Aston Villa vs Hull City: Pre-Match Thread

[garyshawsknee]

Just seen some stats in support of my Hourihane at the base of the midfield suggestion.

I think he's a liability off the ball, but in that role his average passing accuracy over 5 games with Jack in the team has been 91%. With Connor further up we averaged over the next 5 games 81% passing accuracy, with Whelan playing 4 games there and BB 1.

Put Connor back there and let's keep the fucking ball.

You my be right Ads. I thought our best way of defending would be to keep the ball a lot more. Further up the pitch he lets too many players run off him, so moving him back could work out.

Everything Villa is frustrating at the moment.
I expect it to be postponed.

...or even abandoned when we're 3-0 up with ten minutes left.

Hull win

Hull are the best team in the league, no way we’re getting anything here.

Boring draw, at best.

Hardly.

Hardly.

They’re not even the best team in Hull.

Hull KR play better football.

Actually, remember when Bruce had Hull KR kick the living day lights out of Grealish?

Steve Sidwell is leading the ball boys out so Villa win for sure.

If anybody wants to bookmark this prediction so they can look like a bin rummaging, bush outside my house sitting, "I'll be Ads and you be David Copperfield" stalker with full on chest tattoo, please note I'm posting for a bit of fun, having recalled Milners volley with Sidwell assist.

1-1 draw

Hard to believe we are probably not favourites for a game against a team we beat 3 0 away only 5 months ago who were terrible that night.

They were terrible just six weeks ago. No idea how they've suddenly turned into this season's Fulham as aside from Grosicki and Bowen the rest of their team is very average even for this level. Not even at full strength currently.

Get the feeling this will be like QPR game so will go for 2-2 again.

We're round about evens or just about odds-on; you can get 11/4 Hull so we definitely are favourites.

would have been nice to have a new signing for a lift

Rico Henry or someone . . . CM  or a LB  ..   But of course it will be Taylor and probably Whelan starting , wouldnt be suprised If he brings Elmo in .. 

No idea what the score will be , might wait until 30 mins before the game .

We have to win to keep close to the play offs. .

Can’t understand how DS keeps saying Jesus is really busy and we concentrate on signing another keeper and go into another game weekend without further improvements / signings on the pitch

I thought Jesus traditionally took time off between Christmas and Easter. Although he should be good at picking a goalkeeper who knows about saving and crosses.

Hull win

I'm confused. Are they called 'Hull Win', 'Hull City'or 'Hull Tigers' now?

[levico]

What’s changed?

0-3
