I just wish I hadn’t booked a table out for me and the missus on the assumption that it wouldn’t be on the TV oops. Unlimited ribs and wings tho for £13, be rude not to! More importantly, where on earth is a deal like that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, useless said: Steer Kesler Engels Hause Taylor Nakamba J Ramsey Hourihane Trezeguet El Ghazi Davis Will surely be a way stronger team that that. If we put out reserves we run risk of going undercooked going into Sheffield game given they've played tonight and also got a leage cup game. I think most of our 11 for first prem match will start, hopefully we're winning 2 or 3 nil by hour-70 mins and then 3 of them can be subbed off. Certainly expecting Watkins to start.

TheMelvillan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Play the duds. Get em in the shop window so we can get rid and make room for actual footballers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don't think we need a third central midfielder against a team that lost to Fleetwood Town two days ago. Full strength with two forwards for me. Steer Guilbert Konsa Engels Targett Trez McGinn Luiz Grealish Watkins Samatta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just looking forward to seeing us play again...and yes, I probably will regret saying this when we are 1-0 down in the 85th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'd play full strength and maybe just give rest to those who has played internationals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I see this as a final preseason warm up, it’s a chance to find a bit more team cohesion ahead of Sheffield United next week. The team picks itself for me. Steer Cash Konsa Mings Targett Douglas-Luiz McGinn Hourihane Trezeguet Grealish Watkins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think we'll see the first XI out tonight. We arent playing again until monday so they will have time to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 yes fairly strong I hope as it's a good competitive warm up match this. Steer; Cash, Konsa Mings Targett, Luiz McGinn Hourihane, El Ghazi, Watkins, Trezeguet. Grealish on bench. Give Samata some game time second half.

rubberman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Should field pretty much the first team for this IMO. Interesting to see if Jack plays in the middle or on the left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Give Jack the night off. I expect Burton would have to resort to kicking lumps out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'd go fairly strong for this. Not as if we've had some intense pre season and we don't play again until Monday. Steer Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Luiz McGinn - Hourihane Trez - Watkins - Grealish Basically what we just played against United but I wouldn't mind Ramsey in for Hourihane and go 4231.

John Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We have played Burton five times in all. We have met them four times in the Championship in seasons 2016/17 & 2017/18. As has been said, we were beaten 1-0 at The Pirelli Stadium in this competition two years ago. That was an occasion where our then boss, found that making wholesale team changes can result in a humiliating defeat. Burton were up for it that night and we certainly were not. Overall, we have had three wins, a draw and the aforementioned cup defeat against The Brewers. Do we really want a run in this competition again and a trip to Reading, or to Northampton in the next round? Probably not, but this game will provide a welcome run out for players who did not get an international call-up or who got one, but didn't play or didn't play more than a few minutes. I think we will start this game with something approaching a first team line-up. We could do with retaining the optimism that our recent signings (Jack in particular today) have given us and we don't want to start the new season off with a televised defeat, so a win it is. Hopefully, we will be in a position to make some early second half substitutions, but Burton demonstrated two years ago, that they won't make it easy for us. Will Jed be between the sticks? Will Jack, Tyrone and our new signings start? I'm looking forward to it and I'm hoping that the players selected, will take the opportunity to show that they are well up for the new season as well.

Bomvilla7 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm SO excited for this! expecting a full strength team in preparation for the Sheffield United game at the weekend. I think they are there for the taking and its a great opportunity to get 3 points and a good start to the season. I think Trez will start but we might go 2 up top with Davis alongside Watkins and Jack behind. 3-0 Villa and a huge air or positivity in our sails going into the weekend. Grealish, Watkins and McGinn Steer Cash Mings / Konsa Targett McGinn Luiz Hourihane Trez Watkins Grealish Subs: Nyland, Lansbury, Samatta, AEM, Davis, Hause, Vassilev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
