One bad omen.

Tonight's referee is Peter Bankes.  He has presided over 3 of our games this season. Only Stephen Martin has more (4), but that's not the bad thing.

The 3 games he refereed were the following:

2-0 defeat at Preston.
2-0 defeat at Leeds.
2-0 defeat at Newcastle.

The one caveat is 2 of those were on TV.

So hopefully this game will be a ...

If you aren't going to provide a stat on the percentage of our games he has officiated then frankly, I'm not interested.

Hopefully we see a squad without the wasters in it, Bacuna, Green and RHM should for me all feature if only on the bench.

Whilst there is still even the slightest chance of play-offs I can't see SB blooding anyone unless he simply has to.

Unfortunately I can't see us winning this one, our form lately has been dire. Whilst we will probably yet again score the most goals we just won't be able to keep hold of the ball long enough to see the game out.

30% - 70% to QPR

Thanks for that armed with confirmation bias I will be sure to moan at him extra specially early and unjustifiably

Just on the whole possession discussion that's currently stinking the place out going on.

Here are our league games this season ranked in order of possession (stats from Sky Sports) and colour-coded on how we did.

None of our league games this season have had more than 4 goals in them.  We're the only Championship side yet to be involved in a game with 5 or more goals in the league.

As for possession chants

We don't need the ball, we don't need the baaaaallll. We're Aston Villa! We don't need the ball.

And to give you a stark reminder of how far we've come this season.  Just take a look at the starting line-up for our first game this season against Sheffield Wednesday.  In hindsight it's the stuff of nightmares.

We've come a long long way together.

That midfield.
