wedge Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm expecting a noble loss unfortunately, we actually had one of our better games last season in this fixture last year under McLeish until Cisse predictably scored the winner on his debut. I'm not expecting anything so as long as we have a go at them and the intent to win is there I'll be satisfied. I think Ba and Cisse will have a field day against our defence however.

nobler Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Would have been nice if Newcastle's European game tonight was away from home, It's definitely the sort of squad that will be heavily affected after playing Thursday night games. That said, I have a feeling we might nick a draw here. Of course it wouldn't at all surprise me if we lost 4-0, but yeah, a bit of optimism, I'll go for 1-1.

Hev Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wy is this a 4.00 kick off? It's not on the TV? Means a late return home on a Sunday night with work the next day. I know it's on Sunday because of Newcastle being in Europa League by why at 4.00?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it's Liverpool v Arsenal at 1.30 followed by Southampton v Man Utd at 4.00 on Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 4-0 newcastle and barely a shot on target. I have a feeling this will even more of a debacle than last.weekend. Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote, Guitierrez, Ba and Cisse with Given,Lowton,Bennett,Vlaar and Baker as the defence. No chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I've got a sneaky feeling for a 1-0 Villa win here. Could be letting my heart rule my head but come on the Villa our season needs to get started, Ron Vlaar 90th minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular_john Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Did Westwood and Benteke sign in time to play this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Did Westwood and Benteke sign in time to play this game? They had to be signed by midday to play I think. Benteke said in his interview he had not signed in time so I assume the same with Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Did Westwood and Benteke sign in time to play this game? No, neither signed in time I'd go something like -------------Given Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett ------KEA --- Herd --Ireland -------- Bannan / Holman ------Bent -- Wiemann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Bennett hasn't played at all this season from what i understand. throwing him in the deep end at sjp probably isn't the best idea. If expect Lichaj to play at left back and Baker in the middle. Perhaps Bennett as a late sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Think i'd go with: Guzan Lowton-Vlaar-Baker-Lichaj ------KEA-------Delph------ Ireland---------------Holman ------Bent---Weimann------- Give Bennett, last 30 mins depending on match fitness.

moose Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Did Westwood and Benteke sign in time to play this game? Nope, but I'd expect Guzan to start and Bennett to make his debut in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
