2-0 to us I think. Derbies are never easy so I think it’ll be scrappy. Hopefully our injured will be fit again.

Most of the adult prices are over £50 TBF.

That is actually really expensive for a game against these this early in Jan

Ticket prices are a joke and the club should be ashamed

A mate asked if I wanted him to get me a ticket for this, given the result against Spurs I’m really looking forward to it, I didn’t ask the price I just said get it so I was a bit surprised to be paying over £40 in The North Stand.

£41.50 is the cheapest adult ticket, and the only zone that's under £50. The others are £50.50, £54.50 and £59.00. Saft prices imo, but i'm also no longer their target audience.

If you can't get down the Villa you could always go to the pantomime, sorry that was today

Looks like I got a bargain then!, it’s in the top category of games but it’s bloody expensive all things considered given the prices above.

Martinez or Olsen in goal for this one? Not as easy a decision as I originally thought!!

In the absence of Martinez, Unai spent 6 weeks changing our tactics, in particular playing the ball out from the back. It worked against Spuds and Olsen looked more assured.

Can Martinez adjust fast enough or is it a case of 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'?

Will he wait for the Stevenage game when it might be easier for Martinez to adjust to our new style of play??

I will sit on the fence, scratch my arse and bow to Unai's superior knowledge.  :-\

Would be very surprised if Martinez didn't come back in. It will be a much more physical game than Spurs and he relishes that. Think Cash will come in for Young too, three games in quick succession might be a bit far for Young. McGinn will hardly make it you would think, Dendoncker if fit back v his former club the most likely replacement.

Not sure Dendoncker would replace McGinn in our current formation.  Ramsey or Sanson would be the more like-for-like replacements, but probably wouldn't be in contention.

Prices for this one are ridiculous. Christmas plus irrelevant opposition plus midweek plus top prices equals poorer crowd than we should get.

This is actually where having so many season ticket holders becomes counter productive, like pretty much everyone in top half club can afford to fleece the 3-4k that is available for general sale.

Was going to this but will instead go to Leeds game where most part of the ground are a "mere" 35-40 quid.

Only going to get dearer when North Stand is close and we're playing at a reduced capacity for pretty much a season.

That's a depressing amount left. Villa have take. The support for granted. It shows the 20k aren't willing to pay the big bucks on a Wednesday night. Maybe it'll wake the greedy sods up

So still on course for 40,000+. That's a depressing gate?
