I don't care how we do it, but we need a win... and an exorcist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 This will signal to me if we are in a chance for promotion, if we fail to win I think its a strong side we are not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm dragging the Mrs to this (she's actually quite excited so no dragging required) but she does appreciate we might well lose though. She's not been since we lost 0-3 to Wigan... Was it December 2013? So fingers crossed its a win and a better display now. I'd go with (as I don't think Chester will sign in time): Gollini Hutton Elphick Baker Amavi Bacuna Westwood Tshibola Grealish Ayew McCormack I know Hutton is rubbish, I know Bacuna is poor, I know Grealish isn't a winger and I know Westwood and Tshibola are similar holding players in what they do... But who else have we got!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Westwood won't play surely if he's leaving? Worries me what sort of midfield we'll be putting out for this...can see Gardner starting again! Just have to hope the strikers click for this one as Rotherham will be a relegation struggler and they conceded against a Wolves team with 10 men. If Adama had any sort of fitness I'd throw him in and move Bacuna to RB as at least there's plenty of pace on the right. Amavi in aswell which could happen. We need as much pace in the team as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Having given it further thought and putting Wednesday night behind us: Gollini Bacuna - Elphick - Baker - Amavi Gardner - Westwood - Tshibola Grealish Ayew - McCormack Get the full backs to offer us width, we have to have 3 in midfield because we're simply not strong enough with just 2. Grealish given the opportunity to play more centrally will offer much more I'd have thought. Ayew and McCormack should be ripping this league apart with correct service and I trust Bacuna, Amavi and Grealish to provide that service more than any of our other players. Comfortable 4-0 win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Won't be a walk in a park.. This team has goals in them, there defence is poor, which could work in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Chester was signed in time so throw him in I say...he's been playing for Wales all summer so should be sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If Baker is fit, it would be madness to start Chester IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I can't see Amavi being fit enough to start this after playing his first game of the season mid-week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 we need another check side -----------------------Gunn Hutton----Richards------Lescott----Cissokho --------Westwood------------Gardner Bacuna-----------------------------Grealish ----Agbonlahor--------------Gestede That should do it and prompt another 6 or 7 new signings ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'd like to see Gollini Chester Elphick Baker Green Tschibola Amavi Vertout McGoal Grealish Ayew Bunn Okore Gardner Westwood RHM Kozak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I was actually more worried about the Luton fixture than I am this one. Not sure why. Do think we'll finally get that long awaited win. 2-0 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 They have goals in them 2-2 draw and a 5-4 loss. Worried that they may get a goal or 2 with our shit defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
