It is quite difficult. He got us to within 90 minutes of one in his first full season with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Full strength. Had a crap pre season. Minutes in the bank for our first team plus mins for youngers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Well we know Targett took a knock but there didn't appear to be any concerns for Cash following the Everton game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The carabao cup would be an excellent trophy to have and I say it that it's a signal by claiming it this season. Personally I don't think were ready for europe so why not capture it and go full strength team. Just reading from Chelsea fans and they think they may be fielding the B team including Barkley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginema Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Winning silverware is always a positive thing so I think Villa should go for a strong squad tonight. Even if Chelsea rotates most of its squad, they have such an embarassment of riches that we cant expect to play mostly youngsters and get something out of it.

villaglint Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It's by far our best chance to getting some silverware and also going to Wembley so I hope we go as strong as possible injuries perimitting. Usually our thread bare squad makes me well up for some rotation but we've got numbers this year so will need everyone through the course of the season.

est1874 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Emi posted a "Matchday" story on Instagram suggesting he might start? I'd have expected Steer for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'd say Steer Cash, Axel, Mings, Young Nakamba, Sanson/JJ Traore Buendia El Ghazi Watkins Something like that. I'm quite sure of the front 4. Assume Chuk and JPB won't start and will come off bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Still think the team below will be close to the team tonight. Quite excited and think we’ll do well and sneak through: Martinez Cash Tuanzebe Hause Young Nakamba Sanson (if fit) Buendia Traore Watkins El Ghazi Subs: Steer, Konsa, Targett, Ramsey 1, Ramsey 2, Chuk 1, Chuk 2, JPB, Archer Full rest for Mings, Luiz, McGinn, Bailey, Ings.

Paul33 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Wouldn't expect any of Smith's favoured starting XI for Saturday to play tonight ..... its just not what he does ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
