i nipped down the bescot at lunch time and purchased 3 tickets they said they had allocsted a part of the stand that joins whee the villa fans are (behind the goal) Not got a great record against Walsall ovwer the years in these pre season games...sure I saw Jon fashanua play there when he joined, but it may be the mind playing tricks

--------------Weimann----Carew-------------------

Nice to see Weimann get a start with Carew!

Beye, Shorey, Davies, Reo-Coker and Sidwell an opportunity to impress?

[dave.woodhall]

And the teams are out.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

Ginger Colley on SSN news reckons Weimann will play in midfield and Bannon on the right wing. He's meant to be the man who knows about Villa isn't he?

[Shrek]

any streams?

[garyshawsknee]

So we haven't seen the last of Sidwell?

[Toronto Villa]

so 4-5-1 again. I'm a big fan of that formation. I'd like 4-2-3-1 at home.

[dave.woodhall]

Collins injured

[Lizz]

First Villa touch of the ball, according to SSN.

[dave.woodhall]

Cuellar on. Good Albrighton cross poor Sidwell header
