Aston Villa vs Brighton pre-match stuff

[PaulWinch again]

In league this season when we’ve played good sides we’ve been smashed. I think it’s really important we win today to demonstrate we can compete with the top performing sides this season.

I’m not sure at all, I have no idea. If we are able to put our strongest side out, with exception of Mings, Buendia and Moreno, we just need to have everyone on song. If we have a one or two off form we’ll lose.

It’s a bit frustrating as I remember that optimism I had from around February onwards when I thought we could beat anyone. Then I remember that sinking feeling from before November when I thought anyone can beat us.

I really miss seeing Mings in that line up.

We've had a couple of easy wins at bottom sides, a couple of really poor defeats by top teams, a late come from behind win against mid table, a late win away from home, and now its time for competent win against top team. Then all we'll need is surprise loss to bottom team aiming for last minute relegation escape.

[Clampy]

Not sure how to call this one. We normally bounce back well after a defeat so let's hope that's the case.

[Richard E]

We’re due a draw and this will be one. 1-1.

Think Donk may get a game today

Think Donk may get a game today

I’d hope not. I don’t mind him but he was poor (along with many others) in midweek and I think Brighton would run around him.

[Goldenballs]

Didn't Brighton make 7 or so changes and piss on Man Utd? We make a couple and look a rabble.

[AV84]

Based on today's match pack graphic we're playing 3 Watkins and 3 Diabys. Bound to score at least one.

I seriously hope not.

Zero chance of this after Wednesday

We're their our manyoo. We'll win.

Absolutely this. We need to put down a marker.

[Malandro]

It really depends on how many goals we gift them.
I’m not confident.

7-9 to them.
