[Albion] Aston Villa - a call to arms

It looks like it might be between us and Villa for 18th so this is a must win even if it’s a bit early in the season to say that.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Biggest game of the season.

Need it to be the best atmosphere of the season

HUGE game

Trouble is, just about every single previous Call To Arms has been killed stone dead earlydoors by the team coming out and playing dogshit. Suspect Villa game will be no different. We won't get going til the half-time subs, same as usual.

 

[TottonSeagull]

It be would be good if the players and management turn up for this! The crowd will react accordingly!

 

[Robinjakarta]

I was there.
John Templeman deserves huge credit for that one!

Yep. He's still around and was interviewed on The Albion Roar not that long ago with some interesting things to say. An honest player who always gave 100% and could be really influential at his best. Definitely one to have in the trenches.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Aye, the biggest game of the season so far.

It is pretty much crucial that Mooy is fit for this one.


On a positive note, 12 points v Villa, Bournemouth, West Ham and Watford will leave us within touching distance of safety so there is that fool's hope to still cling to.

Not just Villa, it's thnose four games that could just make or break or season. All following very closely together too.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Add Stephens to that list and pray that Mooy is fit by far our best player and he dont belong to us comical

Your attempt at a sentence is equally comical

Should swap to rest-of-Europe style supporting this match: crowd carrying the team rather than the team carrying the crowd.

When a team starts badly and the crowd starts moaning or whistling or whatever after ten minutes... it does no good for anyone.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

We just need to get Alzate to stick close to Grealish wherever he goes and disrupt anything he tries to do for the whole 96 minutes.

I was thinking the same thing. Stop Grealish and you stop Villa.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Our tinker man needs to get the team to start quick off the blocks and the atmosphere will be good.

 

[Mancgull]

I'd stick Bissouma on Grealish. Drop Stephens and have Mooy back, hopefully.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Barber needs to provide free beer before kickoff to get the crowd up for it.

Stephens has been shocking in the last 2 games. Don't know what is wrong with him, because he has had an almighty New Year hangover.

Not convinced he'll get another contract now, and maybe he'll be moved on in the summer.

Bissouma was abysmal v MASSIVE

Stephens has been terrible since his suspension which is a shame as had looked decent up to that point. Bissouma has blown hot and cold when given the chance and was the worst player on the pitch against Massive.

One of those two needs to start performing regularly and nail that position down

Looks increasingly like a relic from the CH anti-football end of empire. ¡Viva la revolución!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not convinced he'll get another contract now.......

With folks on his case, I doubt he'd want one.

Barnes Mk.II

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Bissouma was abysmal v MASSIVE

He was indeed, (as was everyone else to be fair). It seems with Bissouma, that as soon as we get a good game out of him his next one is a lot mess impressive. Consistency is what's missing.

 

[Hampster Gull]

He won’t. Barber OUT

 

[portlock seagull]

and If we lose, it won't be a disaster.

I reckon we'll still stay up.

We're 4 points above relegation. It's definitely not a must win. We can afford to lose and still be in a safe position.

Need a run, of good form, like everyone else has. If feels like we’re odd ones out. I fear another Hughton like run though, I definitely saw that coming last season a mile off and have to say I’m even more nervous now because the three definite for relegation aren’t as obvious as last year. It might just be us therefore. We’ve a fight on our hands and aren’t scoring or creating chances yet again. A lot to be nervous about therefore.
