Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[Tuscans]

[Toronto Villa]

Let's get a win boys in front of a packed Villa Park. Today's line up. Some surprises and disappointments like no Bailey. Won't be easy at all but we can do this.

[Tuscans]

Bailey not included in the squad.

[Hookeysmith]

Bailey not even on bench  ffs

[Toronto Villa]

Them

[SoccerHQ]

Let's hope the first 11 can gel quickly as there is hardly anything on the bench to change things bar throwing on the two kids and hoping they can be surprise packages.

What happened to Traore, played last week and not involved today like Bailey?

[Ian.]

That’s a right bastard. So the rumours about Bailey were quite true.

[Monty]

No Bailey at all. We are absolutely cursed.

Ah well, given the options available that's the team I'd have chosen. Still a long way from full strength though.

Traore pulled his hamstring in a practice match on Sunday.

That’s a right bastard. So the rumours about Bailey were quite true.

What's the rumours, knock in training or something more serious?

[Edvard Remberg]

So yet another mistery injury

Someone it was doing the rounds that he had a knock. Because Smith never mentioned it in the press conference we hoped it was just a rumour.

[Tuscans]

Can't wait to see the 3 touches from Anwar this afternoon.

[Demitri_C]

This is a actual joke. Trez, watkins traore and now bailey.

[Kimaster1976]

No Bailey, no Watkins.

Worrying.
