I'd have agreed with you the day before yesterday, but I don't think there's a team in the league that are more about pace than Fulham. It could have been a one off I guess and obviously it'll be an away game, but I think it augurs well. I'm more worried about Jota and Adams to be honest - on paper, it's very difficult to see a defeat here - but this is the antithesis of a paper game.

Fulham tried to use pace on the break from deep, Vassell plays on the shoulder and tries to use pace behind which I don’t think Fulham really tried or managed to do.

I think you're right, but I think we play such a deep line that we make that more difficult for them. There's a natural nervousness about these games, whether we like it or not, there's more than three points at stake, I'm having to fight a feeling of confidence at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In turn I think you are right there. I think the positive for us is that due to recent results there is less pressure on us, the pressure for a result is on them. (I’m talking about result pressure from a football perspective not fan pressure because of the occasion) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted October 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have few concerns about Sha as an attacking threat. They have scored 8 goals in 13 games and arguably not come up against a defence as good as ours. In Vassell they do have a pace merchant but you need a bit of nous to go with it to get the better of John Terry who reads the game better than most. I think this game will suit us and especially being away as they will feel they have to come onto us and we can then exploit that space. We score early and this could be another Barnsley or Burton. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right, if we can score early they might implode. However, you know it's the only decent crowd they'll get at the sty all season and they always raise their game so in my eyes form goes out the window, it's whoever turns up/wants it most on the day...

You'd have to hope, and I expect, that we'll be as up for the game as they are and will want it as much as they do. It then comes down to who has the better players and we win that all day long.

KJT123 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 These games always tend to turn into a bit of a slog - I really hope we can just forget about the occasion and just try and beat them with quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post omariqy Posted October 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2017 I hate these games. My daughter's (re-arranged) party is on Sunday at 2pm. Poor organising by me. However, if we win she is not wearing that pretty dress the Mrs picked out but her full Villa kit. Believe dat. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2017 If it was any other club in their position I'd be confident of a win given our form. But it's SHA, and form goes out of the window. We should win, no question. But I'm not confident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1986 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I just want us to play attacking football, not what we did against Wolves, take the game to them and cause them problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
