OutByEaster? Posted December 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2021 So, a chance for a skeleton Villa squad to play their second game in 48 hours against a Leeds team that will have had ten days off. Seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems fair. I think their training ground has just been closed because of five fresh Covid cases, on top of loads of injuries. They're not going to be full strength, if the game goes ahead at all.

rjw63 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Will we get the Watford Villa or the Southampton Villa? If it's the latter we will batter these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Can’t see Bamford, Phillips or Copper starting this one, with only Bamford returning to the bench yesterday but not coming on. That has to be a plus. If we can repeat the performance of yesterday we’ll be too much for them but showing some consistency is key now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I know we always seem to struggle against these but please can we turn up and give them a good hiding. Their form since drawing with us (albeit a tough run of games): 5 straight defeats, 18 goals conceded, only 2 goals scored, and didn't score in 4 of those 5 games. In fairness they played well against Leicester and were very unlucky to lose, but they don't seem to have adapted their style much since Bielsa. If they try to dominate the ball, push their defence high up and go gung ho which I suspect they will, we should have lots of space to exploit their poor defence and score at least a couple but our defence needs to be much less generous than it was in the home game. Another good win will be really handy going into a tough run of games starting at West Ham next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
