As a result, they're increasingly suffering with away fans buying tickets for home stands and then acting out. I'm sure there will be plenty of Villa dotted around the ground (I know I will be in the New Road) but the locals are understandably frustrated at the amount of away fans openly giving it the biggun in their stands. It's a lovely club that is really welcoming and do a huge amount of community work. Please do try to be respectful of that if you're there (when we win). UTV! And if you need any advice on parking (for which my advice would be "good luck"), transport, food or drinks, give me a shout. I stayed in the Premier Inn a few weeks back and went walking/running most nights around there. I can also confirm that parking will be pretty much impossible. Is the road alongside Gunnersbury Park, or even the car park at the top of the park an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If the comments about Bruce wanting to run a 4-4-2 are right, I think we will see this: The midfield looks good, but I worry we will get exposed defensively. I really think the 4-3-3 suits us better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted January 27, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd stick Grealish in front of that midfield and have Codger up on his tod. That way we're playing with 11 and no-one is in Codger's way. I don't care what effort Gabby put in against Preston. We murdered them first half and his missed chances were the difference in the end. We'd have been out of sight if we'd have someone who could **** score up front. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to park, best bet is to park near a bus route. There's no tube particularly close but a short bus ride from Ealing, isleworth, Chiswick or Kew would be your best bet.

rodders0223 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 A win will be massive here, right from the off with the new lads and would instill some confidence right through the group. I don't performances matter here, just 3 points. Playing well and surrendering at home to Preston boosts nobody but even just scraping a win here will give everybody a big lift. PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!!!

pacbuddies Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I wouldn't let Gabby anywhere near the starting line up. Total spent force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I expect all the newbies to start barring Bree think we should just forget the play offs fir now and just concentrate on beating teams then if we hit a bit if firm then look at play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I actually hope Bree starts this one. I expect it to be Hutton but do hope it's Bree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just found out this one is on the telly in Sweden Will be interesting to see if we can play with a bit more purpose now that we have an entirely new midfield and new RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think the 4-3-3 suits us better. Is this Gabby fellow above another new signing? If not, I think I would prefer someone/anyone else to start. I would play Jedinak in front of the back four and would start Kodjia on his own up front with support from midfield runners. I would also start the Iceman rather than Green. We would then have Jack & Green available to come off the bench to ram home our advantage at some point in the second half. I would have took a point from this one before we bought a midfield but I think Brentford will now do well to keep it down to a two goal defeat. A three goal winning margin for the Villa!!

TrentVilla Posted January 30, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2017 This will be an interesting one. In the game at Villa Park they had a little ginger hobbit (Wood I think was his name or Froddo or something) and he completely ran the game. We never ever got close to him. That game was the final straw for me with RDM so absent was our midfield. It is early days of the new one but I'll be very interested to see how they do and how they handle the lad from the shires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Having good vibes about this one. I hope we are given a reminder of how much we missed Kodjia over the last 3 weeks. i suspect Hourihane and Lansbury will be the only new outfield signings that start.
