Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

Some people want to get a grip and stop moaning and instead get behind the team ..... afraid its typical Villa fans ...... is someone starting a Deano out campaign if we lose today ...it wouldn't surprise me reading this rubbish

Here come the "Better fan than you" brigade....

It's called having an opinion.

Right, after reading the last 5 pages I'm breaking my no drinking at home rule. Cider is poured. Cheers all! UTV!

Yep me too, already started.

Barkley is a fine player who shouldn't currently be in the first team but, with Jack out, now should be. All of these things can be simultaneously true.

Well he's not going to get a better chance to show what he's about. I strongly suspect he'll be shit again though.

Has a ball been kicked yet?

Kick off is 2.05pm mate.

[German James]

I'm glad there's no crowd. To judge by some comments on here, there would be booing from the kick-off!

Thanks. Good to see you've set your expectations early on.

Jack is a big miss but as someone else said he’d not been his normal self recently. Barkley really needs to find his pre injury form today.
I think it will be tough but who knows?

Let's do this! Clink! Clink!

As Dave points out above, it’s just opinions. Not sure why you’d expect anything else a few minutes before kick off.

[danno]

I'd be more confident if we'd played well recently, and if Cash was still fit. But if Fulham can get seven points in a week, then we can beat sodding Leicester City.

Agree, let’s see how far we progressed and are we still a “one man team?”

Yep, it's an opportunity.

Time to prove we're not a one man team. Not the midfield I would have picked, but hey, if everyone steps up to the mark we can still get a result.   Stay positive!

[Hookeysmith]

As most teams game plan is to nulify jack will be interesting to see how leicester re shuffle. Maybe our line up might surprise them

[TelfordVilla]

 Come on the villa boys

[Risso]

Good start. Leicester shot on target in 30 seconds from our kick off.
