Phumfeinz Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hope Helenius and Tonev get a proper run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Really not sure whether to go to this. Can't get excited about it. Chance to see some of the new boys score a shed load of goals. Cheap deals in the ground. Villa Park always looks amazing in the lights. Payback after the last time a league two side from Yorkshire came to Villa Park. The fact its the repeat of the first ever League Cup final. The fact that this used to be our cup. That it will be our year for the cup, so get your booking history in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I think it could be a run out for those who haven't started a game yet, I agree with those of the opinion it'd be good to see Weimann start to get off the mark but maybe the rest may do him good if he doesn't. Potentially? (Not quite sure on everyone who is on loan) Steer Herd Donacien Clark/Baker Bennett Gardner Tonev Sylla Albrighton Helenius Bowery With Weimann, Westwood etc on the bench.

Czechlad Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I dont think we will see that many changes. Even last season, Lambert just swapped a few of the fringe players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I agree. The last thing Lambert silk want at this point in the season is more egg on the face. Maybe the big fella will start on the bench but it will be a strong team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 definitely think he should give the new boys who aint really featured yet a proper run out, id leave weimann and benteke out completely to give them a break as I thought weimann looked like he needed it against Liverpool, by no means put a weak team out but id rest a few players and let tonev and helenius get some action, really cant decide wether im goin to this or not,but come the day I will probably want to, just don't fancy getting in at gone 11 for a nothing midweek game, crowd of 25k is expected, blues would struggle to get that even in the premier league, bet Rotherham will be bringing around 4k though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted August 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2013 i'd like to see gardner, tonev and helenius starting, give bacuna another run out but from right back maybe too. we have a good long break after this match anyway so rest shouldn't be too much of an issue as long as there's no-one at risk of a muscular injury that played in the last 3.

OutByEaster? Posted August 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2013 Really not sure whether to go to this. Can't get excited about it. Other than this our next home match isn't until the 14th September - I'm hoping that'll help boost the attendance. With Liverpool tickets having pretty much sold out, for some people this will be their only opportunity to get to a game until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'd still keep a strong defence, just to not risk shipping goals, but we can probably experiment a bit more in the attack. Give Tonev/Helenius a start and keep the usual starters on the bench just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm on holiday for the newcastle game and my first away game this season won't be until hull or west ham so if I don't go to this game it will be weeks before I see the lads in action, I think I better get my arse to this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think I would go with: Guzan Herd Okore Clark Bennett Bacuna Sylla Delph Tonev Helenius Agbonlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwichmann Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Think Andi should start. Could do with getting off the mark for the season. He could use a goal, but he has a very high work rate and after games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in quick succession he might be better off with a break. There is no point playing tired players in this one for me. Anyway, plenty of games left for him to get off the mark yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 we've got a long spell after this game before our next match haven't we? Lambert will want to get some of those players match fit I think. I can see Wiemann starting to get a goal - there's a good old pause after this steer herd okore and baker ( if fit ) bennett sylla gardner bacuna albrighton helenius wiemann.

BOF Posted August 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2013 Please rest Tekkers. The end.I'd tend to agree although there are 3 weeks between this and our next game so they'll all get ample rest regardless (Belgium games notwithstanding of course).

I'd tend to agree although there are 3 weeks between this and our next game so they'll all get ample rest regardless (Belgium games notwithstanding of course). If Benteke got injured against Rotherham id be so angry its untrue. But that aside, I think its an opportunity to try out Helenius in that role - and use Tonev and Bcuna perhaps as a front three. Id also play Okore as he will still be slightly short on match fitness. A comfortable win at home (and dare I say a clean sheet) would hopefully give us a bit of confidence ahead of the International break - in preparation for Newcastle. Although we know we cant take any of that for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hope to see lots of changes for this one. I'd go: Steer Herd Clark Baker Bennett Sylla Bacuna Gardner Helenius Bowery Tonev If Grealish could get a run-out in the second half that would be great too.

I can see Wiemann starting to get a goal - there's a good old pause after this There is a long rest, although some players will have internationals. But nonetheless, if they are knackered they're not going to perform well, and that could give us a nasty embarrassment. I'd rather put a few of the new boys in if they're a bit fresher.
