Aston Villa vs Sam's bitters pre match thread - Sunday 25th, 7pm

[Ketzster]

This is last chance saloon territory for them after Leicester and they have no choice but to go for it.

That's one of the reason's why I think he'll play Davis and Watkins and also because their defence looked awful against Leicester.

I agree with you that it should be, but obviously it won’t be Davis and Watkins up front. It will be 4-3-3 as usual, it’s just a matter of who he plays on the left

I wonder what formation we'll try.

I wonder what formation we'll try.

It’s a long shot but I’ll go
4 3 3
Expect a sub around 65 minutes

Haha. What makes you think that, mate?

[Skerra]

Just a question of will he start with Traore or El Ghazi and then a straight swop after 65 minutes. Neither will offer much going on the last few performances.

Just a hunch

Both will start.

In fairness El Ghazi had some decent games v West Brom in last two years. Both played well in the away game although completely different feel to us now compared to xmas when we looked a proper top 6 team.

[Smirker]

Difficult to say but I think a boring 1-0 Villa win is most likely here.

Hurry up Jack.

Albion will want/need more than we do, but I won't be betting against us (never do - usually abstain)

Let him play, they'll be terrified of him. Who knows, they may even want to buy him in the summer.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

A win would be nice for a change...

[eamonn]

4 months ago we would have smashed the Baggies.

No "would" about it - we fcuking did!

[BlackCountryVilla]

We will do these tomorrow. 3-0.
Dirty horrible Stripey filth.
Hate everything about them. From the brown envelope, dingle bastard manager to that repulsive Roy Of The Rovers deck chair third strip.
They reek of despair and we need to knock another nail in.
Lets not forget they hate us with a passion (and did their best to hurt Super Jack in the last match)
Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside .......

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Win Villa please not just because it's the bitters, but also because it would be nice to get one over their thick sh-t, f-ckwit, bellend of a manager.
UTV!

Under no circumstance should we play Wesley. Not the game for a long term injured player to return. They tried to get Jack last game and regularly finish games against us with 10 men. Remember the two footed lunge in the play offs ..... on our goalie?

Dirty Bastards!
