Oh good....the tactics of small heath won't have to be tempered! We have con air like planning off the pitch then they put someone like that on the pitch to ref the game. It's not as if any perceived injustices will inflame any tension. All you ask for is a bit of common sense! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Smith is hopeful for both Chester and McGinn. Will assess over next two days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It’s been so long since the Derby game my brain is rejecting the memory as probable fake news. A performance that good surely can’t have happened to my team, and if in some quirk of the universe it did then it will never happen again. The possible injuries have allowed my brain to slide into the comforting pillow of fear and nerves that is its natural state when considering the Villa. I’m terrified that Villa are going to balls up my weekend. I’ve felt like that for a lot of years so it’ll take a while to shake off I guess. Good news is that all this crazed irrationality will be a million miles from the thinking of Smith, Terry and co. They told the players to put out a statement against Derby and they did. This time they’ll be telling them to do the same in front of our own fans. I’ll stick to my earlier prediction in this thread. A very different game, tough battle both sides scoring but we’ll get ourselves over the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2018 Quote from @Vive_La_Villa over in the Chester thread: Quote I actually dislike Liverpool and Man U fans more than bluenoses. At least the latter support their local team Depends where the Liverpool and Man U fans come from. Genuine Mancunians and Scousers are annoying, but you can understand their loyalties. Noses, of course, are despicable. But even noses are better than Brummie 'reds'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I don't see McGinn playing. I think Whelan will come in for him with Hourihane pushing further forward or perhaps Lansbury may come in so we maintain the attacking intent in the midfield with solely forward thinking players. Aside from that I think it will be the same as at Derby with Taylor left back and Kodjia and Adomah retaining their places out wide. I think Bolasie will be retained as a great option off the bench. We have more than enough to beat these and I think the fact that they will sit back and let us have the ball will now suit us something that wouldn't have been the case a few weeks ago. Every chance we can do to them what Derby did on Sha's last away outing. I'm going for a win and by at least a 2 goal margin.

They think it makes them look 'hard'. Either that, or the stress of following such a shite team makes their hair fall out. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
