Hanky Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We need to win. I don't think we'll play a completely changed side. Given Lichaj-Herd-Clark-Stevens Albrighton-Delph-Holman/Ireland-Carruthers Weimann-Bowery Is along the lines of what we will go with I think. With a bench of potentially Lowton, Benteke, Gabby, N'Zogbia etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We will almost certainly never see Villa win the league within any of our lifetimes. I used to think that after years of dominance by Liverpool and then Forest came along and then it happened, we won the league. Never say never. It's highly unlikely but who knows what might happen in 5/10/15 years time. Back to the thread. We will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaonsea Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As depressing as this sounds, I believe delph and Clark must be rested. Clark is skipper and our only fit cb and delph is the only midfielder in the squad who isn't easily bullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Sadly the FA Cup isn't a priority for most clubs these days. You can blame Sky/the Premier League or call it evolution. In fact I'm watching SSN at the moment and they haven't even made reference to the FA Cup. Therefore we should probably play the kids, oh hang on! They play week in week out anyway! I think people should shut-up about Carruthers ....he came on last season and took on a player WOW! Other that that he was rubbish. Another Gary Gardner for sure. Remember on here he was lauded as a love child of Messi and Ronaldo. Edited January 5, 2013 by supernova26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Bent and Vlaar have not even been training. I highly doubt they will be fit for tomorrow's match. Also is this being televised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Bent and Vlaar have not even been training. I highly doubt they will be fit for tomorrow's match. Also is this being televised? I believe Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia and Bent all returned to training yesterday and could feature today - I'd expect at least two of them on the bench. Not televised as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Todays game is a good chance for us to show some bouncebackability and get some confidence restored back into the team. I think a few heads will be rotated but we should still win this. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's odd cos I really don't give a shit about this game and I don't think it is important at all, however I DO think it is important that we win, just to boost our confidence if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Am regarding this as a day off from worrying about Villa. It really doesn't matter if we win or lose. Throw the kids on and see what they can do. I would expect them to win because I think McCarthy will have even less interest in fielding a strong side than we will. But if we lose it really doesn't matter. Tuesday's game is far more important, and Saturday's is crucial so let's prepare the strongest squad for that.
