Aston Villa vs Leeds United Pre-Match

[SoccerHQ]

No, the 2-3 was where Jack (where is he now) Clarke came on and ripped Elmo to pieces.

Spurs signed him up straight after the game but didn't work out and he's at Sunderland now and starting to look good again.

They always turn up at VP whereas we seem to have more comfortable games at Elland Road, haven't conceded a goal up there since they came to join us in the prem.

I think we'll win.

If it's a dispiriting feel sorry for yourself performance from us at home to team barely above bottom 3 then we need to start selling some of these players.

Feels like at a point now where we really have to be ruthless with players instead of giving them endless more chances otherwise it will be same again in 12 months time.

Believe it or not but plenty of premier league clubs have poor cup exits every season....and then go out and win the next league game 2-0.

Fed up of us just going into our shells and not winning a game for two months. It's a mentality that needs to change so let's at least see what the response is first.

Leeds are a very average team...Liam Cooper still gets a game for example. Not sure if that Junior guy at left back plays much, he's arguably the worst player in the division. Win the midfield battle and we win the game. I think after the week that's in it, we will. Bad start but come back to win comfortably 3-1.

With Sanson reportedly on way out and both McGinn and the Donk unavailable, our midfield options will be limited. Nakamba isn't rated obviously but still worth having him on bench if we needed fresh legs in last 10-15 mins.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow. For all that they are Dirty Leeds our games against them are rarely dull and they will go at us which should open up some space.

Despite his struggles recently I would play Bailey (unless his head has gone at the minute).

Should be a good game. 2-2.

I am taking nothing other than an 'Apology' win from this squad.

A home win
A clean sheet
A debut for our new player
Return of Ramsey
Strong end to the game
Keeps the weekend happy and glorious ready for the next game.

I still have the bad taste of the Stevenage defeat in my mouth no matter how many times I brush my teeth, floss or strong mouthwash.

1-0
Paul McGrath and Shaun Teale will both head the ball against their own crossbar but Andy Townsend will pop up the winner in the second half after a great long pass from Neil Cox.

As much as I can't stand them, the games between us and them generate a proper atmosphere

The result on Sunday was devastating and it could have a very negative impact on our players. Team will be not take to the field in an confident and arrogant mood. I fear a very bad night.

There are likely to be only 3 or 4 from Sunday starting the game so it shouldn’t be a major factor.

If Leeds had lost to Stevenage instead of us, we'd be fearing a backlash.

Absolutely.

No chance in hell I'm getting up at silly o'clock to watch our bang average, overpaid twats ambling around the field, looking second best to another bunch of twats with stupid hot cross bun haircuts.

Still hope we batter them, though

[Dr Butler]

unable to make the game, so keep a clean sheet please Villa and we will win....

The negative impact is nullified with the reinstatement of Martinez. An arrogant frame of mind is what did for us against Stevenage, so none of that I hope.  Listening to last night's Southampton game when the pundit and commentator were discussing Southampton's next set of fixtures..."They've got Villa who are on a bit of a roll at the moment"

I think it was Citeh's fixtures, but yeah it made my eyebrow lift
