Villa v Wednesday

[villa loyal]

Big game for both clubs Infront of what will probably be a big crowd. Wednesday although not had a great season are still not far off the play offs. Two clubs who have been playing similar this season, but we've started to improve over the last few games. Bruce has found his starting 11 and favoured formation and although kodjia is out injured again we have a superb player in Davis to stand in. Hard one to call, but I think it will be a draw.

I predict an incredibly dull 0-0 draw.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Really tough game for us, no idea what the team will be but considering we hadn't won in 4 weeks I wouldn't change much from Tuesday's win, Rhodes has to start now he's got his goal. Villa seem efficient and I reckon they'll be finishing top 2, so I'd be pleased with a point from this. If we can keep it tight, get back to the basics of last season and take our chance when it comes we may sneak a 1-0, but a draw seems more likely.

Everyone seems to be favouring the draw. Tbf it seems the likely result, but we really need to take the game to them. A win would be huge against one of our play off rivals. Can't see Wednesday beating us.

Is Lee not your best CM?

Is Lee not your best CM?

One of definitely, not been 100% since coming back from injury and Butterfield did well Tuesday so wouldn't drop him. Lee is one of our best players, scores goals, never gives the ball away and has a great engine, can't believe we got him from you for free!

wow 2-0 down at HT

Tekkin the piss

Wow what a performance, every man on the pitch outstanding just a shame we couldn't keep the clean sheet, but who cares really. Bannan absolutely ran the show again, we are lucky to have him, Butterfield quality, Reach gets better and better, defence outstanding, kept our shape so well it was like watching our win at Newcastle last season. Rhodes and Hooper look great together, things are looking a lot better now and 7 points from 9 has dragged us right back into contention. So frustrating knowing we can play like that but can go away to Bolton and Burton and drop points, onwards and upwards I'll enjoy the 2 week break now.

JT has broke his metatarsal by the sounds of things. Fuck sakes

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Was that by Reach? Shows how unlucky we were at Villa last Year

Just put it down to one of those days. Wednesday are a good team on their day and will be around the play off areas like us. That early goal killed us because we are shite when we go behind. Villa fans meltdown again, although I do see why fans are getting frustrated.

 

[villa loyal]

Oh and the Terry injury could really fuck us up. He's been one of our best players if not the most important.
