Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted October 14, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm not signing up for this "we ought to attack everyone" just because of the badge on our shirt. Look at what has happened at Wolves over the last 18 months. They've brought in a lot of good players, including two who are heralded as among the best youngsters in European football. Can we beat them? Yes. Should we sit back, defend and hope for the best? No. Should be box clever, figuring out how to nullify their threats (pace in the wide forward positions and a dynamic midfield) and making the most of our own? Absolutely. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 This game could define our season. Win, and I believe we'll be in with a very good shot at promotion. Lose, and I think we'll be fighting for 6th. Ignore this post if we draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could win this and finish bottom or lose this and finish top. There are still 30+ games to go. That's why it's important we don't do anything stupid and play to our strengths. This will be a very tough game and I'd be happy to take a point if we can't find a way to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Wolves 1 villa 3 - not an easy game but we have a very good experienced team and are good enough to turn wolves over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2017 Gutted. Not only could I not get a ticket ending a long series of pre/post match piss ups with my Wolves obsessive mate (interrupted only by 90 minutes of 'football') but my kids are competing in an indoor athletics tournament starting 5.45 so I can't even watch in on the tellybox. Think I will turn the phone off and watch it when I get home as if it's live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Finally back to the real stuff. A do not lose fixture for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The easier games are done. Rightfully, our form looks good because of it. Today, however, is the real test. Against tougher competition that will require smart tactical moves and a bit of class to win. Over to you, Bruce & Co. I really hope we win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Massive game. Lets see what this VIlla side is made of. I am still skeptical as we have won against easy sides (as we did last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 5 hours ago, wilko154 said: Really hope Bruce doesn't bottle this and play defensively, after watching his interview he seems concerned by their attacking trio. If we adjust our tactics to match their strike force, playing 3 at the back or dropping a CDM in, then it will reduce the attacking intent of our own side and pile some more pressure on us. In this league we shouldn't fear any team, our squad is more than capable of beating anyone without having to adjust our tactics. We are capable of beating any team in this league, if we show, intensity and urgency, thats my worry. at times we can look leggy and lethargic.....perhaps we lack some pace in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about weather Wolves are the Man City of the championship or not, it's about playing to our strengths and exposing their weaknesses. If you pay a high line against a fast team you are asking for trouble. Whoever it's against. Also I didn't say it's to early to worry about results!! I said it's too early to worry about other teams results. Huge difference. I thought Bruce didn't do " tactics " ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2017 I despise this "We're Aston Villa! We should be attacking everyone because we're a big club!" Hopefully our players don't show the same arrogance in their preparations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
