Sorry to say I am expecting a defeat tonight.

Hope I am wrong and would gladly take a point.

2-0 loss

[deadbuzzardalive]

It's a must not lose game for me, otherwise we're showing signs of following the same old pattern under Bruce, that is, going on a short unbeaten run and then following it up with a series of disappointing results, hence us treading water and not really progressing up the table, we need these runs that we go on to last longer (kind of stating the obvious really).

I think I'd stick with the same starting eleven from the last two games, although I can understand the temptation to bring in one of Jedinak or Tuanzebe to replace Bjarnason, as we night need a bit more protection in front of the back four tonight.

Hepburn-Murphy and O'Hare won't be involved as they played yesterday, Green should be on the bench though and as the season progresses I think he's going to be an important player for us.

A good Villa win for me tonight is a must and i fully expect us to come out on top handsomely
2 nil Villa.

[Villa_Dan]

A tight loss. 2-1 Sheffield

[De Kuip]

0-1 Villa win for me. Hoping the weekend cup game will mean they tire and I think we'll score late in the game.

[achilles]

I would like to see us win this game and see no reason why we can't, lets keep the pressure on the top.

Villa to win 2-1, with the normal bite your fingernails last 20 minutes holding on!

Just to cheer you all up, it's on Sky...

Fortunately no changes, but I'm astounded this Man Utd loanee walks past everyone to the bench.

McGrath I utterly hate Steve Bruce. Total bag of shit. And I hate these small time loans with passion.

Marvellous

[Saunders82]

I'm expecting a tight game but hope we can stand up to em and show our steel and class, at this point it don't matter how the wins come so long as they keep coming.

[Boldfinger]

We will give them a right good spanking.
Come on you villa boys.

[achilles]

The subs confuse me, 4 DM, what is all that about Bruce?

No attacking options except Davis, lets go for a draw then Bruce!

[deadbuzzardalive]

We're making a team that's only won once in five look like Real Madrid, absolutely shambolic when you consider the magnitude of what's at stake, need to wake up and asap, or this could be the start of a disastrous week for us.

Just taking the sting out of em, we will push back in the second half, I think Jack will smash in a worldy to give em two fingers, that could open the floodgates.

[deadbuzzardalive]

It's like watching Man City play against a championship club, we really are blowing a big chance here to show that we're serious about second place. I'd think about bringing on Jedinak, might release the attacking players a bit more.

I am sure loans aren't preferred choice of Bruce.

We have a winning team and loanee who has been here under a week. He plays DM , who exactly has he walked past to get on the bench ? - we have two other dm's one is playing and the other is also on the bench.

[achilles]

The only consolation in that half is that we are not losing and we can't play as badly in the second half, can we?

[smetro]

get Jedi on - take the point

[Guest]

Really poor. We are back to hoffball tonight. No movement or urgency off ball at all.

[Wookster]

Get the fuck in Snoddy!!!

[Saunders82]

Snoddyyyyyyyyy

[Saunders82]

Tough game but we stood up to em and got the result. UTV

[smetro]

[Villa_Dan]

Expected a tight loss so absolutely pleased with a tight win instead!
