Aston Villa v Newcastle Utd Match Thread - Tues 30th Jan - 8.15

[Villan57]

The match is only two days away now, so time to start talking about it. Away we go.

Bang up for this , it's a huge game.

I wonder if Unai will terrorise Dan Burn with SJM again.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

We need to batter them for what happened on the opening day.

 

[Villan57]

Time for Ollie to start scoring again and we'll be fine

A bit strange last time when he played on the opposite side of the pitch.
SJM is like a Staffy under a Rotweiller where Burn is concerned

A win would be nice but a good pumping would be even nicer.

Big game.

Win.

That is all.

 

[CDX_EIRE]

A win would be nice but a good pumping would be even nicer.

Surely we'll be bang up for this after what happened on opening day. Not to mention their awful away record this season.

 

[Professor Dem_C]

Massive game. We simply cannot afford a loss

We got battered 1st game we have to set that straight as that was a pathetic start to the season

Unleash bailey on them

 

[Villan57]

Unleash bailey on them

Yes after about 65 mins

 

[Professor Dem_C]

Yes after about 65 mins

Has to start he absolutely battered them last season at VP. Shame JJs missing as he did as well

Well, he either starts and gets subbed off for Diaby or Diaby starts and gets subbed off for Bailey as neither is the answer. It's been the rule all season

 

[Silhillvilla]

Yes after about 65 mins

I don't think we can start Diaby he's too out of form . I do suspect Emery will start both Bailey and Diaby though, I just hope they aren't getting under each other's feet as usual . I'd tell Diaby to stay out wide and on turnovers get the ball out to him quickly

Bailey didn't play against them at home last season. He did at St James Park this season though , so perhaps he is a jinx on this particular fixture.

That's the problem , they get in each others way and leave us light in midfield

He was pretty crap up there and left Cash exposed but he always does its the price you pay for the occasional brilliance.

Didnt he? I thought bailey hit the post very early on or am i thinking another game?

Must be another game.

The ref for this game who I can't remember his name (as it should be), has a record of winning 6 Drawn 1 in our favour from his 7 appearances.
