Not fit enough to play two games so close together? Maybe alternating the position with a view to Friday’s game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eholm Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I guess Thor’s 2 international games plus 90 mins vs Swans makes it sensible to rotate.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkir and McGinn back on Friday? Feels good to have decent options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Smith ruthless with the bolasie omission. Looked way off the pace and disinterested Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm concerned that we'll fall apart last half hour and concede a couple. I just hope that, if we do go for it from the off, we can score 2 or 3 and kill any spirit they may have. Like others have said, Norwich are doing well this season and I just hope that we don't come away with a confidence-shattering defeat. Come on the Villa - make them pay for what they did you us last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith rotated lots at Brentford, winning sides at that. Friday night is a quick turnaround too. He places a big emphasis on the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Surprised there are no defenders in the bench, but roughly the same team no real suprise other than Bjarnasson/whelan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, how’s that little novel you’ve been working on? Got a compelling protagonist? Got an obstacle for him to overcome? A little heartbreak, you know, work it into the story? Some twists and turns? A little epilogue? Ohhh i look forward to reading it. I just your pic and name this immediately came to my head... had to watch it on YouTube. So funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eholm Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Interesting that DS has told Hinchcliffe that he may not have the players to play exactly as he did at Brentford so will need to adapt accordingly. Confirms what most of us thought, as in, it will take Smith potentially 2 transfer windows to get HIS style in place. With the players we have, I’m not surprised. Looking forward to the exciting journey ahead. Edited October 23, 2018 by eholm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 Bench is light on actual defenders! Be interesting to see if that's 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 Its almost laughable we have just one player for each of the CB and LB roles, we are just smacking fate in the testis with a wet towel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
