wedge Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have really no idea who will play in this one, the only certainty relating to personnel is that there will be more Villa fans than Walsall inside the stadium! It will be nice to see the new away kit in the flesh for the first time as well as they often look better on the players than on the internet...

Moderator OutByEaster? Posted July 13, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2011 Selection for this will be very interesting - we normally play the kids and fringe players, but given that we've not got much at the moment I wonder if we might see a stronger than usual line up I'd go: 1st half ------------------Guzan---------------------- Beye------Dunne-------Collins-------Young Albrighton----Ireland------Petrov-----Delph --------------Bent-----Agbonlahor---------- 2nd half -------------------Marshall------------------- Lichaj-----Clark-------Baker-------Warnock Herd-------Makoun----Gardner----Bannan -----------Delfouneso----Heskey---------- What's worrying about those line ups is that they're as strong as we've got - in all honesty, I suspect we'll see Carruthers, Parish and some of the kids - maybe Jordan Graham or Juan Serrano. Jeepers we need to get buying and soon - that squad needs a lot of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Wll Gardner and Baker are away with the England U20s by then? Weimann is in the Austria squad too I think. The U20 World Cup starts 30th July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You'd hope so, we ain't got many pre-season fixtures anyway, they need to feature in pretty much all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 We should win this.. the aim really is for fitness etc and the aim for the defenders (Dunne and Collins im talking about you) is to try and maintain a positive solid performance with little to no errors which should lead to a cleansheet.

RMB Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Walsall have already played a game or two so might have a little more in the tank than us. Obviously a win isn't important but it would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OutByEaster? Posted July 20, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2011 Gary Gardner playing tonight against Boldmere along with many of the other reserve players, I wonder what sort of team we'll be looking at for this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looking forward to the boys getting a run out no matter the result. I would expect AM will split the team into two halves like suggested earlier. It will give us a look at what formation he maybe looking at if nothing else.

Villamad08 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 From what I have heard from Walsall mates is that Walsall are in their away kit so we may play in our home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 i think we'll lose tonight, i mean we always lose to walsall pre-season. Cue mass hysteria tommorow. LOL Anyhow think i'd like to see Bannan play LW, it'll be very interesting to see who we do play in that position. Delph and Makoun in the middle please, and maybe use Ireland in wide position rather than have a League 1 side over run us in midfield if he played Centre.
