How considerate of the League to look after pubs, when have they shown the same consideration for the fans who actually attend games?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow back to the game, it&#8217;s far too early to say that this is a 6 pointer however I think it&#8217;s a game that we really need to win. If we win then we&#8217;ll have 3 points from 3 games, if we kept that up we should have just enough to stay up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Villa stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season but have strengthened their squad, notably with Brentford&#8217;s Watkins, Birmingham&#8217;s Hogan, Martinez and Traore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure that Scotty Parker would have this down as a &#8220;probable win&#8221; game, our record against Villa is reasonable with 10 wins, 6 defeats and 8 draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>COYW&#8217;s<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color has-vivid-red-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Games of interest..<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Saturday 26th<\/em><br>Brighton v Man Utd<br>Palace v Everton<br>West Brom v Chelsea<br>Burnley v Southampton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sunday 27th<\/em><br>Sheff Utd v Leeds<br>Spurs v Newcastle<br>West Ham v Wolves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Monday 28th<\/em><br>Fulham v Villa<br>Liverpool v Arsenal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color has-vivid-red-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>come on over to the forum and join in the discussion&#8230;<br>https:\/\/bit.ly\/2UDAjaY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well we&#8217;re playing on Monday evening rather than the weekend but we welcome Aston Villa to the Cottage for a 17:45 kick-off.
