Play them after they had a drubbing. We’ve seen this one before!

Last week it was "They haven't won for eight games. We know what comes next."
Dave, let me be miserable and pessimistic when it comes to the villa. It’s my right as a Brummie and a villa fan to get nose bleeds at the thought of the top half!

If we keep West Ham quiet for the first 20 minutes the crowd will turn, they are under pressure to get results. Win 0-2 Watkins and Mings.

What’s our record at their soulless bowl? I do hope we can get a convincing win there and Chelsea don’t get a decent result as be great to leapfrog the Chelsea road block.

Oh, and don’t forget Antonio hasn’t scored since the Ice Age!!

He scored two league games ago.

We either win, and Moyes gets sacked, or they win 1 nil with Ings scoring

We've only played once there infront of a crowd and that was last season. Previous was the 1-1 that kept us up in summer 2020 and lost 2-1 when Ollie missed a last minute penalty.

Thanks Soccer. We should have enough to put these to the sword but I don't know. I thought they had been in their new ground longer than that for some reason.
I think we will draw 1-1 but if we can get into them from the off, they may have their confidence shaken. It is nice to be looking up the table again though.

We haven't beaten them in the 7 games since we came back up, including losing the last 5. Well, well overdue.

Musical chairs to.continue between Digne and Moreno in the LB spot? Hopefully Dendoncker is back so we get a good look at him as Kamara's replacement.

He pwn'd Brentford when we hammered them and no one has got the better of them since. The Stevenage thing was unfortunate but he deserves another shot at the big time.
