Mark Albrighton Posted November 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2018 In which case I guess Whelan in for McGinn with Hourihane moving a bit further forwards is the most obvious alternative. I’ll be happy when this game is out of the way to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Midfield and forward are our stronger areas, a shame but but we can cope and I hate it when we risk players fitness for one game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Chester starting is a bonus. McGinn not ready for this - hopefully he'll be back for the next two. Bolasie still on the bench but a good option to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Mcginn out massive blow. Whenever we play these lot we always havw one of our key players out t Ffs. O hare in the bench wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted November 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2018 Whelan will have to cover a lot of ground, if we get a couple of goals up might be worth trying lansbury in there to just knock it about and get them chasing shadows.I like Kodija starting left and threatening to come inside, Henry style. Jack and Hourihane should have too much for them technique wise. Defence unchanged. Like it. Shame no McGinn but Whelan will be up for the physical side today you'd think. Let's smash these words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Smith does not clearly rate bree. Even with elmo as onky defensive option bree nowhere to be seen. If chester gets injured we have no defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely the weak link here. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchmefoot Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ugh Whelan. May be physical but also slow and prone to giving the ball away in dangerous positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted November 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) We'll pumped. 1030pm kick off here which is quite reasonable for here. Plus first job tomorrow is local so can nick another half hours sleep. I'm a little concerned that McGinn is out because he truly is our horsepower and drive. Like someone else said I hope Hourihane pushes forward a bit more. Though I am fairly certain under Smith that's exactly what will happen. O'Hare being picked up on the bench is just the fresh air that needed blowing around the club. I'll admit I'm bias, I am a Dean Smith fan, but I'm certain he knows exactly what he is doing and has a plan moving forward. He'll get us promoted, he'll keep us up there too.... The next Eddie Howe. PS. Small world story. Did a job in Adelaide as I was finishing I noticed that they had a Villa sticker on their car. Got chatting about the mighty Villa and turns out that the people I did a job for, their son went to school with Dean Smiths daughter when he was at Walsall. They saw him around the school and that a bit and said he was a genuinely nice person. Edited November 25, 2018 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we should go gung ho every game but we should believe we can score one more goal than any team in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Shame about McGinn but we should still have the beating of them. Go you Villans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
