Aston Villa vs The Kit Stealers Pre-Match Thread - Monday 16th at 8pm.

[Toronto Villa]

May as well kick of the pre match thread. I'll go for 2-1 to us. Wesley and Jack with the goals. I can see Conor coming in for one of the wingers and Marvelous on the bench along with Kodjia.

They don’t travel well. I think their record at VP is pretty poor.
Could do with a win, expect a draw.

I told my 8 yo daughter who the next game was on the way to school and she said ‘you mean the kit stealers’? So proud.

1-0 squeaky win us. Wesley goal.

Looking forward to it, going to be a full house again on our side, and will be interesting to see how we come back from the Palace saga.

Starting to get the buzz and can't wait.  It's a very important game for us and one where a win would make such a positive difference.  A clean sheet would be nice.  The Everton game will have given the new lads a taste of what Villa Park can be like, let's hope it inspires them on Monday.

season ticket holder at West Ham said they have sold all of theirs, sadly due to work commitments cannot make this one so my mates lad is going to his 2nd game at Villa Park the 1st being the win over Everton

We've got to be winning games like this.  Also, given that we're the Monday game, we don't want any sort of gap to start appearing between the bottom three and the rest.  Well we do, as long as we're not in it.

Funnily enough, they're saying the same thing on their forum.  That and apparently a lot of them hate or despise us but aren't sure why, even though we've never done anything so bad as that terrible cross-arm gesture that seams to be rife among their lot like a bad case of scabies.

This game opens old battles within my family as my brother and nephew are West Ham fans. Over the years I always ruled the roost as we usually got a result against this lot. They're a different team now, not a basket case like they use to be, think i'd take a draw.

[Gary Penrice]

A 3-2 win for us in what will be a wide open game.

[UK Redsox]

Did all the internationals make it through uninjured ?

Playing on the Monday means that any long distance travelling should be irrelevant

[Legion]

D 1-1.

[Axl Rose]

They're a bit creaky at the back (I think), so get Wesley supported, and we'll win this. This will be our first come back from a goal down to win, game of the season.

Lanzini to score early, and Engels and Jota for us in reply.

[Hookeysmith]

Think we need to support the likes of Luiz in front of our defence
