[Legion]

Available Saturday afternoon.

Setting off now for VP. I think it will be a draw but can I make a plea to people on here that do not panic/slash wrists/abuse board if we lose. Last season we had 4 points from first two games and than.....it went belly up.

[Dante Lavelli]

Indeed, we saw last week that Everton are a solid team this year and it will be no tragedy if we were to loose.
say it quietly but starting with two losses might not be he end of the world if it encourages Randy to find more money for transfers. 

[Singapore Villa]

Team news?

I'm afraid that will fall on deaf ears if we get anything but a win.

No Delph is a surprise! Bannan in for Holman isn't particularly surprising, though good. Fonz in for Ireland is interesting. Clear midfield diamond thing going on with Zog at the tip of it, Herd bustling around and KEA and Bannan keeping the ball.

[Matt Collins]

But surprised by the team news to be honest. Ireland on the bench in particular. Looks like bannan left and CNZ right? Or could it be more of a 433 or diamond with CNZ more fwd / behind the strikers?

I guess we'll have to get used to constant team changes!!

[Toronto Villa]

Attacking set up. Chance for Fonz here and Bannan.

[eamonn]

What's the bench? Hope Ireland hasn't being behaving badly. Delighted for Fonz getting a chance. Gives him a chance to show the majority of people on here who don't rate him.

[Matt Collins]

Yeh , my best guess would be:

Herd, KEA, bannan - CNZ - fonz, bent

??

[Dante Lavelli]

Looks an attacking team, which should keep the ball pretty well.
BIG game for The Fonz.

..and we aall thought Delfouneso was off becuase his number 14 shirt was given to Holman. I still think theres a good player there.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on you Villa boys.

I thought Delph and Holman were poor against West Ham, so not surprised they're both on the bench.  N'Zogbia was as well but I suppose we do need some attacking intent.
