. I’ve hated watching Villa on TV for the last God knows how many years. Now it’s different. We actually look like we want to win games playing attacking football rather than sneak them with a bit of luck. Far more comfortable viewing.

I can't stand those bastards so a nice, comfy, don't get out of second gear, 6-2 victory will be just fine.

Being a Great Barr lad, I reckon this one might mean more to DS than the blues game. Like most of us from north Brum, I knew more baggies fans in the area than noses.

Deano will have them fired up for this one I'm sure.

1-3 the Villa.

[Risso]

I wonder how many times there has been a match where both managers are Aston Villa fans?

[Chico Hamilton III]

Only 20k there last night, you can add 5-6k on to that on Friday. They've got 200 tickets remaining. Come to see the Villa.

I watched the Brentford game on telly. At one stage you could hear the players talking to each other, it was so quiet.

They’ll  Find the missing thousands in time for Friday though.

Odd that he didnt mix it up. The fross for the equaliser was because Morrison was fucked and could not close down.

What will they do against a side with so much pace out wide?

Try and kick the shit out of us as usual. Remember Alex Cropley.

Fucking loads. Just not in Birmingham because Villa are from everywhere else!

Tipton Turdus Turdus 1 Aston Villa 5.

Tipton Turdus Turdus 1 Aston Villa 5.

I think Richard E may be offended due to his association with Turdus Town.

I've always had a strong dislike for these tossers, in my time watching they've always been a much closer rival than the Blues. So I enjoy beating them all the more.

I more confident than a month ago, but think it'll be a draw.

1-3 Villa

Pen Abraham, Chester and Grealish .

[Des Little]

It'll make a nice change for us to play a local rival who are utterly consumed with jealousy about us won't it? Must be nearly a fortnight since the last time.

[Hookeysmith]

Its just nice to go into games like this with confidence, knowing that Smith will pick the best team and try to win the game.

 

I love the fact this could be posted for every game

I think everyone has fallen back in love with us. Long may it continue

2-1  Chester + Hourihane

This x 100. The talk the other day was about how Pulis was going to launch the ball and get behind us. It’s so nice and novel to have a manager who reacts to that tactically rather than passively accepting what we all know is going to happen.
