What's the cutoff beyond which he can't be included in the matchday sqaud? I'd have thought the deadline for registration already passed, so are we waiting for the FA to confirm that we registered him on time? All a bit weird to not know by now. Odd that we always seem to have a delay in playing our new players over permits, Visas or whatever, other clubs esp the topscum 6 dont seem to affect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think the starting line up tonight will tell us how we are going to approach this one. I think we’ll miss McGinn and it appears Unai doesn’t trust Cash at RB. I think it will likely be: Emi Young Konsa Mings Digne Ramsey Bouba Luiz Buendia Watkins Bailey We need to get back to winning ways tonight. Hoping to see Watkins on the scoresheet!

PieFacE Posted January 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think we'll see Emi Young - Konsa - Mings - Digne Buendia - Luiz - Kamara - Ramsey Bailey - Watkins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfielder that's never in a rush to show himself as a passing option will always limit us though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with Ings instead of Watkins though, and by doing so maybe have Watkins instead of Buendia. I think Emery more likely to go with your setup though. In any case, I'm sure he can't be starting Bailey again. Edit: to clarify, I don't think Bailey is finished, but he is horrifically low on confidence and completely out of form. Giving him the Stevenage game to play himself back in to form was, I felt, a good idea at the time. It didn't work, and he has to try the alternative now. Can't keep picking him in place of others when his performance is so bad, it sends the wrong message. Edited January 13, 2023 by MrBlack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBM Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Agree re Bailey, still like him as a player but taking him out of the firing line is the best course of action at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Only thing Bailey should be starting tonight is a puzzle, while sat wearing his slippers at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn then proceeds to give the ball away, his pass percentages are awful. It's why he needs replaced.... Granted he has been a little better of late since Emery has been here but he's a limited footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him changing from two up top, especially as Leeds have struggled against it - I think it has to be two of Watkins, Ings and Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’m looking forward to this, purely to see how Emery sets us up and manages the game tactically. It’s intriguing and exciting to think how we’ll play when it all clicks, we’ve seen snippets so far and I hope we have a good response to last weekend, tonight. As always though, we know not to get carried away with optimism, something will always pop up to bring us back down. Im expecting a cagey first half that opens up into an entertaining game second half. Hopefully we’re on the right side of victory, I’m saying 2-1 Villa.

OutByEaster? Posted January 13, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think this one will be blood and thunder. 2-2 at half time and not finishing with 22 men. Villa to power through in the second half and take three points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think Bailey must start — batshit crazy if he doesn’t. We simply can’t afford the luxury of citing “poor form” as a reason to bench him. Benches don’t improve form.

Rugeley Villa Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Really up for this game tonight. There’s got to be a big reaction, if not then I worry about us. Think it will be fast and furious and hopefully the fans respond and make it hard for Leeds. Start Bailey, I think it’s the type of game he needs tonight .
