fran_villa Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 will Luke Young start?..i think this would be a great game to give him his first start of the season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm predicting a 1-0 victory to us. The goal being scored around the 65th minute by Gabby, followed by a backs to the wall nervous rest of the game as The Dingles apply the pressure and fight for their lives for the equaliser that won't happen.

TrentVilla Posted October 24, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2009 Nice comments from Kightly ahead of the game; Wolves winger Michael Kightly sees Aston Villa midfielder James Milner as a good example to young players across the country. The pair have both featured for the England Under-21 side in recent seasons and Milner is now a full international. "I think he's a good model for every professional footballer, especially young footballers," he told BBC WM. "He's got a great attitude, he's a very good player and he's had a great career so far." Kightly added: "I'm sure he'll go one to do great things, he's a good lad as well. If I can copy what he's done, I'll be over the moon with that." What a great club that club is - I'm hoping we can emulate them for many years in the Premier League Michael Kightly on Villa Kightly's debut season in the Premier League got off to a stuttering start as he struggled to regain match fitness following surgery on a foot injury over the summer. He made his first start in the top flight in the 1-1 draw at Everton last weekend, and is now eager to retain his place for the derby game against Villa at Molineux. The former Grays Athletic winger sees a parallel between the two clubs, as they both look to sign ambitious home-grown players. "That's what I like about Villa, there's a lot of young English players - they may have to pay through the roof sometimes for them, but they've done that," said the 23-year old. "What a great club that club is - I'm hoping we can emulate them and do what they've done for many years in the Premier League." BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 i rate kightley think he is a good little player. nice comments from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Kightly promoting himself to be Ashley Young's replacement when we sell him? Wolves will score against us today, but i still hope we will have too much for them. I would give Delph a game, just to give us another attacking option in a 4-5-1 formation, with Reo-Coker and Petrov in behind him. 3-1 to Villa.

Hiney Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yes, yes I am so mad in fact that I've changed my mind: - - - - - Friedel - - - - - - - Beye - Dunne - Collins - Young Milner - ReoCoker - Delph - Young - - - - Gabby - Heskey - - - - :shock: I'd be reluctant to play that team against a league 1 side. Team that beat Chelsea for me, the've had a week between matches there's absolutely no need to rotate players with a schedule like that early on in the season . Must win match but i've got a horrible feeling we'll get turned over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 if luke young is ready i want him in for this match.... okay weve picked up some decent results with cuellar at right back but hes garbage goin forward.... weve got 4 full backs now and MON still plays a centre back there but i dont expect him to change it until we lose.... we really need to follow up chelsea with 3 points and kick off our 3 away games in a row with a victory CMON YOU LIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It'll be the same team that beat Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 24, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think Gabby might prove a bit much for Craddock and Zubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top teams rest players when they can and when they need to. We didn't play in midweek so we do not have to rest any players do we? Besides, when Liverpool (who have a fairly poor squad compared to the other top 3 teams) rest stars and wiggle around you have seen the results. Rest Torres and Gerrard and usually the results are crap. Rest Warnock? Why? Is he tired? Has he played too much? Certainly not. Play Heskey? Has he warranted a place in the first team lately? Of course he hasn't - he has been rubbish. Playing Beye for Cuellar is fine by me, as Cuellar is a mediocre right back and I always find him quite nervous handling the ball. My line up would be: Friedel Cuellar - Dunne - Collins - Warnock Milner - Petrov - Reo-Coker - Young Gabby and Carew As Sidwell is poor going forward and weaker at the defensive duties compared to NRC, I see no reason to play him, ever. And I am fairly confident we will win this match, they are the exact prototype of team we like to beat away from VP. Thinking that they are offensive but in the end we will counter-attack and smash three goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think Gabby might prove a bit much for Craddock and Zubar. Even better, it could well be Craddock and Berra with Zubar at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 AVFC: Friedel; Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Warnock; Milner, Petrov, Sidwell, Young, Agbonlahor, Carew. Subs: Guzan, Luke Young, Clark, Reo-Coker, Delph, Gardner, Heskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 WOLVES: Hennessey, Zubar, Craddock, Berra, Elokobi, Kightly, Henry, Castillo, Edwards, Doyle, Ebanks-Blake. SUBS: Hahnemann, Stearman, Milijaš, Halford, Jarvis, Keogh, Iwelumo. VILLA: Friedel, Sidwell, Dunne, Young, Milner, Carew, Agbonlahor, Petrov, Cuellar, Collins, Warnock. SUBS: Guzan, L. Young, Delph, Heskey, Reo-Coker, Gardner, Clark. Same 11 for us although Clark and Gardner in on the bench for Shorey and whoever else was on the bench against Chelsea. Halford on the bench for Wolves so we won't be facing a barrage of long throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'd like to see a 4-5-1 with Delph in there, Carew isn't really doing much at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think this will be a good game for Carew, expect him to score today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 24, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ordinarily I'd agree about dropping Carew out, but today I think we might be able to bully them if we can get on the front foot early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
