Mark Albrighton Posted April 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hopes for the game. Villa produce a performance that suggests to us that, should our paths cross in the play offs, we could match and beat Cardiff. We pick up zero injuries. Kodija continues to get up to match fitness (hopefully he scores too). Warnock throws a strop again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’d be tempted to drop Grealish. Bring in Davis, Jedinak and Whelan. **** trying to play football, let’s just make sure Grealish isn’t injured for the play offs. I’d take a draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I hope we play well and win. I think it’s more likely that we roll over and play dead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see what we’d be playing for in the Premier League aside from avoiding relegation. It would take a ridiculous amount of money to genuinely challenge the top six, and it’s money we don’t have. We might finish seventh. Might. It’s not enough to fill me with any enthusiasm or excitement. Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on this forum... You are actually annoyed that should we go up we won't challenge the top six... This season is all about getting out of this league before we begin to hit financial ruin. The over-reaction to missing out on automatics is absolute madness. Granted we should have been acheiving 1st or 2nd this season but we are still going to be going into the playoffs with a chance of promotion this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Tonight is all about clawing Cardiff back for Fulham to overtake them, along with trying to hit some form going into the playoffs. If we draw Cardiff in the playoffs over two legs I feel we have a chance, Fulham on their current form will blow us away. Johnstone Elmo Chester Terry Taylor Jedinak Snodgrass Grealish Hourihane Adomah Davis or Grabban Elmo and Taylor have been poor, unfortunately we have no one to replace Taylor with and we need Elmo to start hitting form as he links up well with Snodgrass when on his game. Jedinak in to deal with the height advantage Cardiff have. Davis or Grabban up top, I think we play better football with Hogan in the squad but we have no intention of playing to his strengths and so he is wasted. If we are going to continue launching long balls we might as well give Davis a run of games and see how he handles it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Win tonight, Fulham draw, Norwich beat Cardiff on Saturday and we beat Leeds. We are 1 point behind again. It's Happening.gif 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Chester I hear can play left back. id consider trialing it tonight and have axel at CB. Taylor was absolutely hopeless against Norwich. As tempting as it is to start Kodjia I would have him still as bench. Drop adomah tonight as he has been really awful last few weeks and send a message poor performances wont be rewarded with a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Green appears not to be listed as injured, so where is he now, when Adomah clearly has hit a bad patch. We really need Adomah firing on all cylinders for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Our on-going problem is that we rely on our midfielders to score all of our goals. Thankfully Snodgrass/Adomah/Hourihane have all come up with the goods this season. I think each of them have more goals than our entire strikeforce combined don't they? Hogan is just never going to work for us, Grabban is a jack of all trades, master of none and Kodija has been injured for far too long, its a miracle we're even pushing for automatic places. The fat lady is warming up the old vocal cords right now and I have a feeling she's going to be signing tonight on our chances of finishing 2nd.

villan-scott Posted April 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think he will rest Terry tonight after his knock against Norwich and the games coming thick and fast. Risky I know, but don’t want him to burnout. Win tonight and it creates a bounce and a buzz again which we need heading into the playoffs. It’s just a shame it’s not a huge game to close the gap to one point. The fans and players need to pick themselves up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I have a feeling we will be alot better than Saturday, I just can't see Bruce tolerating another pathetic performance like Saturday again. 46 minutes ago, villan-scott said: I think he will rest Terry tonight after his knock against Norwich and the games coming thick and fast.

He should put terry on the bench as a resting precaution. aexl is a big CB and he will be bale to handle the big physical aspect. i think jedinak will also start this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2018 Colin to outfox Bruce at every turn and deliver a humiliating lesson in defeat. Yep, I'm very confident for tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm very confident for tonight. From what I remember of the first tie, Cardiff play blood & guts football. Lung burst forward and try to terrify the opponent at every opportunity. Which seems to be working (or I'm completely wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
