wedge Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Cuellar at CB instead of Collins please with L.Young brought in to RB, Carew has got to start instead of Heskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Go on then I'd go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Milner Petrov Young Carew Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Carew has scored in all 3 games that he has played against Stoke (IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Go on then I'd go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Milner Petrov Young Carew Gabby. Thats our strongest XI,funny we dont play it very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Go on then I'd go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Milner Petrov Young Carew Gabby. Thats our strongest XI,funny we dont play it very often.Perhaps after today MON will finally bench Heskey and start playing Carew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Carew has to start. I think that will be the only change as MON will play Collins, Dunney and Carlos to combat their high balls. Really need a win in this but think 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Carew will play, as will Cuellar, Collins and Dunne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 We've got to watch those throw-ins, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 We will concede one goal from those throw ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady08 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 He will start with carlos at right back, has to with their throws. At least shawcross will still be suspended so thats a plus because he seems to get his head on most of them. It will be a very tough game but hopefually we can nick it. They have a game on wednesday night as well so might take a bit out of them 3 games in 6 days. If we could win here, it would be a massive 3 points in our chase for 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I hate playing Stoke. We will lose this I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Few injuries for Stoke, Diao and Whelan will both be injured for this one so they're a bit light in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 don't worry they've still got amdy faye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's really important to win this in my view, both to kill the memory of that awful defeat last season and to help us stay with the 4th place-hunting pack. I haven't got a clue if we can/will win it. It's very hard to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Think we'll lose. Sorry Folks. This is a real big game IMO, and it comes on the back of 2 super - huge games. I think mental tiredness with creep in unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm going for a draw, but I could see a close win out of this. It's just as important not to overestimate Stoke as it is to underestimate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undesirable Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It'll be nice to have Gabby fresh for this game and hopefully a hungry Carew alongside him in attack. We can mix it with Stoke physically but we shouldn't the physical battle take precedence over our passing game, the last thing we want to get into is a long ball battle. 0-1 Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would imagine Stoke will line up: Sorensen Wilko Huth Faye Higgy/Collins Lawrence Whitehead Delap Pugh Sidibe Fuller Subs: Begovic, Kitson, Tuncay, Etherington Am Faye, Collins, Davies. Playing Burnley away so might lose a few more to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
