Rugeley Villa Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 i think stoke are the stronger and better team for sure, if they start off well and get the crowd going it could be a difficult afternoon. their lad they had from barcelona looks tidy.

GENTLEMAN Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We owe Stoke a good beating after last season's results. Besides, Staffordshire is our territory anyway! Staffordshire Villa hands up! UTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Guzan Hutton - Vlaar - Okore - Cissokho KEA Delph - Westwood Grealish - N'Zogbia Weimann Same ref who reffd very well on the first day last season I see too , Anthony Taylor. Another 2 pens and a red will do nicely this year tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You've explained your decisions very well except for one, Stevens?! I'd have him over Bennett, I think he seems more solid and a bit more aware. I'd have no problems if it was Cissokho instead though. I was just a bit unsure how match fit he is, but if he's ready, I'd stick him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Guzan Hutton - Vlaar - Okore - Cissokho N'zogbia - Delph - Westwood - Richardson Bent - Gabby 0 - 2 (Bent, Gabby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Based on the fact that I dont think Okore, Bent are going to be quite match fit I'll go with the following ----------------------Guzan-------------- Hutton -- Senederos -- Vlaar -- Cissokho -----------------Westwood------------------ -----------KEA -------------Delph---------- -----------N'Zogbia ------Gabby---------- -------------------Weimann---------------- Gabby and N'zogbia both free roaming roles, main thing is getting them running at people. Bench - Given, Bacuna, Baker, Gardner, Grealish, Bent Score 2-1 to the Villa Edited August 12, 2014 by villaglint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Signing Sanchez and caissokho gives him choices in terms of personnel and also formation god knows what he'll go with I think the only certainty is Guzan in goal to be honest but maybe .... -------------------------Guzan Hutton---------vlaar----------okore------------cissokho ------------Westwood-----Sanchez--------Delph ----------------------------------------------Richardson --------------------------nzogbia -------------------------bent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogan_Avfc Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'd just go for it, play 2 up top with 2 wingers, old fashioned and outdated perhaps but we all know what happens when Bent is up top alone and isolated. 4-4-2/4-2-4. Guzan Hutton Okore Vlaar Cissokho Gabby Westwood Delph N'Zogbia Weimann Bent Subs; Given, Senderos, Bacuna, KEA, Grealish, Richardson, Cole if fit (if not Gardner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 A ground we always struggled on even when we had a top 6 standard team. Think we'll go 5 at the back and hit Stoke on the break so Gabby will start despite a woeful pre season. Can't see us scoring or keeping a clean sheet. 2-0 Stoke.

The Fun Factory Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I really have no idea what formation or starting XI Lambo will be going for this season. I think that is the only fun part of it. I hope for a 1-1 draw and no Lambert out chants, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.C.O. Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Can't see anything other than a comfortable win for Stoke I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
