ciggiesnbeer Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Always like this fixture. Feels very traditional. Also nice to play with the better class of local clubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2021 So who won't be available? Is it just the international bunch that won't be back? Grealish, Mings, Luiz and Martinez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as I'd imagine thale ground will be half full. Unless villa fans buy loads in the Walsall end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster?

Hourihane will be available, I imagine McGinn will make the bench. Davis will also be available so possibly looking at a 4-4-2 with the limited numbers in the midfield.

useless Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'd expect to see most of the youngsters that have been training with the first team - Marschall, Sinisalo, Seb Revan, Bogarde, Kesler, Raikhy, Aaron Ramsey, Chukwuemeka, Philogene-Bidace, Wright, Young, and Barry - play some part against Walsall. That's why the game against Leamington which was also due to be played this Wednesday has been callled off, so the U23 players can take part on this fixture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 why wouldnt Sanson be available?, is he still recovering from his injury? I assume Traore has been on international duty recently or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're developing the kind of depth that makes it more difficult for all of the youngsters to play in pre-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be too early for him most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be that I've never found the bar, but I don't think you can get drinks inside the ground. I'm not sure about pubs around the area either, but I drank in the bar at the Radisson last time we played them. It's right next to the stadium. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one year I was in the side stand, there was a little bar. Not sure if that's still there/open. In terms of drinking near the ground I've only ever been to that hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc456 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 As others have mentioned The fullbrook is a short walk away from the ground and also serves Indian food, shame if it has shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
