I'll be a lot happier when we know exactly what's up with him - that almost sounds like a disciplinary thing; hopefully not. Probably has covid. The club have been very cautious to not name players who have covid. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Wow 16 year old Josh Feeney on the bench! Not heard too much about this kid, and it obviously reflects player absence rather than stellar trajectory, but good to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Watkins was injured at the start of the season and missed the first couple of games. Ings played and scored. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/58962343 Quote Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has declined to explicitly state the reason for Ollie Watkins' absence but confirmed Villa are suffering problems with Covid and injuries. Read into that what you will. Hopefully Covid related. There's a phrase I didn't think I'd ever write. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 They might talk about Villa and Brentford a couple of minutes before kick off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard too much about this kid, and it obviously reflects player absence rather than stellar trajectory, but good to see. Composed and intelligent from what I've seen on him in the under23's, so that jump up was a piece of cake it looks. Doubt we will see him but the experience for him is brilliant, this is what's so great about this game and not the Billions being thown at it.

Villatillidie95 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 expect us to win today even though we have a weaker bench and are missing Young and Watkins. Looking forward to seeing Traore back after a long time, he is definitely capable of bamboozling the Brentford defence (and himself tbf ) and could be a bit of a wildcard for us at some point in the game. Would also like to see trezeguet make an appearance to possibly get a back post special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Would've been nice f Watkins was also available but glad only one of them is starting. Should be a good opportunity for Ings facing up against Pontus Jansson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
