Villa Reserves 7 Wolves Reserves 1
« on: January 17, 2012, 09:23:07 PM »
Hopefully the first team will do just as well on Saturday!

Link.

Hat-trick for Weimann, two for Bannan, one each for Fonz and Gary Gardner.

Stevens played the whole game while returning Eric Lee-ha! played the first half.

Well done lads.

Brilliant result.
Hopefully Enda and Eric played themselves into contention for the first team because the two clowns currently holding down the full back spots and complete liabilities.

This. Wonderful to see the fringe players 'fill their boots' We have to put the first teamers under pressure.

The more  game time and fitness Stevens gets, the better.  Good to see Lichai back as well.

Good win I hope the same as everyone else Enda and Eric can replace the two buffoons we have at full back.

I'd love to see Weimann have a crack too.
I certainly think Warnock should be rested, his confidence is rock bottom at the moment, Lichaj might need a couple more games.
Come the end of the season we couldbe looking at a new back 4!

I was surprised to see Bannan play, he hasn't been involved in the reserves for a while has he?

He's had the odd game to keep his eye in.

Most of last nights team have not been typically seen in the starting XI reserves this season.

A guy at work is a part time ref and was at Bodymoor for this yesterday. He isnt a Villa fan so in no way just biggin it up but he said we were magic.. Gardner Bannan Lichai Stevens  Johnson Weimann and The fonz all superb Baker looked composed at the back. It says it all for me that the youngsters batter a local side and it gets 7 or 8 posts. Barry Bannan 'tweets' something harmless and people cant wait to get to the keyboard. Steven Ireland plays well for about 180 minutes to justify his 3million a year salary and weve suddenly got our saviour. The Academy is our only shining light and its about time some on here gave it more time and credit..

I don't want to do them down here, but does anyone have any idea of the strength of the side Wolves put out?

It seems to me that they play so well collectively, after having been together for so long, that the reason some haven't shown similar form for the senior side is that they have trouble adjusting, as they're so used to knowing eachothers games so well?

Just a thought.

Or maybe because they've been schooled in a way of playing the game that a number of the first team players (and maybe even the first team manager) are unwilling or unable to do?

Very possibly.

But what I mean is that Ireland is a better player than Bannan, yet Bannan may anticipate the runs of Delfouneso and Weimann better than he would.

Can't be a unique thing to us, so I'm geussing if they're good enough it'll come.

It will. Lichaj to start ahead of Hutton and Gardner to be given an opportunity at some point. Stevens/Clark/Herd (anyone!) ahead of Warnock. Weimann for a cameo performance up-front. Bannan and/or Ireland.

Does that lot make sense?
