My first time at Villa Park and only second time seeing Villa live after the Perth game in preseason. Absolutely buzzing. Excellent, where are you sitting?

dubliner Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Looks like this one is close to a sellout which is fantastic for a mid table clash. Hope we get the place bouncing and get 3 points to keep us away from those below us Edited February 27, 2023 by dubliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Ollie has goals in back to back games against Palace. Im backing him to go six in six. 2-1 Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Palace forum has pretty much all of them expecting them to win. 2-0 or 2-1 to them seems a common prediction. With a couple opting for them to win 3-0! I guess that's what happens when you lose so often at home, other teams don't fear coming to play you. We badly need a win here.

Even so, that's a surprise, four draws and a loss in their last five games is dreadful form, they haven't won yet in 2023 - that's nine games and they haven't scored more than once in any of those games. They must just be a bunch with an optimistic outlook I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Palace may have Zaha back for this match (typical!) which would probably boost their chances. I reckon it will be a 1-1 draw but would be great if we could put some distance between us and them and take the 3 points.

Which one are you looking at? holmesdale seems to be their big one and most seem to think a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must just be a bunch with an optimistic outlook I guess. I'd say over optimistic. The form of there last 10 away matches is not exactly inspiring. (9PL games & 1 Cup game) W 2 - D 3 - L 5 They've only scored more than 1 goal twice in that sequence and that was in the 2 wins, 2-0 v Bournemouth and 2-1 v West Ham and they'ver failed to score in 6 of those matches!! They've only beaten us twice at VP in the last 19 matches stretching back to 1989. You have to go back 6 matches to 2013 the last time they beat us at VP. the time before that was way back in 1991. I know we've been very generous of late at home, but they are nothing special and from what i've seen they are not great up front. I think it's us Villa fans that should be the optimistic ones for this match. click here for the stats Edited February 28, 2023 by imavillan typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Zaha loves playing against us. This is not a “must win” fixture, but it will probably go a long way to deciding what we are this year. A win puts us in the European race, a draw probably nails us on for 11th, a loss means a race to ensure we are 11th for the rest of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that probably makes sense. Seems like their are hundreds of returns though is that usually how many? Was thinking of going to this one but going barbados in 2 weeks so really need to save the money towards that Will prob catch a game when i get back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of the season. I can’t see anyone catching us if we have 7pt gap over the teams below us. Likewise I cannot see us catching Brentford if they open a 7pt gap on us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the lower or upper tier if they have only sold half? Or is that not allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
