Aston Villa v Watford Pre Match

[Dave P]

Has Tim leapfrogged Chukwumeka now in the pecking order or are they slightly different players?

Different players I think, but give him two games, he'll either be dreadful, not good enough or shit.

Or lightweight and should be loaned off to Walsall for the rest of the season to grow some gonads.

Luiz, McGinn and Watkins were absolutely dreadful Sunday and have been for weeks. None of them deserve a start.

Absolutely agree with this, they were all dog shit and looked like they didn't really care - drop all of them.

I will take any kind of scrappy win tomorrow.  This will be tougher than expected I reckon.

[Matt C]

Suspect we’re going to see a surprise selection or two. I’d be amazed if Young doesn’t start.

[Sexual Ealing]

This game keeps making me think of an away game at Craven Cottage in 2007/8. It was also in February, and Roy had been there a few weeks, losing every game. We were flying (relatively) high under MON's first flush of ageing centre-backs and Gabby.

I think we took the lead, but then soon relinquished it. And then a winner. They ended up in the Uefa Cup final (might've been the next season, that); we were cold, very cold indeed.

He's due a win, is what I'm saying. And we know how that ends.

I'm taking my entire household today. I noticed people drinking and making merry around the statue quarter before the Leeds game, so can anyone tell me if this is a permanent thing, as we wouldn't mind a bit of it beforehand. And what's the best time to see the players arriving, is it about an hour and a half before kick-off?

Hoping for a good day, don't mind the cold but wishing any rain is light and short-lived, with the highlight being a Villa romp. I wouldn't mind seeing a change or two in the starting line up, as long as we stick with our twin 10s, but let's give them a firmer foundation. 3-0 us, one each for our magical trio Buendia, Coutinho and Ramsey.

Looks like it.

“ Outside the stadium there will be several street food trucks situated on the Trinity Stand forecourt and a bar serving alcoholic and soft drinks. The traders include Flying Cows, The Grub Shed and Only Jerkin.”

[Villa Lew]

If Phil and JJ play like they did against Leeds, then there's only gonna be one winner, hopefully Tim will get some game time.

[Bobby Boy]

No ifs, buts or maybes, this lot lost 3-0 at home to Norwich recently and are going down.

2-0 to the greatest football team the world has ever seen.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Gonna be a wet,grisly day. 4-0 us.

Badly needed and may help with the infrastructure pressures. Redeveloped North Stand needs more of these kind of facilities pre- and post-match. This is the game changer Villa Park requires.

I'd play this team:

Martinez

Cash
Chambers
Mings
Dinge

Tim
Sanson
Ramsey

Countinho
Buendia

Ings

Luiz, McGinn and Watkins were absolutely dreadful Sunday and have been for weeks. None of them deserve a start.

That'd be my choice, except I'd play Coutinho instead of his vampire cousin.
