Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2017 Honestly first day out, performance is utterly irrelevant. Let's just get the points in the bag and go from there. Please and thanks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Agreed, a scrappy 1-0 with a goal off Gabby's arse in the final minute for all I care. Let's just get the ball rolling, points on the board, confidence can be gained through momentum, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) This will end just 84 goals off our usual 85-0 win for me. We need to win this one along with the 45 league games that follow it! Hull's one and only win at Villa Park came 50 years ago in November 1967 when 2 goals from Brian Greenhalgh were not quite enough to prevent our 3-2 defeat in front of a crowd of 19,875. We have won our last 7 home games against Saturday's visitors and long may that winning run (that began with a 6-0 win in August 1974) continue.

pacbuddies Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If we are serious about promotion we need to be winning convincingly against rubbish like Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Remember when Bowery had his best performance for us against Hull? Which oddly included an own goal. His only goal in claret and blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I agree we should be winning. But "convincingly against rubbish like Hull" is a bit far. They've come down from the Prem. I think they'll be amongst the strongest teams in the league this season (although not in the top 4 or 5) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh winning this game won't tell us if we are ready to win the league. A win would be nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Really looking forward to this match, more so than I can remember - they're a club in a similar negative mindset to us when we went down, only without the new ownership and big spending. They're a club on the way down and we've got to hit them hard from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC44 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Will take a draw and a convincing performance to be fair. Reckon 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2017 Roll on Saturday, so sick of the Summer. I think it'll be tough but we'll beat Hull... my prediction is 1-0. Hogan score in 5th min then backs to the wall for the next 85min. But I would snatch an arm off if offered now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 bring on the damn weekend! this has been a long summer indeed. I think we'll start the season strong with a breezy win against Hull. 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
