villa4europe Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm on holiday, will be in the air during the game, will be honest and say I don't know too much about their new signings but from what I saw of them last season they play good stuff, expecting a score draw, going for 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 No chance Kozak will start. This is going to be a fast paced affair and won't suit him at all. Sinclair should get the nod up front after his hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 No chance Kozak will start. This is going to be a fast paced affair and won't suit him at all. Sinclair should get the nod up front after his hat trick. Sinclair will play wide won't he? Main striker will be Gestede or Kozak. Ayew nailed on to start the other side. Sorry Gabby......

lexicon Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Over 3.5 goals on Skybet is 11/4, both teams to score in both halves is 20/1. Bets that I'd be looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Gestede scored a 24th minute goal against Bournemouth to put Blackburn 3-0 up last August... They won the game 3-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Looking forward to this Guzan Bacuna Richards Clark Amavi Gueye Westwood Veretout Sinclair Gestede Gil I don't think Gil will be back from his injury will he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'm also unsure that Veretout will start considering he has only a cameo pre-season appearance to his name. Don't get me wrong, he's a definite starter down the line, but I think it'll take a few weeks for him to get up to speed and cement his place.

VILLAMARV Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4911948,00.html Tim Sherwood has given his latest fitness update ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth. The meeting with the Cherries may come too soon for Carles Gil and Jack Grealish - who have seen their training schedules interrupted by troublesome injures. Gil picked up a knock in last week's friendly at Swindon while Grealish's solitary pre-season outing came at Tamworth last Wednesday after a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, defender Jores Okore is still recovering from knee surgery. Although keen to acknowledge there are still two days of training before the big kick-off, Sherwood was more upbeat on his returning international players. He said: "Carles and Jack are still out injured - they haven't been able to do enough training so it's a disappointment." "Okore is still injured with his knee which he had operated on at the end of last season." "I don't like to give too many updates as it can always come back and hit you in the face!" American stopper Brad Guzan and Colombian Carlos Sanchez have both had busy summers representing their countries in the Gold Cup and Copa America respectively. The duo are now back at Bodymoor Heath as the squad prepare for Saturday's Barclays Premier League opener. The manager added: "Carlos doesn't need a rest as I gave him a month off." "I recognise that he'd been round the clock a couple of times at the World Cup and had other international commitments." "I've given him four weeks off after his last games which has been a good enough break for him." "He's come back and he's going to need more training to blend himself into the squad." "Brad's is a different situation, He's only had a week off and he only wanted a week off. He hasn't lost too much fitness and he'll get back into the swing of things as quickly as possible." "We have a squad with a better balance than we had last season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sooo...first MUST WIN game of the season. I expect at least 2-2, could be more, and would probably be happy with a point, but at the very least to see us going for it and generating some excitement. Ideally coupled with not being shite at the back. Losing both this and Utd would put us back into a dark place (relegation thread 5.0 etc) so we need to start positively. For me: GuzanBacuna Richards Clark Amavi Gueye Westwood VeretoutAyew Gestede Sinclair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I really think it's 50/50 if Guzan will start. Might see a front three of Sinclair-Kozak-Agbonlahor. I think Ayew and Gestede will be used as subs. Probably don't want to just throw them into the fire. I also wonder if Veretout will be starting. I have a sneaking suspicion will be start with a 4-4-2 much like the last match we played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Shame Jack & Gil wont be ready. Hope both arent too far away. We have a chance to win 3 opening day fixtures in a row here, gonna feel so good if this new side can click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'd go with ............guzan Hutton.richards.clark.amavi .......gueye.westwood Bacuna.....ayew.......sinclair ............gestede Subs: Bunn, baker, Veretout, kozak, Sanchez, Robinson, cole Don't know what to expect really. I believe we have the capacity to create goal scoring chances but need someone to convert them. Hoping for a clean sheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 ---------------------Guzan--------------------- --Hutton--Richards©--Clark---Amavi-- ------Gueye---Westwood---Veretout----- Subs: Bunn, Baker, Richardson, Bacuna Pretty much picks itself if Sanchez, Crespo, Senderos and Okore are all out of contention. The rest could be absolutely anything but my hunch is he'll start gabby somewhere and Sinclair should start after his hat-trick the other night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Personally would be surprised to see Veretout start, particularly away from home. I think the line up will probably be as follows: Guzan Hutton Richards Clark Amavi Westwood Bacuna Gueye Sinclair Gestede Ayew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I know nothing of Bournemouth. I am, of course, hoping for a feast of Villa goals from all our new signings. Especially Crespo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
