Aston Villa v Wolves Pre Match Thread

[themossman]

Almost universal pessimism, interesting. It must mean we’re going to win. Or get thrashed. Or possibly draw.

[Footy-Vill]

Think Dean Smith will rotate with a few as he said Villa are expected to freshen the team up vs Wolves be interesting what changes he's going to make from Newacstle

I’m dreading this one. They are now notorious for late goals, 70 minutes plus. Now we’ve got a horrible habit for leaking goals late in the half. This could be a nightmare.

0-2. Social Media avoided for the entire weekend, as a minimum.

Please God , no Trez nor El Ghazi. I could well be wrong but struggling to think of any match this season where either have significantly contributed in their role as wingers. Admittedly, Trez has chipped in with some important goals but this shouldn’t gloss over their all fart no shit general “contribution”.

Seconded. I had some optimism regarding Trezeguet...that has gone.

El Ghazi is appalling.

[BoVillan esq]

We're gonna win this, Wolves are up there as one of the hardest teams in the Premiership to beat, they have a supreme manager,  Nuno Espírito Santo, but its just a hunch, this is ours, all 3 points, this is where we survive, Jack I need you to step up mate.

Through action, a man becomes a hero.
Through death, a hero becomes a legend.
Through time, a legend becomes a myth.
Through hearing a myth, a man takes action.

do it!!!.

I did too, thought there was a player there. He has enthusiasm and really wants to do well. He might just be a bit shit though.

I hope you have a seat on that fence 

But I think that we are due a surprise result ( in our favour! )
Maybe we get a fluke goal, then normal service is resumed, with all backs to wall, and we break away, and sneak another.

I try to have a positive mental attitude.
I positively have attitude, but best less said about the other

[adrenachrome]

4-1 to us, Bjarnason with the pick of them.

Bjarnason must come good soon, shirley?

This could be the day dat that we click. Once we have clicked, it will be downhill sailng or bunjee jumping all the way down. Pile on at these odds. Gamble sensibly. Look after your Mom and don't cross a picket line.

Looking at where they are and where we are, you’d be a bit mad to predict a Villa win. My only glimmer of hope is that it’s a derby and if we can somehow drag them down to our level, we may be able scrape a point and hope other results go our way. The whole derby thing is pretty much negated though with no crowd behind us. I’m expecting a handy Wolves team to win comfortably, but you never know.

With a sell out crowd roaring us on, who knows.

With no fans at all, the fact we’re close geographically means nothing IMO.

Even a draw would be nice to temporarily get out of the bottom three.

[Rigadon]

I hope Freddie is back.

I would go

I hope Freddie is back.

I would go with;

Targets

I’m not sure playing two of him will be enough, but might make Dean feel confident enough to play Jack through the middle I suppose. 

Nah, he’ll still play him on the left to protect the Targets. 

[PaulWinch again]

I have a horrible feeling we’ll get thumped.
