Whatahoot Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We shuldhave gone with Jones today. This is going to be a tough game and added strength in front of back four required. Our best bet today is to counter attack from 5 across the middle imo. A draw would be a v good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Taken in isolation a point would be a great result today, however now we are playing catch up we could do with a win. Would have gone Rhodes and Fletcher, giving Hooper a rest and put him in on the bench today, a chance for Rhodes to play alongside a target man, hopefully get a goal and boost his confidence. Joao and a Hooper coming on later would be hard to play against if needed. Only other change I would have considered is maybe dropping Wallace and bolstering the right hand side using Hunt and Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Just been into the Villa club shop (I buy a badge at every ground I visit) and to say it puts ours to shame would be understatement of the century. Every sort of product you can imagine, millions of kits, with dozens already printed with the name of every member of the squad on the back, loads of tills, plus another trailer outside with printed kits and a separate ticket office for each stand to reduce queueing. Unbelievable how bad ours is by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 15 minutes ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: Totally unbalanced going away to Villa without a holding midfield player. unforgivably naive and we'll pay for it. He had your extra holding midfielder in 3 of our 6 always. One point won. It doesn’t work. It invites pressure. Playing Wallace and Reach wide(ish) gives us an out down both sides rather than one. Much harder to defend against. Much harder to press against. Hope you are wrong this aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I am shocked that Rhodes is playing having read here yesterday by the Owlstalk ITK's that Carlos was bringing Fletcher back in and how CC's decision was appalling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we do defend properly we always have a chance with those two up front. It's difficult to defend properly with "slowmo" Loovens in the side. He may have the brain for a defensive game, but he's found out too often for lack of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 14 minutes ago, Earlsfieldowl said: Wallace more of a central midfielder, that’s why he keeps his place. CC doesn’t like pacy out and out wingers ...surely that hat has sunk in by now It certainly has mate. It boils my wee wee that we don't have a genuine winger in the squad. No finer sight in football for me than a winger skinning the fullback. Have the roger can you have a football team without the option of one of your players being able to take someone on? It's something the local journo's should be pulling CC on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Rather more cr*p bits of Villa’s matchday experience revealing themselves now - even Home fans get patted down at the turnstiles, there isn’t room to swing a cat in the away end concourse and stewards are being very arsey about the front section of the upper tier being all seater.
