Guybrush Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 If they don't score any goals, and we don't score any goals, I can see it being a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Felt that Brentford was the trickiest of the away games. One loss on home soil and we generally struggle against a back three. Villa will give us chances for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Was watching the Up the Villa podcast preview and while they are confident, there was still an element of trepidation. They worry that one or two of their players can go missing and that they don't create loads of chances. It's easy to forget how feared we have become. If we start well, we will win.

geordiesteve710 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Think the first 15 minutes will set the tone. If we get through that without giving the crowd anything to get excited about or Joelinton giving them anything to get angry about then we can gradually impose ourselves. I feel if we have a particular defensive weakness it's that playing a high line leaves us vulnerable to pace merchants like Watkins. Especially if Pope tries to be a bit clever in the sweeper-keeper role. 2-2 draw appeals for some reason. Watkins 2, Isak and late Gordon equaliser will send us home relatively happy.

If you mean Brum then bars near New St are the best bet. Briar Rose Spoons will be open earliest but think the Shakespeare and The Railway both open around 10-ish.
