Wycombe Wanderers vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Dominic22]

My abiding memory of Bradford away was us trying to lynch the half time and full time on pitch announcer... I then ranted like a lunatic on the way back for 45 minutes until I ran out of steam then drove in silence the rest of the way...

For some reason most of the suggested line ups on this thread have excluded the bloke who scored our goal of the season last weekend, so I'd go 4-2-3-1:

Guzan
Richards Okore Lescott Cissokho
Veretout Sanchez
Traore Grealish Gil
Ayew

No places for Gabby, Westwood, Bacuna, Gestede, or Richardson, none of whom should ever be picked again..  Gana, Sinclair, Hutton, Clark on the bench

I'm not sure that there is a place for both Grealish and Gil at the same time, in a midfield that is light-weight to begin with.

Westwood might not be the best we've ever seen, but he'll get stuck in.

We're not playing Arsenal or Manchester City.  We're playing Wycombe.  It's the Cup.  Let's have a go at them from the start.

He used to...
and as for finger pointing, maybe he'll realise he's to blame too. 

But as an optomist, I hope he'll take a shot (aka a clearance in their half) and it'll go in....

Get stuck in what? A phone box maybe, he's thick enough, the opposition? no chance.

[tomd2103]

We just need a win and who knows what that might do with two home games coming up in the next week.  It would take something extraordinary now, but I haven't lost all hope just yet. 

[JasonStevens]

I can see it being a bore draw 0-0

Although I'll take an 8-3 win

He doesn't show any signs of getting stuck in when he's stood there pointing at opposition players running past him as if he's not there week in, week out.

He should be getting stuck into his agent to find him a new club in league 1 or 2. How he's still actually here, at a premiere (for now) league club, after 4 years is astonishing. We're in some kind of bizarro world were someone that limited can remarkably sustain a top flight career without ever looking like he belongs there.

Westwood, like all too many here, is way past his pay grade. He's one of the poster boys for our abjectness of the last 5 years.
And if there's one thing you can never say about Westwood, it's that he gets "stuck in." A gnats fart could blow him over. He's about as robust as Joe Coles hamstrings.

Not sure about you guys - but unusually for me, I'm finding it hard to get myself up for this one - every year I truly believe we're going to finally end this monkey and last night I dreamt we beat Arsenal in last year's final - couple that with staying up and I was delirious.  And then I woke up !

[QuintonVilla]

Wycombe are as short as 2/1 to win in some places, and we're not odds on. Against a League Two side. Says it all. Sunderland are 12/1 to beat Arsenal.

[Legion]

5-2 with William Hill. We are 10-11.
