mikeyp102 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hopefully keep a clean sheet for once... Steer Lowton-Okore-Vlaar-Luna Gardner-Sylla-Bacuna Tonev - Weimann - Helenious I'd have Andi and Helenious swapping throughout. Now I know Andi probably needs a rest more than everyone, but I think his confidence needs uplifting by scoring and he could do that here. Plus it's then international break so may not start for them Edited August 26, 2013 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The very first match I remember seeing at VP was Villa v Rotherham in the League Cup final in 1961. Rotherham were 2-0 up after the first leg. It was 2-0 to Villa at 90 minutes in the 2nd leg and Packy McParland scored the winner in extra time. So there is a bit of history to live up to here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd play the second string. Stick the big guns on the bench just in case. Give all the new boys and a couple of kids a run out.

The Fun Factory Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Had a look on the online seat thingy and there are loads of seats avaliable still. Might have to adjust my 25,200 prediction to more like 15,200! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to adjust my 25,200 prediction to more like 15,200! my thoughts exactly , could be an embarrassingly low turn out , even worse when you consider 2 and a half weeks until the next game , would guess at less than 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Gonna say 3-1 us and a decent line-up minus obvious changes (resting Benteke and giving Steer a go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2013 Steer Bacuna Okore Baker Bennett Sylla KEA Gardner Tonev Helenius Weimann For me we need to be playing Bacuna in midfield whenever we do use him. That's his primary position and it's the one he needs most practice at. IMV his pre-season spent at RB is one of the reasons he looked so out of place against Liverpool. He suffered at Groningen by being bounced from pillar to post and if we're going to get the best out of him we need to start putting him in his preferred position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd like to see a couple of the new boys given a chance in this one. Guzan Herd Okore Clark Bennett Sylla KEA Bacuna Tonev Helenius Gabby Have the likes of Benteke on the bench incase it's tight, eg bring him on if we are only a goal ahead after an hour. Also give G Gardner a 30 min run out, doubt Sylla would last 90 mins anyway as not match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spoony Posted August 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2013 I reckon Helenius is gonna tear it up and give Benteke something to think about. I do think Benteke needs the slightest kick up the arse from what I've seen so far *ducks* 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd like to see Grealish involved at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The other day we had sold 10.500 so with the tickets we have sold since then plus walk ups on the night and with around 4 or 5 thousand rotherham I think it will be 20k plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Anything less than 20k would be very poor. There were 39k Villa fans v Liverpool. Shouldnt be too much to ask for half of them to turn up when it's 10-15 quid a ticket, then Rotherham have sold over 3k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 There were 42000 against Liverpool unless they lied when they read out the attendance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) I dunno. We've had 3 games in a week which we took very good support to. The attendance for this game really doesn't matter. I'm certainly not going. Edited August 27, 2013 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
