TheAuthority Posted January 3 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3 Wonder what kit we'll wear? Their home colors are red shirt red shorts. So we could wear the 3rd kit or go all white... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) boro also have a league cup semi final the week after this game. Between trying to get themselves up into the play off spots after a horror start and enjoying a semi, (kenneth) whilst having some players off, I would be amazed if we didn't win this one comfortably. Setting myself up for disappointment, but this is one game I'm going to predict a fairly ordinary bu comfortable 2-0 win for us using plenty of back ups Edited January 3 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to destroy Boro, get way ahead, and let them drag their bloody guts across the pitch Isn't that the prep for a parmo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Will definitely see some rotation for this one, league is the priority. Martinez Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno McGinn Kamara Iroegbunam Zaniolo Diaby Duran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Managed to just grab a ticket for Everton away of the OS just now aswell and am going to middlesbrough to so i dont mind if they play a weakened team this saturday, i do think we should put 2/3 senior pros in though so we're not too complacent. Perfect for Zaniolo and Diaby to play and give ramsey some more minutes as he is lacking sharpness atm. Also Jhon Jhader should start and play as much of the game as possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 We need a strong defence which does not look as if it's members have only just met. That has been our downfall in some previous matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 If Duran starts him getting a booking will be the easiet bet this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Finishing top 4 and winning the FA Cup would be unreal . It’s about time the cup came home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kinda understand it given our recent record in the FA cup. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/pokalhistorie/verein/405 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok we had Manure and Liverpoo, but Peterborough, Stevenage ties we should be winning in all honesty. Don't think we will get past Middlesbrough , getting top 4 is our priority now so we need to rest players, so its gonna be a 2nd string side. Would love to see us win the FA cup but our squad isn't good enough to fight on securing top 4, progressing in Europe and the FA cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I see Sutton has said "I think they (Boro) can cause the upset this time if Unai Emery makes as many changes as I expect". Bring back Lawro BBC, I think you have to be anti-Villa to do these predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
