Pre-Season Friendlies

[Damo70]

'On paper' we should have a squad to challenge strongly for promotion. But unfortunately 'on paper' is a very uncertain thing when it comes to what happens on a football pitch.

Away at Bristol Rovers on Wednesday, mixed side I guess. I would have thought RDM will want to start thinking about playing his strongest side against Nantes next Saturday though.

Went to the Worcester City game yesterday...thought we were the same old static Villa with Kozak as the target man...very little movement, one dimensional, Hutton our main attacking outlet...except for the two goals, pretty disappointing.
Much better with Stan on sitting in front of the back 4 (not suggesting this is a permanent fix!), Grealish offered more and RHM was a delight - for his goal he held off two Worcester defenders, used his pace and finished with confidence ...Davis finished his two chances really well and we should have had more. Toner MOTM for me - solid and totally reliable throughout. Not impressed by Kozak, Gil, Gabby.
UTV!

What I like about Kozak though is he seems to anticipate where the ball is going to land in the box. I think if he was to stay injury free, he'd knock in a few goals in this league.

Yep, big and ungainly but seems to have that sense of anticipation and knack of knowing where to be when the ball comes into the box.  Also think if he stays injury free and gets a run of games he could score a few this year.

I think we will be looking to sell if a bid comes in, simply because we have Gestede who is a similar type of player.  I am still hoping a striker will be coming in before the end of the window though.

Hi guys, my dad and I are French Villa nuts, my dad has been since 1981, and when we saw that Villa were playing against Nantes in St Nazaire, not too far from where we live, we could not miss it for the world.
So we got tickets and we were wondering if any of you are coming down for the game on Saturday, we'd love to meet with some of you and the Villa fans fans before the game to have a drink or something, let us know if anything like that happens ! Cheers UTV !

You wouldn't be coming down from the Angers area would you?
