Expecting a strong team tonight. At Bamber Bridge, 5 minutes from my gaff so I might nip round and have a look. This big Irish lad’s supposed to be starting.

bolton va va Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It'll probably be a similar team to the Salford game with squad players like Dixon, Aimson, Kachunga, Thomasson & Lee. Saturday's defeat has changed my view & I'd prioritise the Plymouth game now, not risking injuries to a few of the 1st choice. At the same time, Gerrard is under pressure & can hardly afford to lose to us, so will probably pick a strong team & getting clobbered will do us no good. A fine balance.

Moderators Casino Posted August 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2022 id like, based on what we know about fitness and if we didnt have some big games coming up traff bradley, jones, santos, johnston, iredale mj, morley and dempsey dapo, charles wouldnt be surprised if the bold ones didnt start either way, hope we play well and i leave with hope for the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Kachunga and Baka up top and Charles on bench ready for Saturday, which is a more important game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Have a bad feeling we'll get pumped tonight 3-0 but would be very funny to see Gerrard's team get embarrassed live on Sky by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did ok there previously and frees Sadlier up to move where we all think he’d be most effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Can’t say I’ve got anything to say about villa as a club. It’s a bit meh! But fuck me their fan base I cannot stand! Delusions of grandeur of the highest order talk of getting the job done by HT and bringing the kids in 🤦🏻♂️ They seem to forget that are a bang average prem side not so long in the champ who’ve won 3 out of 15. Playing away from home against an ok team who aren’t shrinking violets. hope we get right in to em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Its a shame to hear people say they want us to play a 2nd string team, against a Prem team, live on Sky. Don't we want to look at our best for the TV audience? Even if we lose but give a good account of ourselves the atmosphere will be great for the hour that we compete and it will put the club in a good light and potentially attract new fans. Rather that than being 2 down after 15 minutes and spending 75 minutes listening to Villa fans chanting empty seats. All this resting players, when did they become incapable of 2 games in 5 days? It isn't Easter or Christmas with 2 games in 3 days. Play the best players tonight, and play the best players on Saturday, from those fit and available. If one gets injured tonight, so what, we don't have an outfield player that can't easily be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see him resting anyone. can see Thomasson etc coming on but he’ll go as strong as possible for all the “free hit” and nothing to lose messages coming out IE will secretly believe we can turn these over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheehan looked really sharp, turning easily and pinging passes with both feet. Looks ready to me, but what do I know ? Isgrove similar, playing sensibly, like he usually does, except for when he hit the bar from 30 yds - really spectacular effort. Toal just played 45 minutes but looked good in the air. Their CF was a handful tbf but Toal did fine. Just easing him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
