Aston Villa v The Dogheads Match Thread

[Lastfootstamper]

Some surprises there in the 11. Interested to how the midfield looks with Doug back and Sanson getting a full debut.

I reckon Sanson on the same side as Traore, and McGinn with Trez. Keeps the left foot/right foot, inside/outside combinations out wide if our fullbacks have to stay at home.

We need to make the extra man in midfield count today. Dougie and Sanson are better passers. Let's hope Dougie is back to what he can be like after his games out.

[Allan C]

Very interesting selection  come on Villa

Like that side, really need Douggie to step up today.

I'd possibly have gone for Nakamba than McGinn, but apart from that it looks fine.

Villa 6/4
Wolves 21/10
Draw 21/10

Good to see Philogene Bidace on the bench

Interesting, wonder if the signing of a contract was holding him back

[Matt C]

Can’t argue with that line-up.

I hope we get a chance to give him and Kesler some game time today, I really like both of them.

That's the right team for me. Cue a 3-0 loss.

Ha-ha that's about right.

Adama will play left side and destroy Elmo. Nakamba unlucky to get the chop

[Clampy]

Pleased to see Tresequet get a run, he's had to wait for it. He'll get about the pitch and get into their box which is needed.

El Ghazi must be injured  - not even on the bench.

Expect they'll play their Traore on the left against Elmo - who will get murdered, unless he gets some support from midfield. Unfortunately that's likely to be Bernie, who isn't the most conscientious when it comes to getting back. Perhaps Sanson will fill that role.

I think Neto is even more dangerous.

[ChicagoLion]

The main threat is from the wings, not sure that team is set up to deal with that.

They’ve just said he’s got no goals or assists. I think I know where this is heading...
