Hornso Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Need to ensure Tom Lawrence doesn't destroy us. He's been banging in some great goals recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ipswich are THE most inconsistent side in the division. Yes even more so than us. In their 30 league games this season, ONLY ONCE have they repeated their previous result. WLDDWLWDLDLDWLDWLWLDLWLWLWLDLD ^ That's hard to do ! It also suggests it will not be a draw 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Early goal for Ipswich. We will make it 1-1 before HT Ipswich goal again. Hogan to make it 2-2, Kodjia to score the late winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdaww Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 there is precious little evidence of any improvement on the pitch . we are unable to progress the ball out of defence through midfield to the forwards. non of our midfielders attempt to beat a man (tsishbola did) ., nor do they move to recieve a pass ( westwood did- but little else ) as a result we are not scoring enough goals to overcome our defensive (mainly GK) frailities. most of the time in most games we have been outplayed - often by lowly teams. i see no reason to think we wont lose . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm calling it, a comfortable win. We'll concede one obviously, but a comfortable win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I actually think we'll keep a clean sheet. Ipswich are a one man team, keep Lawrence quiet and we'll be fine. Hogan and Kodjia hopefully have had a good week's training and we'll give these a good beating. 3-0 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to be the finished article yet, but criticising the new squad after 1or 2 games (shit ones agreed) seems unduly pessimistic.

sheepyvillian Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Was a time when these two were the two top teams in the country . I remember the Wednesday night game which was being labelled the title decider , couldn't get in due to a full house ,had to stand a top Aston Park, anyway despite an absolute second half onslaught we got beat 2 - 1 ,incidentally they done the treble over us that season but when it came to the crunch we wasn't found wanting and the rest ,as they say, is history.

wilko154 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 With Jedinak injured I would be inclined to bring Bacuna into the midfield instead of Bjarnason Johnstone Bree Chester Baker Amavi Lansbury Hourihane Bacuna Adomah Hogan Kodjia Subs: Bunn, Elphick, Taylor, Gardner, Bjarnason, Green, RHM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted February 10, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2017 You either have Jedinak and 2 centrebacks or you can use 3 centrebacks. You should not have Jedinak and 3 centrebacks. That's giving the opposition way too much respect with this new midfield. All IMHO. EDIT : To clarify. I'm not against having 2 CBs and no Jedi. I just think 3+J is too belt & braces. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 we need a win for lots of obvious reasons. But I also think we need to start winning so that the guys who have come with winning mentalities (Lansbury, Hourihan, Hogan) dont get sucked into that losing habit that most Villa players tend to succumb to given enough time at the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
