Aston Villa v West Brom Saturday 20th September 2015

Local Derby time is here again against the Tesco lot from down the road.
My prediction is 3-1 Villa.

Thanks for starting the thread, mate. And I concur; we're going to give this lot a hiding.

Oh yes mate. A right royal walloping

Mmmm, sorry to piss on the parade but I'm not convinced we're getting anything here, let alone handing out a thumping.

After the Leicester debacle I'm not even confident of beating the SHA filth, I'm afraid. That was a piss-awful performance by the players that compounded some piss-awful decisions by Sherwood. Either one of those piss-awfuls gets replicated against either team and the result will be the same. We've just got to do better than that naive shite that was served up last time out.

A little birdy tells me
Guzan, Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Amavi, Westwood, Gueye, Sinclair, Gil, Agbonglahor, Gestede.

Are you telling me that certain "injury doubts" are not in fact doubts?

Villa win. I don't think Albion look up to much, they won't go down but they won't pull up any trees. 

And I'm sorry, I'm all for not slagging off Villa fans but if you predict is to lose in a Derby I can't accept that. Fuck being "realistic" it's a derby against our local neighbours. If you don't think we can win don't go. At all.

I think we will get a 1-0 win.

I'm afraid I've lost some confidence in Timbo. He talks about a losing mentality and he has to take his share of the blame for that.

These players (with maybe the exception of Gabby and Jack) have no conception of just how important these local derbies are to us fans. I think they will bottle it.

Richards and Lescott both Villa fans. 
Sinclair has played in Derbies before. 
Hutton has played in the Old Firm.

Head 1-1. Heart 7-0. Gut 0-3.

Pretty much me too. After that shower and ineptness against Leicester I must say it seems he is a Lambert level manager just a different philosophy. Which is a shame, cause I like how direct and no bullshit he is.

Shame Traore hasn't made it if that above team proves correct as he really is a game changer.

What's happened to Grealish? Surely full of confidence after last week?

It's not the best of teams DAn but I trust your source.

first goal is vital, Albion get it , I fear a 0-1 reverse, if Villa get it, Albion have to come out resulting in a home win.

If I was neutral betting man though, it has 0-0 written all over it

You've got all bases covered there, Bill.

I would be surprised with this lineup as I feel Grealish plays, considering Gil hasnt trained all week also. (Gueye fit?)

Actual team:

Guzan, Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Amavi, Sanchez, Gil, Westwood, Grealish, Gabby, Sinclair.

Time for PDC to stop listening to the voices in his head?

Fans need to give Gabby a break, he did alright last week vs Leicester set up the Gil goal. I'm not being funny but we should be more worried about Ayew who we paid a large fee for and looks absolutely sh*te!

I really don't agree with the tactics. Get Veretout on. Run a three man midfield, let Sinclair or Gabby mid mid striker and get the other one off. And stop hoofing towards Evans. Keep the football on the pitch. We got Grealish and Gil ffs.

Once again, when we need a good save, we're stuck with this bald POS.

1-0 baggies... i dont wanna be negative, but this really is a must win. for confidence, if nothing else.
cannot lose this...

The next 45 will define TS Villa career. I just can't see fans sticking by him with a loss here.

Boring, unimaginative 1st half. One decent run by Gabby the only positive. Stupid mistakes again. Amavi losing the ball in the lead up to their goal and another deflection!
No creativity, Pulis will just shut up shop here and will get the 1-0 win if we don't change things. Sinclair largely ineffective also.

Oh great Gestede coming on. Timmy really doesn't have a clue. We've lost already.
