Will be a much better game of football at Wembley imo. Pullis just grinds out results with that freak Traore which you just have to double up on. Fulham are a more rounded team but I think they won't be able to handle the pressure. We thrashed Wolves and I can't see why we can't do the same to Fulham.

They have "The Sky Bet Championship Play-Off semi-final is finely poised heading into Tuesday’s second leg – and we’re calling on our supporters to stay off the pitch at all times in the vital decider against Middlesbrough. We appreciate the game will be a cauldron of emotion throughout the 90 minutes but we’re urging our fans to respect the ground regulations and consider the potential wider consequences of such action to themselves and Aston Villa. Please remember that those who encroach on the pitch risk banning orders as well as a criminal conviction, while the club itself could also face significant penalties as a result. You’ve been amazing all season - home and away - and we kindly ask for your support in this matter and request that you remain in the stands at all times."

I think it's barmy that people wouldn't mind us going up. Its effects everything! The fan base will become smaller, the youth teams and the academy don't have anywhere near the resources. It will create more jobs in the area too as we will have more money. It affects Birmingham as a whole in my opinion. Players like Grealish, O'Hare RHM have haven't been affected but the next generation of youth players might if we stay in the championship. The premier league is argueably more competitive than ever. It used to only be top 4 teams that mattered. Also do you think teams like Burton would prefer to play in the championship or league 1 and win more games? We're in the same situation.

How many games did it for us to make up 7 points on second a month ago?

GAME OVER

The promotion party piss up is a tad early.. do you know something we don't @BOF

Sometimes I wonder why he doesn't just dribble past the defence and toe poke it past the keeper but then again we already have a player that can do that

To think Kodija is still to come back too

Jack needs more options but wow what a game. I think we edge the better team ATM but that's two prem quality teams and what football is all about. No defending for a point, just two teams playing decent football. C'MON VILLA! LETS DO THIS!

This is the part that confuses me, why would a player like neves want to join Wolves at 20k a week. When supposedly bigger clubs were after him, a back hander would make sense? Sorry for my ignorance if it comes across like that

Can't believe how cautious you lot are being. 2-0 Villa and the dogs will go running awAy with their tails between their legs.

In rehab he would be doing fitness while injured, so the fact he is back full time training, I say 2 weeks before he is on the bench

Voted

YAAAASSS KING KODJ IS BACK

Can anyone summarise the stories of what wolves are doing.

Exactly, if the club don't have the same ambition as Jack, I wouldn't blame him if he moved to a competing at the highest level in 3 years time. If he keeps improving and working hard Time Sherwood wouldn't be wrong with the 60m valuation

He is our best striker in the team, I think he is good enough. Has more footballing talent than Gabby and he used to score 10 goals a season

Dunno if many of you have ever tried kick ups or playing football with a basket ball but it's bloody heavy compared to a football. Used to get a right telling off by the PE teachers. Also the fact he was jogging, dribbling with quick feet for turns and step overs last week, I think he won't be too far away. I think Bruce is playing this down as he doesn't want to rush him back at all but he'll feature towards the end of April.

My friends a spurs fan and think Alli is very overrated. He is anonymous a lot apparently, where as our Gresford is our clog and nothing works without it.

Mid week KO, is it on Sky?

It was only 2 weeks ago people were saying he makes us a better team and preferred him over Kodija

At the start of the season I'm talking first 3 games when we looked a shambles, he was one of our better players. He has put in a shift once or twice since but other than that it's been like we're playing with 10 men. I agree with Josh that he should only be a DM, he isn't talented enough to play any further forward.

Just a feeling, don't think he travelled with the squad yesterday. Without him and adomah, I'd take a draw right now

I'd have a fit kodija back in the team in a heart beat

Well he is kicking a ball again.
