Jareth Posted September 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2016 I predict that every player in that team will be desperate to stop any and every attack AND our forwards will put a few away too. I think there are valid reasons to predict a big score here. I'm saying 4-1 us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think once we batter somebody to get over the hump we will go on a pretty good run. Fingers crossed this'll be the one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6065_Villa Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah I think we'll win this 3-1 then follow it up with our first away win in ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Must win game. We have dropped too many points already from winning positions. We are now 6 points off 2nd spot and cannot afford to let this get much more if we harbour hopes of coming back up, which we should be given the money we spent. SHA are even 5 pts ahead of us and what have they spent. We have the players, now lets start getting the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted September 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I think our forward line will give them trouble. I can see Harlee Dean being given the run-around something rotten by our pace. Pitting Gestede against Dean might be a shrewd move as he tries to impose himself on attackers and has it within him to lose his rag when he can't. Having said that, they're not conceding much at the moment so despite their recent departures at the back, they still seem fairly solid. Hogan is banging them in for fun at the moment so we'll need to keep him quiet and we'll need someone to sit on MacLeod as he seems to have started really well this season (although he's due an injury as he's been fit for a fortnight now). I don't think this is as easy a match as some seem to be thinking. If we come out with a win, I'll be happy.

ender4 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Each game becomes more and more important as we can't seem to win. I'm very nervous, but we should now have a stronger team for this match (hopefully everyone uninjured and fit). 1 win in 7 must become 2 wins in 8. No excuses left, and i'm not sure Xia would accept anything less. I don't like to use the word 'must-win' this early in the season... but its all about confidence. Win this game and we start to flow. Lose this game and the fragile confidence we have could be shattered and not recover for weeks, by which time it will be too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 We really need some confidence and winning this by a few goals would do just that. 5-0 Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I would make a few changes for certain Steer Bacuna Elphick Baker Cissokho Gardner Jedinak Adomah McCormack Ayew Gestede freshen things up by resting De Laet, Grealish and Kodija and dropping Westwood(one day it will happen) and Chester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Kodjia has to start. Just imagine what he could with a referee that actually lets him move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 An early "must win" game for us and to do that comfortably we will need to have a 2-goal cushion for the last 5 minutes. 2-0 would do me nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We seem very confident we're going to hammer these. Hope we don't end up with egg on our face. If we play like we did against forest I think it could be 4 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We are more than capable of beating any team in this league, we just need to string a few wins together to build confidence and belief. Winning needs to become a habit again - hopefully this is the game that kick-starts our season and we go on a run. Would be nice to have a couple of convincing wins going into the Newcastle game.

Lomaski Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I can't see where the optimism is coming from. As long as our defence continues to play like school girls, we will always be up against it when playing teams with any attacking ability. Rotherham and Derby had nothing going forward, hence clean sheets. Brentford are scoring a few and therefore I can see a score draw as our best result. If we start putting more of our chances away, we could win 4-2 or a similar scoreline but i've seen nothing to suggest we will start doing that.
