abdulaziz1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'd put Marc for Andi .. Bertrand for Bennett .. And the rest same as last game ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyway this is an important game .. Six pointer for sure ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Huge for finishing top half, and getting the tv money involved with such a finish. I think villa will do it. Third straight win, with no clean sheet this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just can't see 3 straight home wins. IF we do win on Sunday, our next home game is against Fulham (unless the City game is scheduled before that) so we could be looking at FOUR home wins in a row! Imagine that... it's been a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Are Adam and Walters still banned for this one? They had a good win against West Ham and will also be full of confidence. Will be a tough game and I expect them to score, but I expect us to come through and win. 3-1 to The Villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Are Adam and Walters still banned for this one? They had a good win against West Ham and will also be full of confidence. Will be a tough game and I expect them to score, but I expect us to come through and win. 3-1 to The Villa! Yes, both Adam and Walters are suspended. However that will most likely mean a return to Villa Park for Ireland - I just hope he doesn't play like a former player and has a blinder against us.... Win this one, we'll be on 37 points knowing we'll hit 40 points (and theorhetical safety) if we beat ManUre - now that should inspire the players! I wouldn't change much, only Bertrand in for Bennett (who did play very well on Saturday) and maybe Albrighton for Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giro Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Looking forward to this. Saturday was quality, reminded me why I love football so much 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm actually looking forward to this game. A couple of weeks ago I was in a depression about it. I think we will see a very confident villa team. If we get an early goal and play how we did saturday then villa park will be rocking again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 No changes needed apart from maybe Bertland for Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Marc Albrighton on for Weimann is my only change; I think Bennett needs to play and it would destroy his confidence if he's dropped. Bertrand back in for our next away fixture would be the wisest move as he's the better option away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Massive chance to pull away further from trouble and continue some recent great work. Stoke will be very tough and wont be as positive as Chelsea, thus making it potentially difficult to break down. Hopefully our confidence is high and we play with some freedom. Bertrand back for Bennett (although Joe did very well on Saturday) and id keep the rest the same. Walters and Adam being out is good for us - as those two can punish teams for sure. No Huth either. A great chance for us and a win here would lift the whole place and hopefully set us up for a decent end to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sun_never_sets Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 win and we're safe in all probability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can see a loss here.. It's typical us this season, play well against the bigger teams to lose against a shit team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Scrappy draw. And I'd be pretty happy with that in all honesty. I think Stoke would too. I think it's one of those which has a main aim to just not lose, but both teams will see this as a 'win and we're safe' game, so be interesting to see how both teams approach it.

Rugeley Villa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I can see a draw to be honest. Let's go full out attack though. We aint going down so we got nothing to lose. I'm still high off that chelsea game. Say what you want about villa park but when its in full flow their aint many better. Can see us playing with a bit of flair on sunday. We should do anyway. Stoke will play for the draw, you can bet your bottom dollar that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I reckon it'll be 2-1 but actually much more comfortable than the score line suggests. Weimann with first then Stephen Island will obviously score but Tekkers will quickly put us back in league. We then miss a procession of chances to kill it off but ultimately they're not posing much threat so we all go home really happy. We start to really look up the table and have a positive end to the season. After what feels like a good summer VT seems united in the sense that we are through the bad days and things are genuinely and noticeably turning around. This sense is soul crushingly destroyed again within four games of the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think I would give Albrighton the start and bring Gabby off the bench. He'd be really effective running with fresh legs at a tired defense. You can essentially say the same thing but with the roles switched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'd bring Bertrand in for Bennett as the only change. We should be confident for this one, also hoping for a lively atmosphere after our back to back home wins. Should get a better crowd than the 32k projected before the Chelsea win.

Mic09 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I read somewhere that Gabby felt his leg hurt during half time? And that Lamber took him off because there are still plenty of games for him to play this season? I haven't got a direct quote or source, however if this is true it would make sense to play Marc instead of Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
