barneyrubble Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Following our win and performance against wba i think we are well capable of getting at least a draw against villa. It was one of the most positive performances I have seen for a long time. Although we conceded a couple of soft goals west brom are prolific scorers. The extra days rest will definitely be to our advantage and the red card suspension also. Also dont think they will have any idea how we will set up after Tuesdays formation and will have to adjust in the game. Two concerns I have are Tammy is playing and we know his capabilities, hopefully he has a quiet game. The other is Max s ability to deal with crosses. He has the makings of a good keeper but at the moment seems to struggle to make the right decision and isn't strong enough when in crowded situations. This is not a criticism as this is by far the most difficult aspect of being a keeper and will get easier through experience. Can see Lj springing a few more surprises in personnel and shape and fancy us winning 1 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Being a game neither side will want to lose a 1-1 draw looks the most likely. a bit like when we played Coventry all those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 It’s the only away game I’ll go to this season and I’m sure it won’t disappoint. Hoping for end to end all out football with goals to add. Prediction: 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 About time Fam got a goal or two. Tammy with a tap in or two. 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Well, 3-2 seems to have become a bit of a thing for us of late, so the same again, please. If Smith is fit, play the same team that beat Sheff Utd. Webster will have Tammy folded up in his back pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 They looked naff against an abysmal Rotherham. McGinn was the only player that made anything happen, excluding one moment from Grealish. Seemed like a team of 11 great individuals that had the talent to make things happen but would come unstuck against an organised team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 My prediction is a defeat, sadly. This will be our 5th game in 14 days and I just think away at Villa will be too much for us.

They had 10 men and came from a goal down, to win, against a team fighting for their lives. Forget the quality of their performance. That’s the kind of result that you need to get promoted. One that I didn’t think they had in them. 7 straight wins. If you think that they are anything other than very dangerous, then you are setting yourself up for a big fall..!

Sir Geoff Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Streaky Lee's run to continue. 4 unbeaten and counting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 No idea what the result will be, but Mings suspension will be a loss to then. A lot of pundits creaming over Grealish, but their good run has coincided with Mings building a CB partnership with Wolves loanee Hause and settled full-backs in Elmohamady and Taylor. Hause was missing (injured?) on Wednesday and Man Utd loanee Tuanzebe came in. In Hause isn’t fit then Villa will have a new pairing at CB, possibly Hutton or Jedinak will come in, who’s a RB really and a CM respectively. That is better news for us. Lets also not forget, we were on a longer winning run than Villa recently too. Lots to be positive about and I think Villa under pressure too. Can see LJ sticking with the 4222 - or what i’m Calling the 4222Hexagaon. I think he’ll want Webster and Pack shielding Kalas and Baker (against his former club) from Abraham and the inside runs from Grealish and El-Ghazi. Will be an interesting match-up.

santibello Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm worried about Villa, i think this'll be one of the hardest matches this season. Remember Dean Smiths Brentford last year where in both legs we looked absolutely dire. Dean Smith is generally really good at making his opposition look garbage, with his patient approach and quick short passes. Combine that with the quality of players he's managing now compared to Brentford last year, im worried we won't even get a shot on target. 2-0 villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
