Robbored Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 As Phantom says, it’s another league game. Sure it’s bigger than most given the close proximity of Villa Pk and the Championship positions between the two clubs and I’m sure that LJ and his assistants will have come up with a strategy to face an inform team just as they did last night.

mozo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It's not a cup final but it would definitely be worth the players putting that level of effort into the game because a win would claw us excitingly close to sealing a play-off place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not, ten polnts from our remaining matches gets the P/O spot, and our history does not exactly provide much optimism from then onwards Win, draw or lose on Saturday, we fight on for those precious ten points.
