Aston Villa vs Hereford Pre-Match Thread

19.45

3-0

Ireland, Delfouneso, Bannan.

[CJ]

Should be a routine win but important not to get too complacent about this. According to Hereford's website they've got the Upper North stand with an initial allocation of 3,700 tickets so it will be a bit of a cup final for them. I'd still go:

Guzan

Lichaj Dunne(c) Clark Warnock

Ireland Gardner Makoun Bannan

N'Zogbia

Fonz

Subs: Marshall Young Collins Petrov Albrighton Gabby Bent

[luke25]

6-1 go as strong as possible apart from Given, Gabby and anybody else with knocks. Guzan, Lichaj, Collins, Clark, Warnock, Makoun, Delph, N'zogbia, Bannan, Albrighton, Bent

[cdbearsfan]

Guzan, Lichaj, Baker, Clark, Collins, N'Zogbia, Bannan, Makoun, Albrighton, Ireland, Delfouneso... is what I'd pick, with Bent and some other stars on the bench in case we find ourselves in trouble.

I worry he might pick Beye and play him at left-back, where he is even more useless than at right back, to accomodate Lichaj and rest Collins.

After an edgy first half, we'll beat them in the second.

Three-nil... Delfouneso (48), Bannan (55), Clark (87).

[Dante Lavelli]

I would like to crow-bar Ireland, Bannan and the fonz into the team whilst keeping the same formation.  This might be difficult as Ireland and Bannan are both best in that central role in my opinion.  I'll go:

---------------Guzan--------------
Licaj---Collins-----Clark---Warnock
------Makoun-----Delph------------
Albrighton---Ireland---Nzogbia---
---------------Fonz---------------

Planned subs:
1. Heskey for Fonz
2. Bannan for Ireland (Ireland to play versus Wolves)
3. Gardner/Burke for someone

Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.

[Witton Warrior]

Would like to see Ireland and the Fonz start...

[manic-road]

6-0
Ireland x2 Fonz x3 and Bannan

[TaxDodger]

I'd play..

GK: Guzan
DL: Warnock
DR: Lichaj
DC: Collins
DC: Clark
MC: Makoun
MC: Delph
AMC: Ireland
ML: Bannan
MR: Albrighton
FW: Delfouneso

Marshall, Beye, Dunne, Gardner, Johnson, Bent, Weimann.

2-0. Delfouneso 29, Weimann 89. 

[KRS]

Hope to see Ireland, Bannan, Albrighton, Makoun and a few fringe players given some much needed game time. If they can get their names on the scoresheet then would give them a great confidence boost.

A comfortable no fuss win please to build the momentum.

[PaulTheVillan]

Guzan
Beye Clark Collins Warnock
Makoun Bannan
Albrighton Ireland NZogbia
Delfouneso

4-0 win.

[Holtenderinthesky]

I'd like to see Gabby start this one to continue his confidence building.  No point in keeping Fonz in the side IMO as I seriously doubt he will never make it, how many seasons as 4th/5th choice forward before he steps up? Sell him as soon as I say. Anyway, I wouldn't go too 2nd string as Hereford will be up for this and I'd like us to do well in the CC this year.

2-1 to us.

[JJ-AV]

Guzan
Lichaj - Collins - Clark - Warnock
Makoun - Delph
Albrighton - Bannan - N'Zogbia
Bent

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

I think Given, Young and Gabby are all carrying knocks so would rest them all.

How about:
                  Guzan

Lichaj - Beye - Clark - Baker

Albrighton - Hogg - Makoun - Bannan

                  Ireland

                 Delfouneso

SUBS: Marshall, Warnock, Collins, Gardner, Herd, Weimann, Heskey

[Matt Collins]

The fonz is only just 20. 20!! Give him a chance. Albrighton and bannan had never even played before they were 21, never mind got something like 6 goals in 9 starts.

I'd play :

Guzan- lichaj, Collins, Clark, warnock - Ireland, makoun, bannan - albrighton, fonz, n'zogbia
