RunRickyRun Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't think we'll win. I'm not convinced we deal with the long throw well (Blackburn away for example) and we were poor at set pieces against Reading. Still up for it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 What i want to know is... Why is it that we concede next to no goals from corners in the premier league. May even have been zero. But when we play championship sides, defending them becomes our weak point. Reading and Palace had a field day from set pieces. Any road, offtopic i know.

carew_villa Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Agree with Shillz I think that's weird also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Go on then I'd go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Milner Petrov Young Carew Gabby. Why, when it's become patently clear that we use Cuellar at right back primarily for games against sides who go for a direct/physical approach, would we change it and bring in Young for a game against Stoke, the new architects of the direct/physical approach? I think if all are fit it's fairly obvious that Collins, Cuellar and Dunne will all play, and rightly so too with them fooking throw-ins! Didn't realise we had to predict the line-up rather than voice an opinion on what I believe it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 What I find even more strange is that overall in the Premier League we've been next to impossible to score against (that second goal conceded against Burnley was a result of the large number of goals we scored that day, so I'm not gonna count it), and yet in the cups we've been leaking goals, but also scoring loads as well. Bar Crystal Palace away I don't think we've scored less than 3 goals in a game in the FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormandyVillan Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Nervous about this one, so I think it's time for another extra-pessimistic prediction: Stoke 3 Villa 0 Very poor performance by Villa. The biggest talking point of the game will be a Rory Delap throw-in that goes into the net and is given as a goal despite replays showing that nobody actually touched it. This will give the "dubious goals panel" a headache because there is nobody they can credit the goal to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 2-1 to us. Carew and young to score in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This is a game Cuellar should obviously play in due to the aerial presence of Stoke. I think Ash will have a good game.. just have a good feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ash is finding form at the right time - hope that Carew starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make a prediction, it's always a 3-0 or 4-1 defeat. So far we've always won (five times out of five), so I'll stand by it. Villa to play very poorly and go down 3-0 here.

Troglodyte Posted March 13, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've stuck a quid on Agbonlahor first scorer in a 2-1 Villa win. Will certainly be a tough match though; I wouldn't want to put any larger amount of money on a Villa victory! Providing we're defensively solid, though, we should be able to break them down (with patience). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
