Aston Villa vs Derby Pre Match Thread

[Villa75]

We're due a home win, surely?

We've only managed one home win in over three months!

[Clampy]

If we can take last weeks second half showing into today, we should win this one. I'll go for a nervy 2-1. Adomah and Abraham with ours.  Marco Gabbiadini for them.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I've a feeling we'll click today and put in a massive performance.

3-0

[wittonwarrior]

Oh well an other Saturday of high hopes - come on villa please match them

[cdward]

I'm expecting a loss, so anything positive will be a bonus.
This season is becoming one to forget, if we win, it may just spark a late surge, if not forget it, and look forward to our 4th season down here.

He's a Smurf isn't he?

If you mean Abraham, he posted on social media that he is fit

thanks for pointing that out ....an errant "s"
My humble apologies for being so lackadaisical

[BoVillan esq]

We must, no excuses, 3-1, a magnificent valliant Villa victory, this is where it all comes together and we reconnect with the top 6 and a push for the play offs.

[Nelly]

As always, if we give it our best I can accept the result.
Come on Villa, do us proud.

Good luck with your lad today Ads.  Enjoy every second of it.  Before you know where you are he will be driving you to games.  I can't  believe it is nearly four years since you were posting that the baby was on his way. 

[Ads]

Thanks Brian. It has gone very quick, but I've been waiting for this day! We're in Brum now and will be heading up soon.

I fancy us today with Jack back and Max bringing the luck.

[brian green]

The trick, if I can suggest it Ads is just to let him do whatever he wants.  If he wants to look at the mad people around him rather than Jack scoring a hat trick that is cool.  Plenty of time to become as mad as the rest of us.

[auntiesledd]

I was gonna go for a draw, but since Ads Junior is joining his Dad to make his Villa debut - I've gone for a cheeky home win! 

So 2-1 to the good guys.

UTV!

[Sexual Ealing]

Lampard needs a win. I can't help but remember that Villa have always been very forthcoming when that Tory wanker needs something.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Captain Jack then?

[garyshawsknee]

Just read that about Jack too. Hope it really gives the whole place a lift, we can get a good hour out of him and get a much needed win. UTV.
