Teale's 'tache Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 After such a long break it kind of feels like organisation and preparation will be more important factors than any ordinary game, with that in mind we couldn't be facing a much tougher opponent. However, we can only of benefited from the break, we were looking pretty ragged before it, the extra time to work on system/shape, integration of players and the fitness of McGinn can only of helped us. We had no real momentum to lose (other than Jacks form), whereas I'm sure Wilder would of preferred no break given the momentum behind their campaign. Form is out of the window now, we've no idea what levels the two teams are at, and that gives us more of a chance than we had before the break. TLDR: I have no idea!

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Seems like I'm in the minority, but I'd much prefer Reina in goal to Nyland. Yes, Reina had a howler vs Leicester, but he was very good in most games for us. Nyland is the reverse - he was great vs Leicester but very poor for the majority of his appearances for us.

Khizzy Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 That leaked teamsheet has "Ojran Nyland" in goal... I doubt the club would mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted June 17, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2020 Good luck to the Villa today which is the start of a very difficult run in but a major bonus is having a fresh and fit McGinn back to bolster the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) The weather in Shirley is absolutely terrifying. We have water in the side passage which has only happened once in 10 years and we've had improved drainage since then. You could canoe down the road. Is this weather capable of getting the match called off? Unless is stops pretty soon the pitch is going to be waterlogged assuming Aston is even close to this Edited June 17, 2020 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Doubt Nyland will be in goal and I'd also be surprised if McGinn started, Guilbert's meant to have been carrying a knee injury as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I actually didnt mind the football being cancelled. Didn't think I would miss it, and to an extent I didn't. But boy oh boy am I excited it is back. COME ON VILLA. the season to date doesnt matter. Fresh start. Let's do this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it seems a bit OTT to me ? Pointless isn't it. Read that we'd be split across both dressing rooms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Fleck and O'Connell being out for them could be huge for us. They're both mainstays in the side and Fleck especially is a very underrated player. We can beat this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it seems a bit OTT to me ? It’s all about reducing close distance multiplied by time to as little as is practical whilst still completing a competitive football match. Close contact time between players is significantly less than being sat next to someone for 90+ minutes. Separation of substitutes also follows the ‘where possible’ advice during work activities.
