Get in!!

We've scored 12 in 16 league games 10 in 3 cup ties.. On current form of course Norwich are favourites with home advantage too, but anything can happen. Would like to see Lambert go with a trial run the of Bent, Benteke and Agbonlahor up top with Ireland coming in for Westwood. Attack from the off and id be hopeful of a positive result. Norwich 1-2 Villa (AET) Bent Benteke

Who voted Bent MOTM lol

Fact is after the midweek Sunderland - Reading game we will more than likely be out of the bottom 3 by virtue of goal difference assuming Sundlerland win which is most likely. Not a great place to be with the tricky fixtures coming up. We did need a few more points from the last 3 but im pleased we remained unbeaten. There are signs of improvement, we're probably doing all we can with the poor squad we have at the moment. January window is going to be the most important in memory, have to go and get something next week at Anfield, which im hopeful of a surprise. Hopefully be going there with a semi-final place booked too

Someone has to put an end to this run Norwich are on!

Dunno how Norwich have hit this sort of form..have to put a stop to it Tuesday. Been impressed on the whole with this 1st half display. Think Ireland could do a job if he gets on

Good start, need to score first

Any news on Vlaar yet? Wonder if Bent will be in the squad again

Yeah it is, and that was the Boggies who managed to scrape up that year

If Vlaar is fit id go with him and Baker as the two centre backs. Otherwise we'll get totally bullied and dicked. Theyve hit form too. Can only see the game being a classic case of men vs. boys unfortunately.. Villa 1 - 2 Stoke

Crazy game

Would have taken a point before hand, so gotta be happy on that front but another lacklustre performance with negative substitutions leaves you slightly annoyed, yet they done the job clearly marked out by Lambert which was not to lose. 3 games unbeaten is a nice feeling for once, but we may regret not going for it more later in the season. Didnt think we'd pick up 4pts with that back 4 in Vlaar's absence, so credit to the kids

Thats what annoys me. Lambert must see we need some composure on the ball but doesnt make the necessary changes

Lets go for the second, great start

He earned his wages just now.. Hnmmm, would have liked to see Ireland start, but lets see how it pans out

Well Lambert did say he's not for sale and is currently contracted til 2015. Maybe he is just coming up with a masterplan to re-instill some hunger into DB9. Or he's on ze way out. Either way, who knows what grows up my nose

This

Yeah Bannan must have been practicing because the ones he put in with whip and pace were more threatening than any other hes delivered this season.. just needs to be more consistant with them. Baker should have done better with the one he got on the end of

Think we'll lose in all honesty. A win would be massive though. We played well there last year I remember, best peformance ive seen from Delph in a Villa shirt. They had a man sent off and then Dunne Dunne us with a customary 93rd min O.G.

Why is there a white border around the badge this season. It looks so bulky and tacky now

We have played shit but could have scored at least 3. Sort of game we'll end up losing 1-0 now. We are abysmal, how can RL see the football we play now and think yeah, this is alright? Sell up im sick of being unentertained by what looks like a League 1 playing staff.

This will be a championship fixture next season

This will be a championship fixture next season

Those pictures they showed probably were from earlier on, and he probably did leave as soon as he found out he had no part to play

Just stuck telly on seen that teamsheet and theres no excitement from me. Its like a fukkin reserve game. How can we have this side now its embarrassing. Good to ses Martin Laursen, what a ledge, could of done with him at the back Think we'll lose 2-0
