Aston Villa v Fulham pre match chat - Tuesday, 25th - 7.45pm

[Toronto Villa]

Next game is a few days away. Should be a packed Villa Park. Our home form recently has been very good and I expect we will be markedly better than today after Emery gets into the players. Still easy to forget how well we have done of late, and we are going for 10 unbeaten which is incredibly hard to do at PL level.

Hopefully Emi is fit and ready to go because the thought of 90 minutes of Olsen not just makes us as fans collectively shit our pants but more importantly the players, especially our defenders, are much more cagey when playing with him.

But I'll go for a solid 2-0 win - Ollie and SJM

[Legion]

0-2.

[Brazilian Villain]

2-0 to us and Franky gets to visit Villa Park. Everyone's a winner!

[Chris_Jephcott]

My big hope is that Emi’s stomach bug doesn’t spread around the camp.

If we’re ok on that, we’ll win. I have no doubt… today was like a hangover, almost like the team sensed the insecurity.

We’ll have better days - Brentford away is not an easy game. And I think we’ll best Fulham this time around.

A big night at Villa Park. If Emi's back we win.

3-0

Glad your looking forward  to it boys, we are finally finding a way to play without Mitrovic, I don’t think your two centre halves will be doing much heading in the game, even if Vinícius starts, he a poor replacement for Mitrovic, plus our crosses have been quite shite, we seemed to picked up since the Old Trafford debacle, saying that we’ve only beaten two crap teams in Everton and Leeds, and I’m pretty sure you’re give us a proper test, as somebody who at the start of the season would have happy with 17th on goal difference,  I’m chuffed that we could be west London champions, I’m glad you’ve done so well since getting rid ofGerrard, and getting a real manager,  I’m enjoying the relegation battle, if would be nice if one or two of the so called big clubs were relegated I’m looking at you Everton and Leeds!! enjoy the rest of season and try not to turn up nose at European football, it gave me one of the best seasons in 50 years of going to Fulham, 2009/10 was brilliant

[Monty]

Believe me Franky we'd be ecstatic with Europa League and pretty damn pleased with Conference!

[PeterWithesShin]

Emi plays, 4-0. Olsen plays, 2-2.

[PaulWinch again]

Very tricky - our squad is so stretched it’s going to be tough to keep the levels up.

[CT Villan]

FYI, this is a 7:45pm ko.

I think we'll win 2-0.

[Nev]

I was relieved to hear that it was illness rather than an injury with regard to the Keeper so he should return. The presence of Olsen genuinely can be the biggest influence on the result such is the chasm in ability between the 2 players.

We should prevail, keeper issue being OK but I've always felt that this is a tricky little fixture, midweek and all and could surprise a few.

1-1

[Villafirst]

We could do with Bouba, Matty and Philippe back for this - at least on the bench as quality options. U E said at the Forest presser that they were 10 to 14 days from returning, that was over 2 weeks ago. I hope Emi Martinez has recovered as none of us want Olsen! What is wrong with Jed Steer? He's been out for ages. Anyway, 2-1 to us.

[Axl Rose]

1-0 win. Ollie

[RamboandBruno]

They are playing better without Mitrovic they i thought they would, but as the Fulham fan said, its been poor Everton and Leeds sides they have beaten.
I think it will be a tight game anyway but the goalie factor is huge. If Emi is back, ill go with 1-0, Watkins. If Olsen is in, I can’t comprehend.

[ChicagoLion]

We could do with a couple of our injured back, particularly Kamara and Cash.
Obviously we need EMI in goal.
