TheAuthority Posted March 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well this is a big one for many reasons. Automatic promotion, local pride and we should also have have fit squad (bar Hutton & Kodjia) for the 1st time since the end of our 7 match winning run. I hope we go back to mostly the team that was part of that run which includes Thor to give us energy in midfield. Who to plays up top is probably the biggest question but I would go for Davis.

Johnstone Elmo Chester Terry Taylor Thor Hourihane Snodgrass Grealish Albert Hogan/Davis Grabban has to start ahead of Hogan and/or Davis if playing the team above. I would also play Jedi ahead of Thor. Rest of the team picks itself really. Hopefully we stay injury free tonight and Dirty Leeds kick the Wolves team all night tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONCABA Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I think the Leeds game tomorrow will take a lot out of wolves. We hardly broke a sweat against a very poor Sunderland team tonight. I don't see it being such an easy ride for the dog heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Massive game and huge test for us. Fulham did a great job on them the other week and deservedly beat them. They have class throughout their team and we absolutely need to be at our very best to trouble them, in my opinion. We need to hunt and press them all over the park as we did against blues and Bristol City. Hopefully we start Grealish as he brings class, drive, creativity and craft to our forward play. It’s imperative we win the midfield as if we let Wolves’ midfield dominate then we’ll be hard pushed to get something out of the game. We haven’t played well enough for our capability over the past four games, despite getting some wins, although we did show great perseverance against Sheff Weds so we need to be at our best as Wolves are a cut above most in this league.

stegzy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Jedinak for Whelan and Grealish for Hogan and we’re good to go. So happy the injuries have eased up in time for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2018 Considering the situation and the opposition I'd say this is the biggest game we have had for the last 3 or 4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted March 7, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2018 This isn't a game for Jedinak. He's effective against physical sides, but he doesn't have the legs for Wolves' runners. I think if Whelan is out it needs to be Bjarnason this weekend. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Neves will be fresh which is bad news for us. But I think if we give Neves as little time as possible on the ball we have such immense attacking players we can really hurt wolves. their full backs are not great to be honest. Bruce needs to ensure he has a defender on the bench any injuries and he decided to play jedinak at CB we have truly screwed and will lose. This is the game a villa man can make himself a hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan would scare the he'l out of me against wolves. Has to be Thor surely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, this is not a game for Whelan or Jedinak, need more energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) We could be a lot closer to our visitors in the league table on Saturday night than had looked likely a few weeks ago. To do that we need to give a performance like the one we gave when Small Heath turned up for a beating. I would have taken a point from this a few weeks ago and probably still would but we really need a win given how Cardiff and Fulham are stringing wins together. Fulham have recently shown that Wolves can be beaten. A 2-1 win would be very nice. Edited March 7, 2018 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa fans go crazy, we win the next 5 games, get promoted and everyone is happy.

Popular Post wedge Posted March 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well if you've listened to the Dingles this season then we should expect to get beat 79-0 by the Barcelona of the Midlands (Premier League winners 2018/19 and Champions League winners 2019/20) with every goal a sweeping move with all 11 of their world-class players including the goalkeeper touching the ball with a Cruyff flick before an overhead, rabona finish into the top stamp of the net whilst all of our players and fans bow down in a 'we're not worthy' style pose...

Great opportunity to level the score with Wolves and make a statement coming in to the final stages of the season. What a confidence boost a win would be here for our team. It would give us a lot more belief in the big games that come after it without doubt. We conceded 2nd spot to Cardiff recently, this is the perfect opportunity to make amends, winning would put us 4 points behind Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
