Aston Villa vs Wycombe Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Rotterdam 82]

Something like this would do. However, Agbonlahor can serve warm piss and chips with curry sauce in the Trinity.

Please tell me that you meant to type "pies".

If not, I'm never having the curry sauce again.

I just assumed it was a reference to the beer.

Good point.

Tonight is all about fucking the fuckers. And that's what I'm expecting.

[tomd2103]

I'm a bit torn on this one now.  I've been advocating since the weekend that we should rest the entire starting XI with the game on Saturday in mind.  However, Stan Petrov was on Talksport this morning saying that there shouldn't be too many changes as the team need some momentum.  On reflection I see the logic in that and just wonder for example what a few goals for Kozak tonight might do for his confidence.  I think there are definitely some that need a rest (Lescott, Veretout, Gana, Ayew) and with that in mind and presuming Sanchez is fit, would probably go with something like:

                          Bunn

Bacuna      Okore       Clark     Cissokho

                        Sanchez 
             
              Lyden               Westwood   

                         Grealish 

             Kozak                  Sinclair

Subs:  Guzan, Richards, Richardson, Vertout, Gil, Ayew, Gestede

I wouldn't rest any of them.
Too many of our lot have forgotten what its like to win football matches.
They have stopped losing, so continue to boost their confidence by getting a win tonight. 

[Toronto Villa]

I'd certainly give Lescott a break for Clark. Veretout has run himself into the ground as of late as has Gana.

I'd go:

Bunn, Bacuna, Richards, Clark, Cissokho, Lyden, Westwood, Sanchez, Grealish, Ayew, Kozak

Subs: Gestede, Guzan, Hepburn-Murphy, Lescott, Gil, Sinclair, Veretout

I thought Rotten was a left-back?

[Hookeysmith]

Lets see what this Lyden kid can do

Rest Lescott, Gana, Kozak

[tomd2103]

I thought Rotten was a left-back?

Saw him play at Walsall in pre-season and he played as a holding midfielder.

As an aside, are Sanchez, Hutton and Agbonlahor still injured?

Agree in principle, but some of them looked shattered in the closing stages on Saturday.

Hutton yes, Sanchez back in contention for tonight. Gabby, well I don't think he'll be considered again barring a major injury crisis. He's been injured but his attitude has seen him pushed down the order considerably.
