Yeovil Town v Aston Villa pre match thread

[Damo70]

Seeing as we have new players to settle in who didn't have a pre season with us I would rather keep the same side from the weekend for some continuity so they can get used to playing with each other. This game is an ideal opportunity for that.

There's no indication that Hogan's fit is there?  According to Bruce, "Scotty" is still injured.

[itmustbe_it is!]

I'd play Nyland in goal personally, just to get him settled down a bit

The bombscare will be back making it difficult whatever happens, we should still have enough but I feel an uncomfortable evening coming on.

McGinn has already been playing competitive football since July due to Hibs being in in Europe. Remember how we were always knackered by March when we used to play in the InterToto? If we can get a chance to rest him I see no harm in doing so.

There is an argument that we should keep Nyland in to build up his confidence and get the defence used to playing in front of him. However, I suspect that Bruce will have promised Morreira the chance to play in games like this.

The poll needs updating as there is no extra time in Carabao Cup .

Only 90 mins and straight to Pks!

Oh and the Carabao Cup in any  games at Premier League grounds will use VAR.

Extra time will now only be played in the final at Wembley, while the ABBA penalty format isnt happening !

(A "statistical analysis" demonstrated that almost 85% of matches played in the Carabao Cup were decided after 90 minutes, leading to clubs opting to stop the extra 30 minutes before a penalty shootout.)

The ground is in the middle of nowhere I saw Stockport play there years ago when my cousin was coaching- bar with a snooker table under the main stand. - as for the match we will win but it will b scrappy

Was it before 1990 as they moved to new stadium then??

9,565 is the capacity and  record attendance
9,527 Yeovil Town vs. Leeds United.

I think they have a full sell out stadium and new record attendance for when the Villa boys in town
