Dodgyknees Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 So **** nervous. I was supposed to be going before it changed days If we win, I think we are safe, if we lose, I think we will go down.. it means that much. I was at the last Villa-Sunderland game that felt similar - 1-0 with an Allback goal. I'd give my toes for that tonight I just cannot shake the feeling of a loss :-( Link to comment
coda Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The euphoria following the Stoke win is long gone. I don't think Sunderland are any good but they are on a roll at the moment. Would be typical Villa to bottle this. Can't see us doing better than a draw. 1 Link to comment
wedge Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Woke up several times in the night in a cold sweat, and I'd imagine Lambert and the players did too... Link to comment
Dodgyknees Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 "It's only a game" says my boss. Doesn't **** feel like it. This season has been one big heart attack Link to comment

Having been to see Villa for 20+ times without witnessing a victory (mainly due to my old man's liking for watching the top 4), this was the first time I saw us leave Villa Park victorious. 1 Link to comment
PussEKatt Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I dont feel confident about this game.I will be up at 2:54 am to watch it though. Its silly cause you would think that after 10 months we should be able to beat a team that has been sucked into the relegation fight, but I am still not sold on Lambert`s tactics and team choices.

dudevillaisnice Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Unfortunately our players mentally suffer at home for whatever reason, probably would've been better away from home this fixture but let's see. Di Canio has got them getting results but i'm not totally convinced by them. Link to comment
Daniel Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Woke up several times in the night in a cold sweat, and I'd imagine Lambert and the players did too... I really don't think the players would care as much as you or i. I have been worrying about this game more than others recently. Edited April 29, 2013 by Daniel Link to comment
Giro Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 3 nil loss?!? Loving the confidence right there Link to comment
villa-revolution Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The best/worst thing is Di Canio's unpredictability. Would love to see him lose it big style & do something crazy like run onto the pitch & attack the ref for awarding us a throw in. Now that would be hilarious :crylaugh: Link to comment
Milfner Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 We haven't kept a clean sheet in 23 games (all comps), including 11 at home. Sunderland have scored in their last 7 aways. Yay. Link to comment
DiegoD Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 We'll need 3 goals to win as i'm expecting us to conceded 2. Hopefully Gabby can score as his goals have been good omens for us. Link to comment
kurtsimonw Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hopefully Benteke is on his A-game tonight. I don't think Cuellar or O'Shea are terrible at the back, but they're pretty soft and easily bullied in my opinion. If Gardner plays at right back then I think Gabby should have the running on him. Would like us to go 3 in the middle, rather than the 4-2-3-1 with Zog. Link to comment
Brumerican Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Have had to miss the last few games due to my broken ribs but I am a bit more mobile now so just bought my ticket . The Holte looks like it has practically sold out as well as the North Lower so it should be loud tonight .Never wanted to leave work so badly in my life . Link to comment
skarroki Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 about to sort myself, find the tickets and go pick my mates up, but just reading previous comments and comments throughout various threads i find it alarming that people are seriously suggesting all 4 of our last games are winnable games. all games are potentially "winnable", but we're playing 3 teams fighting for survival and one fighting for the CL with an incredibly talented squad. I am hopeful of us staying up but it's gonna be either very hard work or luck from other results that will make it happen, i would say our fixtures are the hardest of the lot Link to comment
skarroki Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 win this and i will be feeling much more confident about our survival hopes but i am slightly concerned our players will be the same. I don't want any complacency coming into the team at such a vital time Link to comment
CI Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 We need to win the next 2 to open up some space before Chelsea Link to comment

Would like us to go 3 in the middle, rather than the 4-2-3-1 with Zog. Cuellar is flat footed, we need to have players run at and behind him. Same for O'Shea really. Link to comment
villa-revolution Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I would play Ciaran Clark at LB & leave Baker alongside Vlaar. Alternatively it might have been a good match to re-introduce Enda to seeing as he stood up to Man U so well at VP previously & he looked pretty solid. Link to comment
