VfL Bochum v Aston Villa Monster Thread

[Legion]

2.30pm KO

Would like to see us going full strength on this game. Bochum are a reasonable side. Our midfield 3 from the tail of last season, Wiemann and Gabby either side of Helenius. They were a top flight side not too long ago so it'll be a tough game.
If we mix the sides around like the last two games I think we'll lose it.

Winning isn't as important as fitness though. But would definitely like to see something close to a first team for one half.

[Matt Collins]

Without Gabby, NZogbia and Tonev, plus you know who, our attack is going to look a bit limited today.

Perhaps Weimann, Helenius and Carruthers?

Either way, we definitely need some more options up there.Good ones too.

[dekko]

FIRST HALF: Guzan, Lowton, Clark, El Ahmadi, Luna, Westwood, Delph, Burke, Weimann, Herd, Carruthers.

SECOND HALF: Steer, Vlaar, Baker, Bacuna, Helenius, Albrighton, Webb, Sylla, Bowery, Bennett, Gardner.

Be interesting to see how Burke does today. There'll be no clean sheet though I'll bet.

Woodward needs to top up his fucking phone.

Good to see Marc is back. Now is the time, lad.

I was hopeful of a bit of match commentary, but after ten minutes of Captain Jacks' wittering, i wanted to poke pencils thru my eardrums......I turned the idiot off......

VfL Bochum 0-0 Villa - HT: Steady from Paul Lambert's men as they continue on their fight for fitness ahead of the campaign proper.
