wilko154 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Bit of rotation in this one, a few players could do with resting against an average/poor Reading side. Nyland De Laet Chester Jedinak Hutton Hourihane McGinn Elmo Grealish Green Kodjia Jedinak is only in there because Bruce won't drop him. Personally I would play Tuanzebe, however after listening to Bruce's Pre Match I think he will rest him Saturday. Whelan needs resting, we saw last season that he can't play too many games in a short space. Bjarnasson could come in, but I want to see what Hourihane, McGinn and Grealish look like as a three from the start. Adomah looked knackered at the end on Wednesday, give him a rest with Green coming in... unless El Ghazi is passed and fit enough to start on either the left or right. Think we should bury this lot, but we need to start as we did on Wednesday and take the chances we create. Hourihane could make a massive difference and will have a point to prove in the middle.

That looks quite good considering it's a home game we should win. ....I'll be shocked if Bruce agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Really up for this one too. Can see a packed house for this, feel good times coming back, good exciting football, high energy, goals and attacking intent. People will be flocking back if we keep this up. I guarantee we will hit the 35k mark for this. Reading will win 3-0. Back to 30k for the next home game. Come on boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Have we received the international clearance for El Ghazi to play this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once the normal transfer documentation is done (before midday today) then he'll be available, fitness notwithstanding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 So Hutton has a broken nose from the other night and is touch and go. Bruce confirms he's persisting with Jedi at CB. Conclusion; we need to score at least 2 to win. 4-2 Villa Kodjia x4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too cocky people they are shit but we havent been great this year yet. Time to start playing bruce we have dropped 4 points in the last two That's the CB position sorted then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Reading have won one (3-1 in season 2016/17) of their twelve visits to Villa Park. We beat them 3-0 four months ago and a repeat of that would be very nice tomorrow. We need the win so let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 They won't open the upper trinity tomorrow, but by KO everywhere will be sold out apart from the upper Doug Ellis, which has loads of seats left. Can't see Reading bringing many either. A convincing win please villa. We should wipe the floor with this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2018 Ruge’s wise words prompted me to look at the number of tickets left, there’s 160 left in the Holte anyway. Won’t get chance to go to a Saturday game until November now, so there’s 159 left in the Holte now. Just win please Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 My boss at St Mirren has got me a ticket to watch this game at my request. I reckon 3-1 to Villa (Jimmy Danger to score another brace) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play to the levels we did Wednesday then it’ll be a convincing win. Bruce said in his presser that there will be changes, so I expect the likes of Bjarnason, Hourihane, Taylor and El Ghazi coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
