Can you pay for matches individually on ifollow do you know? I'm in America aswell and forgot to look into it.

Yeah you can. I'm in 'Canada' and just buy a match passes for $9CAD.

Use my UK credit card, but a Vancouver address and never have a problem purchasing.

Looks likely it could be. The prem would love us, Cardiff and Millwall...

God knows the prem needs it

Johnson came out yesterday and was talking about expectations and comparing our budgets to PNE's and Brentford's. Comedy, I would love him to succeed here but it's not going to happen, we could do so much better.

Cardiff would be full of plastics giving it all Welsh. You'll surprise a few on the pitch no doubt. Millwall would be where all the fun and games are. The FA would hate Millwall to go up.

Any names in mind ??

McCarthy or Dean Smith would work.

Not at all. Whoever goes up deserves to go up whether it's, you, us, fulham, or whoever.

 

[Benladdie3000]

Good shout

What if Dean Smith takes Brentford up

 

[JJH]

What if Dean Smith takes Brentford up

Then he wouldn't come here obviously.

I'm amazed no ones gone for him up to now to be honest.

 

[Jockney]

He definitely deserves his shot. Quietly goes about his business in creating really good footballing sides. The only thing I can think that might possibly put bigger clubs off is that his teams often lack a killer instinct, which costs them points in the long run.

Quite a few villa fans want him if we don't go up. His name has been mentioned quite a lot for the last couple of years tbf.

If Brentford had a prolific striker in the last two/three seasons they'd have challenged automatics, if he played his system here we'd be flying as we've had a 20 goal striker for the last 5 seasons. If he got hold of our squad and budget he'd have us right up there I think, very good manager.

Pity they couldn't have kept hold of Scott hogan.

That was crazy you spending £15m on him despite his injury record. Grass hasn't been greener for Kodjia either, shame that.

A gamble, which has not been a complete disaster. Hogan went on a good run a few months back which catapulted us into the play off places. Kodjia has been very unlucky, and he had a great first season. I sometimes feel we are a better team without kodjia though. Both very good players to have in this league.

I'm inclined to agree with you. I like a lot of the things LJ has done here.. He's turned Reid and Bryan into fantastic players and looks like doing the same with Kelly and Vyner, and he's improved our league position massively but he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. At best we will tread water under him. I'd absolutely love Dean Smith here but it's never going to happen. LJ will be here long term.

Tbf, lack of a clinical striker didn’t stop Huddersfield last season. Hasn’t stopped us or Cardiff either. Think there’s more to it than that. I think they overplay it too often and more generally lack an edge. Think they also have real problems with game management.

Your style isn't even comparable to Brentford's. You play a lot of the game without the ball and when you have it play percentage football, from what I've seen they create many more chances in an average game than you do.

 

[villa loyal]

Brentford are one of the best footballing sides I've watched over the last couple of years. They played us off the park home, and away last season. It was the same at their place this season.

 

[JJH]

Updated predictions. 75 to be the magic number I think. Even if it's 74 which is the max we can get we'd miss out on GD I expect.

 

[TTOCS]

Birmingham v Sheff Utd Away Win
Brentford v QPR Home Win
Bristol City v Hull Home Win
Derby v Middlesbrough Draw
Millwall v Fulham Draw
Preston v Norwich Home Win

5. Middlesbrough 70
6. Millwall 70
7. Derby 69
8. Preston 69
9. Sheff Utd 69
10. Brentford 68
11. Bristol City 68

As clear as mud.

I stand by my prediction that we'll make the play offs in the very unlikely event of 3 straight wins. Might need a big win v Hull to get ahead of Brentford's GD.

 

[blademan89]

9/1 For us to make the playoffs. Might have a score on it

 

[SoutheySWFC]

I'm not a betting man but if you put £20 on it at 9/1 you will win fuck all i think
