PieFacE Posted April 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2014 Let's just try and beat Hull on saturday. They are safe and hopefully will want to stay fresh for the Cup Final. And their away record is shocking as well Does your team have a striker that can't score? A defence that can't keep clean sheets? A terrible away record? Don't worry, soon you'll be visiting Villa Park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The FA cup isnt for two weeks after our game, theres no way bruce is going to come to vp and hand us the game, he'll want to win especially against us. No doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah it won't be an easy game but it's our last chance to get some points. We could win but there's nothing to suggest we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Let's just try and beat Hull on saturday. They are safe and hopefully will want to stay fresh for the Cup Final. Won't they have players wanting to play their best to ensure getting in to the starting line up for that final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Bruce will totally fire up his team against us - he hates us. He was a perfectly nice gentleman when I spoke to him until I mentioned I was a Villa fan. He turned his back on me and conversation ended rather abruptly.

Won't they have players wanting to play their best to ensure getting in to the starting line up for that final? No - not a factor - Long & Jelavic are cup tied. Otherwise you could think they take it easy - so they don't pick up injuries for cup final - but even that doesn't apply for those two. Keep it tight and hope they take there foot off the gas at around 60 minutes.... Bruce will totally fire up his team against us - he hates us. He was a perfectly nice gentleman when I spoke to him until I mentioned I was a Villa fan. He turned his back on me and conversation ended rather abruptly. He has also as manager never lost at VP...

useless Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Regardless of how badly Hull want to win we still should be capable of beating them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The thing about him never having lost at VP is wrong, isn't it? Wasn't he manager of Blose when Sir Gary Cahill scored "that" goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Regardless of how badly Hull want to win we still should be capable of beating them. Yes I thought the very same thing when Palace, West Ham, Stoke and Fulham rocked up to VP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they are shit away from home means they’ll win for sure, ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think Steve Bruce barring injuries knows his line up for the FA Cup final, its about players risking themselves in those 50-50's. Long will have a field day as he always does, but some of ours have to step up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 But If long and jelavic can't play in then final. Won't he want to try out other players, now that Hull are safe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 But If long and jelavic can't play in then final. Won't he want to try out other players, now that Hull are safe??? I would say he would want to win his remaining games and finish as high up the table as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted April 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2014 Look at us all, quivering over the thought of Hull fielding their strongest team against us at Villa Park. God, we're shit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Bruce did mention after the Fulham game that its hard to keep the players focused on the league with the FA cup coming up. I know if i was in with a good chance to play in the Cup Final i wouldn't be going in for to many 50/50's as the likely hood of this chance coming up again is virtually zero.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I can see both sides of the argument, and we should be capable of winning. However we should have been capable of getting at least 3 points over the last 6 games and we haven't, and it's beause we are shit. I've seen nothing to suggest that will change, especially with our strikers being out of form/not good enough.
