Daweii Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I don't mind it too much as some of these players didn't get to play together in the German tournament. I mean Bruce knows how well Elmo and Hogan linked, but given that Kodjia likely won't be fit for the start of the season it's worth seeing how Gabby and Elmo link up as well. Most of this would have likely been gathered had that mid-week game with Arminia happened, but it didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping Steer is our main keeper this season. I highly doubt that Johnstone has come here to sit on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2017 Happy to see Green and Elmo start. Less so Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This is how we should start then: I'd prefer to see Bree instead of Hutton obviously, but like the set up overall. If Kodjia was fit to replace Gabby, this would be a very strong and attacking line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Johnstone has played one friendly but picked up a slight strain, hence missing out on the Germany tour and games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Won't be the team starting next week, thankfully. Although it says to me that Hourihane and Bree won't be starting against Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like Palace, Watford, Bournemouth, Swansea, Burnley and The Boggies easily coping with life in the PL despite the their profile, inferior player facilities, crowd sizes, corporate income etc etc. All the massive advantages we had over these clubs it should be almost impossible to mess it up really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Look at that match day squad, with Johnstone, Kodjia and Jedinak still to come back in. Serious depth for a Championship side. Should be a decent game today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We should be where Tottenham are now or at the very least Everton. It's going to take us decades now to catch up if we ever do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted July 29, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2017 Well just taken my seat and to say I'm disgusted at the attendance in memory of a guy who did great things for this club would be an understatement. Really disappointed the man deserved better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Would have been there but I'm currently in Orlando and it's a bit of a commute... Problem with a lot of late July friendlies - loads go on holiday after schools break up but before season kicks off proper. I'm taking advantage of YouTube but think this one actually shouldn't be on it to have encouraged ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We do that against almost any side in the Championship and it's 1-0. Unlucky not to have scored there to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Gabby should have scored but the pace to get away was gabby of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
