We should save our best players for bolton a week wednesday which is now a must win game. I think we should write off the villa match next Saturday, like the other teams have been successfully doing. ie West Brom, Tootenham Fulham.
Play something like
Simo
Griff Sonko Cort Dicko
Lawrence (Matches) Diao Oly Camara
Kitson Sidibe (Matches)
Liam, mama and camara can get some game time,a nd the team as probably as much chance of scraping a nil nil as our first team.
We can then rest for the big game on Wednesday
Soro
Wilko
Faye
Faye
Ryan
Beattie
Delap
Tonge

No chance!
Boro have beaten Villa away, teams like Wigan have held Villa this season. Say if it was Manure then maybe, but its not a write off and these players earn more in a week than the majority of us do in a year, I dont think one game thats down the road will cause too much damage.

Its more about making sure they don't get injured. Good luck at Villa. 90 minutes of the bus parked in front of the goal........

Hang on.. how many times have i read your posts moaning about Pulis' negative play? And now you have written a game off completely ??? Hypocrit. |

My point is, if we are parking the bus, It may as well be sonko as Ryan. Simonsen is more likely to save 20 shots in a game.Of all the games this season Villa away for me is the second hardest of the season up there with Man Utd. Lots of pace, big pitch.

Hey and Garfield, there are times and places for being negative.
Villa away is one of them.
Portsmouth at home is not.
PS Thanks for reading my posts

whoever we play you can bet your last pound that we will be camped out in our own half, We'll be shit scared of crossing the halfway line because of villa's pace on the break.
the team v villa imo will be
Sorenson
wilko shawcross abdy higgy
creswell amdy diao pugh
beattie sidibe
TP will play cressy becase of his aaard work to follow Ashley young everywhere.
we'll go for the 0-0 imo

Optimism please.
Villa lost to Everton, drew with CSKA lost to Chelsea then go to Moscow midweek.
I'd like to see the same side as today and go for it. If we lose, well, what the hell, we usually do

We should play 4-5-1 against Villa. Pack the midfield out and try and gain a foothold in the middle of the park to build upon. We should have been playing 4-5-1 away from home months ago though imo.

Yes he's been recalled, Leeds fans sorry to see him go. In terms of this thread we shouldn't write any game off, it's not like we're playing in the cups aswell and the players need a rest. If anything we need to keep a consistent team and keep fitness levels up. Villa could have an off day and if that happens we need to be at our best. |
