AshVilla Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Comfortable win for Middlebrough. They will probably have 11 men this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2017 16 minutes ago, BOF said: It'll be interesting to see how strong we go here. I can't imagine he'll fill it with kids, because he'll be aware that a winning momentum is a good thing regardless of competition, but there'll definitely be changes. I'd expect O'Hare to start and Doyle-Hayes to feature. Another run-out for De Laet & Steer. I'd be surprised if we go as weak on paper as we went against Wigan. Definitely not filled with kids but most probably a way of keeping the fringe players fit and active! Id also be careful of changing positions of first teamers such as Elmo, if hes a right back now we should keep him there, same with Adomah and the left. Steer, Bree, Samba, Chester, DeLaet, Doyle Hayes, Lansbury, Ohare, Thor, Hogan, Gabby (4 1 3 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Would go Steer, Clark-Samba,Elphick, De Laet, Doyle-Hayes, Jedinak if fit or Lansbury , O'Hare, Bjanasson with Onomah and Hogan. Not the most important match but would be nice to keep the run going and get into the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If Bruce has any sense, he will save his first team (if he knows it) for Forest and play the youngsters and players who need a game. Promotion is paramount, and I don't care a jot about this cup. Also I rather enjoyed the opportunity of seeing the youngsters last cup game.

8pints Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'd play Steer Clark---Suliman---Bedeau---Borg Bree---Doyle-Hayes---Lyden---Cox O'Hare Hogan And have Bjarnason, McCormack, Elphick, Adomah and Davis ready on the bench. However, I think that starting 11 could be formidable and I'd like to see those players given a chance against a decent side like Middlesborough. I think we'll win 2-0 with Hogan getting both.

Kiwivillan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Give Bjarnasson a run I guess because he should be nowhere near the first team in league games on performances so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Raver50032 Posted September 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2017 Lots of people saying they don't care about this one. Well **** me, I care. I'm taking my daughter for her first trip to Villa Park this season and I want to see a performance. I want to see a performance that proves we are developing a forward consistency of good form. Losing this because we don't care sets us up for what against Forest in a few days time? This is as crucial a week as what happened last week. Only last week was spectacular failure despite two whopping home points. No, **** this... I want to see us go for it... build on that 'shut a few people up' confidence boost at lowly Barnsley. Prove it Steve. ****ing prove it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the likes of Hogan & McCormack are behind Kodjia and Davis then you're doing alright. It also remains to be seen just how seriously Middlesbrough take it. They've got bigger fish to fry this season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 1 hour ago, BOF said: When the likes of Hogan & McCormack are behind Kodjia and Davis then you're doing alright. How many goals have those three (other than Kodjia) ever scored for us? I don't buy the strong squad argument because I think the likes of McCormack are a total drain on our resources and offer bugger all in return. Same goes for all the other losers we have at the club on huge wages that make up our supposedly "strong squad". All that aside, I hope we can somehow get a win to help build momentum. It may only be a cup that we can't win but it's still a game we need to try and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
