Another loss and that norwich game will be edgy and nervy. Nows the time to find form. Bent has to start too and does anyone know if we'll have stevie Ireland back in time?

People keep saying about worse teams than us down there, but I fear those sides can turn us over in the all important 6pointers. Look what happened at St. Marys..

Worrying times, I know we have to give Lambert time, but time wont make any difference with a squad like ours. We need to play Bent, Nzogbia week in week out. 34m on the bench is stupid when we're just losing games anyway. We may aswell lose them with at least fielding players who have experience and can make things happen.

Ar least Ireland, Dunne may be back after the break. Having them back in the squad will at least add a bit more experience. My, how we have fallen

Didnt we get a few warnings from genk fans that benteke misses a lot of sitters. Cant argue with them after last couple a games. Our squad is shocking, how some people keep saying we'll be fine is beyond me.

Havent seen any of the game but after reading on here about the sitters we've missed its no surprise to see us 2 down. Its a welcome international break..

Theyve started to show some form, but the fact Norwich and Tesco have gone their and took a point should give us belief plus the extra rest period we've had.

Still, gonna go with my head;

Spuds 3

Villa 0

Does anyone know what he said after the game? Some people were saying that he mouthed off after the game?

Nuh he didnt mouth off, just stated its been a difficult couple of weeks having lost the captaincy and finding out he wouldnt be playing yesterday. The interview is on sky sports site.

2 in 2 for Bent in the league, I think its clear the front 2 to start at Spurs should be Bent and Gabby. They looked decent at the start of last season together. CNZ should start too imo

Thought that was in!

We dont create anywhere near enough for a home team and the few chances we do get we fluff. I feel sorry for each and every season ticket holder. Another miserable day at the office it would seem

Get DB9 on

Gabby back with a bang just in time for sunday. And we know how he luvs a derby

Dowie even said it was their first attack its been all us. At least we're having a go!

At least the bloosers just got dumped on 5-0 at home

Tekkers time to shine

When was the last time we managed back to back wins? Arsenal and Liverpool at the back end of 2010/11 was it? Time to set that straight.

Think we'll continue where we left off and all that, good work ethic and genuine goal threat again..think we'll see our 1st pen of the season 2day

Southampton 1-3 Villa

Clark

Bent

Holman

Baros vs. Pompey

Gabby vs. Everton

A. Young vs. Newcastle

Heskey vs. Pompey

Bent vs. Man City

Benteke vs. Swansea

Most our attackers notch on debut

Good to see him get his goal after that miss 5 mins before. Impressed me, looked lively and intelligent (not in the face).

I worry a Man Utd will steal him in a couple years. Becoming one of my favorite players. Another solid display and some of his touches and runs out of defence were brilliant

Get in

Our new forwards have a good record of scoring debut goals in recent times (Baros, Gabby, Bent, even Heskey pfftttt), dont know if Benteke will start or not though. Expecting good things today from Gabby, although thats when he normally disappoints.

im going for 2-1 Villa today

Haha ^^

Exactamundo

I have seen us win 2 Coca Cola Cups in my time. Thats it.

I want more glory than that in my lifetime, so yes it would be nice for us to get a huge cash injection. We would all love of we did a Citeh, Chelsea, PSG, Anzhi, etc. (If u say no, you're lieing).

Its the only way to compete to actually win things.

I remember how excited I was when I heard a billionaire was taking over. I was thinkin its finally our turn in the sun...

I said no and spent a fair old time explaining why. Am I telling a lie, or do I just have a different opinion?

I never saw you're reply , what im getting at is if we had a squad like citehs, cl football and prem titles in the cabinet you wouldnt want that because of the way we got there? I just want to see my team winning, competing at the highest level, we're not gonna get there any other way are we so fook it- city fans are hella more happy than villa fans, and thats what counts in being a fan surely? Being happy and rubbing it in everyones faces

The only time I like international break is when our squad is depleted with injury. But this one came at the wrong time with Gabby already back and our football starting to take shape

1 goal 2 assists.

Better players last season - Given, Clark, Herd, Petrov, Keane, Gabby, Bent, Weimann

People forget Stan's input last season before he was struck down- he was immense and enjoying his best season for us. He was player of the season for me
