Aston Villa vs Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[VillaTim]

It's a game a week now we are out the cups so plenty of rest anyway . No Need to rest Rogers .

Not sure I follow that logic. We could rest him for the next match in the hope we get more from him in the final three. He's still knackered.

No, that makes no sense , he's a young athlete a week rest is more than enough at this stage

Make a prediction of the score later in the week, seems to be an atmosphere of utter shock that's overwhelmed the club at the moment, including fans, i'll wait to see if there are any injuries, simply we have to win this, lose this and that is closure on the season, so for me, from here on in this is the start of next season, what we do now is for next season and this is the first game, here we go, its going to be much tougher overall, Fulham are a decent side.

 

[VillaTim]

I think we will win comfortably and leave everyone scratching their heads why it didn't happen v Palace  .

Has Disasi ever done anything wrong for us playing at centre-half?

No, he has been fine there.

Sorry about the palace result from this Fulham fan, if it’s any consolation they did exactly the same to us!! As to Saturday which is the 50 year anniversary of our only cup final appearance, I’ve no real idea, we’ve been consistently inconsistent, but  we’ve had a good season but it could have been so much better!! inability to keep clean sheets inability to see out games, I think if we had a fit and motivated Mitrovic which I know is a bit of a oxymoron, we could have been where Forest are, we could finish the season with our best ever top flight finish, and the possibility of European football even if it is the conference league, hopefully follow your lead conference league and champions league the following season!!

Hi Franky, good to hear from you!

Nope and I would look.to sign him to play there if the deal is right in the summer.  Just wouldn't be using him at RB again.

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, me too. Was bewildered that some people seem to have really taken against him based on him playing out of position. Was wondering if I'd forgotten something.

He played well against Forest from memory. He’s not a bad CB.

Hey Franky, what's the verdict on Smith-Rowe? Also, could Mitrovic come back now he's made his extra wonga? If you want Ollie Watkins, there's plenty on here who wouldn't mind sending him your way if the price is right.

theres no way Mitrovic would come back I’m pretty sure, ESR been a bit disappointing but he’s still scored half a dozen goals, I suppose it been hard for him after 2 years on fringes at arsenal

Vaguely recall when he joined someone looked at some Chelsea forums, and that was their opinion of him, too.

[PaulWinch again]

Disasi is fine at centre-half. I just think him and Mings would not be a good balance.

[Meanwood Villa]

Franky, since you lot coughed up the lead against Chelsea, everything's gone to pot. How will you be apologising to the entire Villa fanbase?

[cdbearsfan]

They've probably still got credit in the bank after getting rid of Tony Xia and Steven Gerrard, tbf.
