Aston Villa 0 v Crystal Palace Pre Match Thread.

This is it. Win or bust.

Yep.  With that in mind, we've got to at least try and get some creativity in the team.  Push Grealish back out wide, play Nakamba with Luiz and give Hourihane a free role in front of them.  Not CH's biggest fan at all, but at least he has a goal in him.

Too late mate, we are done. May as well give some game time to some youngsters or even some fans.

When a team are on a bad run of 4 consecutive defeats, like Palace are, we must be a godsend to them.

That's 21st century Villa.

Only a few of the U23s are training with the first team. The rest are all sat at home doing their own privately.

Benteke and Ayew to score and a 2 nil loss, Dean to say we are not out of it yet blah blah

[colin69]

Whatever the score we’ve had it now....we are exactly where we deserve to be!!!!

Remember at school when one team was hopelessly bad, so they’d be given a couple of better players to give them a chance?

Maybe Benteke and Ayew could play for us one last time.

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder if someone has put money on us to win the last 4 and offered to split the winnings with the players.

We'll probably win 6-1 now for the troll fest.

Benteke hat trick of own goals.

[Allan C]

A sad desperate 0-2  I really can’t see us getting another point

[Skerra]

I posted last week that it could be decided after those two matches today. Bearing in mind also the way we have been playing since the restart, nothing to suggest that I would change my mind now.
Unless a miracle on the scale of Lazarus rising from the grave should come about.

[Jon Crofts]

0- 4 after a solid first 25 minutes then a complete capitulation as usual.

[Skerra]

With a bit of luck, at least we may not have to play Brentford next season.
