Farlz Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Need a big week. We’ve slowed down a bit lately but this is a good chance to put some good performances in. We absolutely should be beating Newcastle tonight. Let’s not **** it up Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Same as Friday but Bailey in for Diaby ? Or loads of pace and play Bailey AND Diaby. Apart from that i think the team will pick itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play longer into the space behind the press. If not i agree. They will do what they did at home against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We play positive we win. It’s that simple. We need to use our pace to the max tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Segundo Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm also not massively confident about this one, mainly because our last two home games were rather lumpen performances against the two bottom sides and Newcastle are better than them despite their injury list and we need to step up again. Form in general seems to have taken a real dip since we beat Arsenal. Diaby owes us a performance if he's selected, and it's about time Ollie got back on the scoresheet. Despite wanting desperately to put 3 or 4 past this lot again I'm going for a narrow win 1-0 or 2-1 but a draw would not surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Konsa to move to FB maybe? Would he be better taking care of Gordon, rather than Cash? Bailey to return to the starting lineup in place of Diaby you would think. Tough game, just hope we can put in a similar performance to how we last played them at home. Watkins and McGinn destroyed their back line that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Need to start quickly, get them on the back foot and take advantage of our pace. Don’t let the, settle into the game. Hope the home support is on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Ugh. I’m not feeling confident and it’s going to get ugly on here if we don’t win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think it’s quite understandable that many of us feel anxious about this. We are expected to win but we know we’ve not been at our best. All the stats relating to our home record vs their away record just add to the pressure. This game feels like a pivotal moment in our season and we all want some reassurance that we can push and compete for the second half of the season and not fall off form-wise like we’ve seen so many times in the past.
