VILLAMARV

Recommended Posts

I hope Bolasie gets an hour if he’s anywhere near it. Lansbury and Bree need games as does De Laet. I imagine we will see 9 or 10 changes again, which will lead to players playing in preferred positions rather than shoehorned into the 11!

2-1 Villa. Scrappy game. Hourihane and Green to score.

Our first cup meeting with the Brewers. We have yet to lose to Nigel Clough's side having won 3 and drawn 1 of the ,previous 4 league games between the two clubs. The game at Sheffield at the weekend has priority here and that record is at threat should we play anything like we did in the previous round. They will be well up for this one and our players will know they have been in a game at the end of it. Our current fringe players should relish the opportunity that this competition gives them to press their case for future first team consideration. Whether they do so or not will determine whether they get another chance to do so in 2018. I'm not over confident that we will be in the next round after tonight.

Another great chance for the second string to deliver a promising performance and a promising result. Just imagine in the next round, plucky little Aston Villa drawing one of the big boys from the Premier League, like Watford, Bournemouth, Brighton or Huddersfield and bringing them to Villa Park under the floodlights, and all that hot dog razzamatazz... ?

Would be nice to have a big cup night at Villa Park again.

This game should be used for the following....

Part 1.....play tuanzebe in the centre of defence

Part 2....keep squad sharp

Part 3....play tuanzebe in the centre of defence

This is in no particular order!
