Aston Villa vs Luton Town pre-match thread

[Rigadon]

Diaby is a better play than Bailey despite the latters form lately.  Diaby and Watkins together are a real handful for most defences. I guess it depends how much certain players need a rest etc.  We need to keep the pressure on the teams slightly ahead and the ones slightly behind, so I'm hoping for a win and ideally another goal haul, because its so tight this year that goal diff could be important.

It should be a routine win but I too am unnerved by the level of confidence, something's bound to go wrong

Diaby didn't play in the week so i think he starts . Is Zaniolo back from Italy and available ?
I'd play the team that started v WHUFC if they are all available

I'm wondering the same. He was supposedly in Italy on Friday, so he might not have been there for the Luton specific preparation.

Too much hubris on this thread. 1-1, with us having 21 shots on target to their 1 shot.

Complacency is probably the only thing that will stop us winning today and I really don’t think Unai will allow that.

I completely agree. He will not accept slacking. He'll want to funeral these to the fullest extent. Whilst showing them the respect due a team in the same division.

I love him more with every passing day.

Luton will voluntarily go into administration at 4pm after what we’re about to do to them.

Ha! I hope you're right. I woke up far too early this morning worrying about the game. As VillaTim said, it has a Notts County at home 1981 feel to it that I just can't shake off. I should have stayed in bed.

For anyone of a nervous disposition. I am going today. My last Villa game was against Stevenage.

Yeah I've got a bad feeling about this.

Typical Villa supporters, our best run for years playing a club let's face it who will be lucky to stay up and they think we will lose ( well some anyway). 6 nil to us.

We of Villa know that the gods are capricious and wilful, that their ways are inscrutable to mortals, that pride attracts their jealousy and excites their rage.

Best wishes have every faith in you!
Stevenage are better form than Luton and we ain't playing our reserves in this one!
And of you get to witness a record win?
Let us dream!

Yeah I've got a bad feeling about this.

Come on Monty
I'm feeling lucky number 7 .
