Mark Albrighton Posted November 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well Gestede doesn’t look like he’ll feature for them. Can’t work out if that’s good or not. While I don’t rate him, as a former player I’d half expect him to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don't want them to score first, but I no longer fear going behind like I used to under Bruce. Even 2-0 down the other night after 7 minutes I was quite confident we'd make a game of it. That we were 2-2 after 14 minutes exceeded even my expectations, but this Villa team are fearless and don't get demotivated easily. This will be fascinating, because as much as Pulis can suck the life-force out of a game, I'm not sure he'll be able to stifle this Villa team. He willingly cedes possession and prioritises organisation. I'm not sure giving us the ball will be the cleverest thing to do, and I don't think his side are capable of retaining possession even if they knew it was what was required. I love that teams are afraid of us already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Think we’ll lose this. 2.0 Boro and a very frustrating afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hutton is suspended, so Elmo comes in. Nyland was so bad, and Bunn is half retired. I think we need to try Moreira. I am hesitant on McGinn. He is not fully fit, and I know Hourihane got a ton of flack for his last match, but McGinn did not do his defensive responsibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Chester struggling (from his performances), McGinn half fit, we don’t have the defensive grit of Adomah, Cafu is out and we can’t defend. Pulis and his set pieces against whichever keeper we decide to field... I think we’re gonna ship a lot. 5-3 loss for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted November 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2018 Good need for the lad. I can see us sneaking this as Pulis will be more interested in stopping us than winning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
