ismail-villa Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Shackles are slightly loosened for this game (definitely not off!), so hopefully we can get a win, get some confidence and bring that to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Now we're pretty much down might as well try and go on a good cup run. Put a decent team out (by our standards) Garde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Top 6 in League 2 at home to rock bottom in the top flight. There can only be one result. A draw and a replay at Villa Park! If we lose this one then everyone at the club should hang there heads in shame (in fact they should be doing so already). I would start: New signing, Bacuna, Richards, Okore, Cissokho, New Signing, Gana, Veretout, Gil, Traore, Ayew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 They let me down in an accumulator yesterday and will probably add insult to injury be beating us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Its being televised so our 'friends' in the media are clearly hoping for an upset. Despite being profoundly negative about all things Villa these days I think we will win comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Play some of the U21 players, go bold with the line up: Guzan Bacuna Mason Clark Cissokho Lyden Adama Gardner Sinclair Hepburn-Murphy Kozak Subs: Bunn, Okore, Hutton, Gana, Grealish, Gil, Gestede 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 4, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2016 A true hiding to nothing. If we win, everyone outside the club says 'so what'. If we lose, they laugh their tits off. Confidence in the group must be so low at the moment that they go into this petrified to lose, and therefore make it more likely that they do just that. And yet ... given our league season, it is precisely games like this that can give the team an iota of confidence. We need to use this as one of our last potential springboards towards any kind of form. In a funny way if we lose this game it's another nail in our coffin because the players will look at themselves and think 'we can't even beat a League Two side. What hope have we against anyone else". I have no confidence in us getting a result. This could be any score. I just hope it's the right one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 -------------------------Bunn------------------------ --Richards---Okore------Lescott---Cissokho-- --------------Gardner--------Bacuna--------------- --Traore------------------------------------Sinclair-- -----------------Ayew---------Gestede-------------- Classic 4-4-2 for me. We have the personnel for it. No more fancy formations. Also if we play Gestede, put someone next to the poor guy so he has some support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Give kozak a chance from the start along with some other players that should be itching to show what they can do, namely Gardner and Bunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Wycombe need to be taught a lesson given the way they have been talking about us. Edited January 4, 2016 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Match betting has us a favourites at 11/10. I'm going to be taking a punt on Wycombe at 12/5 a good price for the home team and when we lose again at least it will help ease the pain. This is something i am going to do for every home match we play as the away side should be a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I was at the 5-0 and the 8-3, so if we get beat you can say that the lack of a lucky mascot (me) is the reason why. It will be about as much consolation as any of the other feeble excuses likely to be offered up by the players at full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If we win, will the slight boost in confidence carry over to the prem - Who am I kidding, we're not going to win. It'll be a cup upset if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
