CI Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 When are some of our experienced players due back ? The sooner we have them back and playing the sooner we can start to dig ourselves out of this mess, but when are they actually due back ? Ron Vlaar ? Gabby ? C NZogbia ? DB9 ? Dunne ? Then there's Baker Enda Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Gabby and Vlaar are the only players Lambert really used anyway so i'm not sure why he keeps on bringing up the injuries.. yes it is bad but when they were fit he never used them anyway.

When we had a full strength squad, i'd agree but do you think the likes of N'Zogbia, Bent and Dunne would still be frozen out with the others missing??? If they'd been available for the last three matches, they'd have played some part for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Stevens was on bench at weekend Vlaar is ok but not match fit last I saw Gabby and Bent no updates N'zogbia no updates but annoying how he has injured knee twice in training .. Dunne recently had Op be lucky to ever see him in the team again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted December 31, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) N Baker - Hamstring - no return date NZogbia - Knee - 1st Jan (doubtful for next match) Gabby - Thigh Muscle Strain - 12th Jan D Bent - Hamstring - no return date R Vlaar - Calf/Shin Injury - 1st Jan (doubtful for next match) G Gardner - Cruciate - May 13th Dunne - Gilmores Groin - no return date Edited December 31, 2012 by romavillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ok thanks so by the time Southampton come to Villa Park we could potentially have Gabby Zog and Vlaar in the team? Would be a major boost. Bent - no return date ? Hmmm odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hopefully we have Vlaar, Gabby and Nzog back before Bradford. Gabby/Nzog should have the ability to tear Bradford apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walesavfc Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Be nice to have that bit of experience in the team by 12th. Hope time scale is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Be interesting to see when Bent is back in the squad, he actually played pretty well against Norwich. I had favoured Benteke, but having seen his last few performances a change might be necessary. Getting Vlaar and Gabby back is crucial, hopefully they'll play by the 12th.
