A'Villan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Nervous about this one, as I tend to be when there's anything at stake for Villa. Automatic promotion is so important this year, we just can't afford not to bag 3 points in this game. The more points we gain, the less pressure on the team, and I feel that will be more beneficial than any hindrance for us this season. I don't see complacency being an issue, rather chasing bets when the chips are down. So let's hope it doesn't come to that. I don't care who we see on the pitch, as long as there's cohesion and chemistry. Anyone know if this will be shown on AVTV to international viewers?

Skills Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 perhaps give Adomah a rest and start Green for this one, might give him the kick start again and continue that vein of form from earlier in the year bench of Bunn, Taylor, Axel, Jedi, Lansbury, Adomah and Grabban please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 For me has to be a win as I think we might drop points against the blosers as its always a tight game then away to fulham which will definitely be points dropped. if we won next two and got a point at Fulham I would be delighted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't done that since Ron Saunders was in charge of this great club. That year, we won the league. Oh yes I remember it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 This has to be 6 in a row, we can not lose this and we definitely cant lose against the shit. I forecast 7 wins in a row. I remember good times like this and still loving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost thinking about betting on it such is my certainty. We are Aston Villa, have you forgotten the years and years of pain and misery? If I've learnt one thing from life it's that when you think the tables have turned its because the leg has fallen off and you're about to land face first on the ground. wait, so are you on top of the table in this analogy? what are you doing on the table? i need answers..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I'm sat on the table, eating jam on toast whilst reading the Pink and laughing manically at the apparent fact that we are the best form team in the entire country. Isnt that how everyones coping with the current situation? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate all this massive confidence almost as much as I hate the angry meltdown when we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I think Snodgrass will need a rest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Forget the negativity, forget the years of hurt, forget it's the hope that kills you. I am absolutely **** buzzing for this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They are a very poor team. Burton would do well be top 8-9 in league one with their squad. We should treat them with the respect they deserve though and then be ruthless and go out and win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 Difficult one to judge this. I think i'd keep a winning team and not change anything, but i'm cautious of fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted February 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Only Kodjia injured, so an otherwise full squad to pick from. I would stay with the same lineup: Johnstone Elmo. Chester. Terry. Hutton Thor Snoddy. Hourihane. Grealish. Adomah Hogan And Grabban on the bench to come on and score our fifth. Edit: Steve says Grabban won’t be involved. Edited February 2, 2018 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 With Grabban set to miss out I would imagibne be same line up and subs although i would dump whelan and put green on the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 I’ll be at this one so I’m naturally feeling more pessimistic than usual. I’m hoping for a comfortable win, but would gladly take a scrappy hard fought 1-0 win. The three points is all that matters. I’d go with the same starting line up, hopefully with Green, or maybe O’Hare on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I expect nothing more than a win. Anything else is a disaster. The table does not lie. They are bottom and there for a reason, ie; they are not very good. This is a massive opportunity and one we must take. Simple as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like the idea. I don't buy that Albert is fatigued, he just had a poor game. He needs to get back in form, and what's a better opportunity than against the worst team in the division.

Well, since we're not top of the table (at least, not yet!), the analogy is not applicable! Phew, dodged that one, it will be a victory after all. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
