Was also saying in the interview that its a free hit for them and a money spinner but they will be looking to give a decent game to whatever team is played by villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a “decent game” doesn’t involve kicking the living sh*t out of our players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looking forward to this and to see what team is put out. I hope we go strong myself and have us a goal-fest but as long as we win I don't really care tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 We should be winning this game with whatever team more than 95 times out of every 100. That's not a *guarantee* of course - you can lose any game - but it would rightly be considered a big shock if we don't. Still got to take it seriously and do the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether we make wholesale changes or not we should still have more than enough to qualify tonight as long as we play with the right attitude. I would say our squad is better now even with the fitness issues and injuries we currently have than in previous seasons where we have gone understrength and come unstuck. Not always easy to gel granted, but a back 5 of Steer, Guilbert, Tuanzebe, Hause and Targett (which most people are predicting) should give us a solid base to work from.

ferguson1 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Really want Wesley to score to give him a boost. He may or may not be with us long term but the guy has been on a long road to recovery and his determination to get back deserves some reward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
