Christ on a bike..get behind the team ffs. Swear it was barca we were playing.

Let's not go down that road now eh. Jack has played well but their has been many outstanding performances during the run we've been on. Not been a one man show by any means . If we get beat today we get haven't been good enough today. We have what we have. Let's go with it. Every team gets injuries.

Id start lansbury IF he can manage it. He's better than Hourihane ( who will probably come in for Jack) in that advanced role.

We are bigging them up way too much. Good team but c'mon. We should be looking to beat every team in this league at Villa park.

We were 2-1 up. Was a cracking save, great reflexes. Had to of seen it late .

We put 5 past them last year at VP. Let them worry. Good team yeah but i wouldn't be having sleepless nights thinking about them.

My point is that it's far too simplistic to state that the reason we haven't been on it is because hourihane is starting. That's nonsense. I'm not conors biggest fan but could you at least admit he isn't to blame for how below par grealish and abraham have been. Next you'll be saying he was at fault for the penalty.

So he gets a free pass for the things he done wrong first half ?. His work rate, delivery. Hourihane scores goals, what's your point ?

Sorry but that's just too easy. Jack isn't infallible ya know but nobody will have a pop at how he plays. Pretty abject thus far, let's call a spade a spade.

I actually think lansbury could do a job instead of Grealish tonight. Jack looked tired on Saturday, needs to be on it for Bristol city. A fit lansbury is a very capable replacement tonight.

Kodjia is too lazy to start against a team who you would imagine will come flying out of the blocks and work pretty hard. Think it's a game where our talent only dictates things after our work rate matches theirs.

Saturday is huge now. Hope we don't take our eye off the ball tomorrow night though.

He's showing a great knack and willingness to get into the box at the right time. He's going very well is Callum. Will do his confidence the world of good compared to staying in the u23s

I think if we get an early goal it will soften their cough. They'll be up for and had a great win yesterday but we take the crowd away from them, make it a football game and we'll win.

Game is made for someone like lansbury.

Smith seems to pay massive emphasis on training and application. And rightly so. Could be miles off here but maybe he's been a bit of a dosser. Doesn't work hard enough. Could well be injured but funny there was no mention of it Thursday.

Be surprised if Huddersfield get remotely close to the PL again for years, even with the parachute payments. They struck lucky with Wagner and it worked. This new guy - I'm not so sure. Fulham will struggle next year. Sessegnon surely off, Mitrovic probably too. Cardiff will not bother me in the slightest if they drop too.

We said that last season too. I think we'll lose grealish whether we go up or not this time. I'll be gutted if we don't go up but not overly worried. We are in good shape.

Have a feeling Leeds will knick 2nd, probably on the last day. Sheffield United have a tough run coming up too. I 100% think we'll go to elland road and win though.

I'll be honest i never felt confident in the week building up to the Fulham game. They were favourites. Played great football. We were patchy. Limped over the line against Boro. And 10 minutes into the final we couldn't get near the ball, knew it would be a long afternoon. Last April when were a shoe in for the playoffs, i wanted to avoid them. Should we get there this year, i think we'll be a different animal. And we should hope that Leeds and Sheffield United scrap it out for that 2nd place because whoever misses out will be distraught after been in around it for so long that to get ready for a playoff a week or so later is mentally jaring.

Meh. When i read the headline online Villa injury update i was expecting " Well Henri's just tweaked his hamstring in training "

I think it will be a fantastic game. I'd be surprised if they've 2nd sown up by then, think they'll have to go to the last day to get it. We'll probably need to win that game to get playoffs. Think we'll beat Norwich on the last day. They'll be champions by then.

I'd **** love Leeds at elland road. Oddly enough, i wouldn't want them at Wembley. Also, it's the worst kept secret that our game against them on the 27th scheduled for 3pm will be moved for tv. Since we have been relegated every game we've played them has been on tv. Liverpool play Huddersfield the night before, the Friday, so that's out. So probably the 27th at 5.30.
