mikeyp102 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Steer Bree Elphick Samba Amavi (unless being sold) Onomah Lansbury Elmohadamy Hourihane Green Hogan Give Hourihane the chance to stake the number 10 position, hopefully get Hogan to score to build his confidence. Rest whelan and Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Anyone not included in this is out the door. I expect to see Richards (sigh) and not to see elphick (blues), or McCormack (dog and duck). is it too early for Adomah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Strongest team available minus Terry preferably. Need to get a winning feeling early - especially away from home. Steer Bree, Samba, Chester, Amavi/Taylor Elmo, Whelan, Hourihane, Lansbury, Green Hogan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The Villa of the previous years would **** this right up, time to show we've turned a corner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 We have only ever played Colchester in the League Cup and although we have lost once in these three games that was not enough to send us out because although we lost 2-0 in 1979 we had won the home game by the same score (with 2 goals from Gary Shaw) and went on to win on penalties. Our first game against them was a 2-1 win in 1975 at Layer Road with our goals coming from Ray Graydon and Alan Little. We need to start winning games away from home (even on SKY) so this might be a good time to start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjpa Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Strongest team available whilst resting a couple of the more senior first team lads - maybe Terry and Whelan. Absolute necessity to get a good win under our belts, 2-0 will do just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If Adomah is fit, I'd get him in. I'd also like to see Hourihane, Onomah, Bree, and Samba for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Difficult for me to put Luton out of my mind for this one. David and Goliath live and exclusive on Sky Sports... with Aston Villa fielding a sensibly changed side to level the playing field somewhat. Locals relishing their early season Cup Final waving their half and half scarves etc etc. As has been said... what could possibly go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly where my head is at. This is a game where we should control it from the start and win comfortably 2 or 3 nil.. if we have in fact turned a corner. A win would do our confidence some good before we head to Cardiff & Reading. -------------------- Johnstone ---------------- Hutton --- Chester --- De Laet--- Amavi Elmo---Onomah---Hourihane---Green ------------- Hogan ---------- Gabby---------- Empty the subs bench then as needs be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I'm dreading this. You just know that Bruce will rest Terry, Whelan and Elmo for this. Maybe Hutton, Chester, Taylor, Lansbury and Hogan too. I think he may give Steer a run out (if not injured) Bree, Amavi & Samba too. Playing Richards would be a sackable offence. Bacuna - if he fancies a wind up, yes (sackable offence too) So I think he'll go Steer Bree Chester(Richards) Samba Amavi Hutton Gardner Hourihane Green Onomah Gaby ------------- I'd go best team (Subs in brackets) Steer Bree Chester Terry (Samba) Taylor Whelan Elmo Lansbury(Hourihane) Green Hogan Gaby(McC) We need to hammer these for confidence and the feelgood factor for everybody at the club.
