OutByEaster? Posted August 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2017 Be interesting to see him and to see Hourihane playing a little deeper. The front four are more than capable of causing trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I like that line up, not sure on the bench but hopefully we're well away and Bruce can use some of them for experience rather than necessity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Swap O'hare for Whelan, and I'd say this midfielder is stronger than the one we started against Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Like that line-up. Also, Richards not even on the bench. Excellent to see. Maybe he's on his way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably not a bad shout. With Adomah and Green either side of him, Hogan needs to really take advantage tonight and start building that confidence with a goal or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2017 I do worry that this side are a little lightweight, a determined bunch of lower league sloggers will terrify these. If we get playing, I think we'll be fine, but if they get the middle of the park off us, this could be tougher than it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2017 When I saw O'Hare in the Telford friendly, he was the one who caught the eye. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'd be happier with Whelan out there, but if we do get on the front foot, then I think there's the potential for goals in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted August 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Like the team... Thor at LB is interesting, will be good if it works. There is enough experience to balance the youth. However we need to be on the front foot, I don't want to see Samba and Chester under the cosh for 90 minutes. C'mon lads play with confidence. Put Colchester on the back foot and hammer them. And can we please play more than 45 minutes of football! Pleased with watching the first 2 games of the season.

I went to Villa Park for the first time last year, and it was great. Definitely an amazing experience. I am going back next month. I'd highly recommend going out to England and catching a match if you have a chance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 In many ways it's a more interesting and creative line up than on Saturday. It really shows our strength in depth as a championship team and highlights how there really are no excuses for Bruce this year. Really really hoping that hourihane and hogan more than anyone play awesome tonight and gain some much needed confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
