wedge Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Here we go then, the start of another rollercoaster ride following our beloved Villa and the Paul Lambert revolution. Who's feeling confident? We've been handed a tough season-opener but we are more than capable of winning it. I'm excited to see Lambert's Lions live for the first time and it would be superb if we had one or two more quality additions to the squad before Saturday that would be fantastic. Come on you Lions!

AvfcTheObsession Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I remember too well last time we played away at a newly promoted team on the opening day. Hoping for a 2 2 draw, but wouldn't be surprised to see us go down 2-1, late goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2012 Always tough to play a promoted team on the first day, especially awa from home. I reckon we'll scrape a draw, but ultimately with plenty of positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Defeat. West ham will be well up for it and despite signing vlaar, we still look a soft touch at set peices which they will exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Long balls will screw us over. Really could use the terrible partnership of Dunne-Collins in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
