Cardiff City v Aston Villa Match thread

[deadbuzzardalive]

No questoin about it, if we're serious about automatic promotion,this should be an easy-breezy win for us, I'm going for 0-3 and O'Hare to get his first goal for the club, Hogan and Agbonlahor with the other two.

Johnstone
Bree Chester Terry Taylor
Whealan
Onomah Hourihane
O'Hare Agbonlahor
Hogan

I'm thinking this will be a tough outing and they are possibly an improved side. I think - sadly - another 1-1.
I'm also wondering if SB will sacrifice hourihane for onomah, given the young lad's performance in midweek. Be great to see others get some game time as well. Would love to squeak a 1-2 but head says not.

2-1 Villa

2 nil Villa for me, I think we will see a big change this week.

[Villa_Dan]

1-0 Villa

Agree with Deadbuzzard, we have to win these to get automatic. Will we? I think we have the players but not sure we have the team - 1-1 for me. I see a slowish start to the season, following that disappointing second half last week.

3-1 Villa win for me

[Trotters]

0-0 or 1-1. Steve Bruce does not inspire me with any confidence. I've given up on us ever giving anyone a hiding again, unfortunately.

Disappointed to not see either of Davis or Hepburn-Murphy on the bench, makes me wonder that Bruce only brought on the youngsters on, on Wednesday, because he feared we were going to lose, and if we did he could blame it on inexperience.

I agree they should have been in the mix, but the conclusion is absurd.

Now now fella. Dont get depressed just yet. Wait until the final whistle

[deadbuzzardalive]

On second thoughts I was going to edit it out, but really I wouldn't put it past a football manager to think like that, in this day and age, more often than not they're all about excuses and their own reputation.

Fucking Huttpn. He's worse than herpes

[deadbuzzardalive]

I think the bench does show that we will probably be in for another striker, especially with Kodjia apprently being out for longer than expected, then taking into account he won't have had a pre-season, so will take a while to get up to speed.

Need Hogan and Agbonlahor to have good games today, and it's about time Lansbury started offereing a goal threat too.

Periscope link not the best quality but better than nothing...

Same old same old.....

[VTID85]

Fuck me we look horrific at the back. 1-0 to Cardiff.

[deadbuzzardalive]

Our final ball in the final third is really poor, not sure what Lansbury brings to the team over Hourihane, and Hutton is getting exposed for pace.

[deadbuzzardalive]

And as I write that Cardiff score, missed the goal, but apparently Hutton was at fault.

[NARLA24]

Fucksake

He is well and truly slapping everyone in the face who has defended him.

[deadbuzzardalive]

Onomah looks our comfortably our best player.

[VTID85]

Onomah looks our comfortably our best player.

By far. Our "experienced" contingent are an omnifuckingshambles.

[Guest]

Everyone can see Hutton is fucking shit and one of the reasons we have been shit for seasons. YET THIS FUCKING MORON KEEPS PICKING HIM.

[Guest]

Once again Lansbury shit. Hutton shit. I just don't understand how professional football people can't see in eons what took me 5 minutes.
