Pre-Match Fry-Up: Villa v Brentford Sunday 23/10/22 2PM

[Baldy]

                                    Martinez

Cash             Chambers                 Mings             Young

                           Luiz              Nakamba

Bailey                          Buendia                    Ramsey

                                   Archer

Sansom to come on at some stage. Let McGinn, Watkins, Ings, Coutinho, Konsa look at themselves in a mirror for a few days.

Like the team but Bailey can't play after his effort at Fulham. Anyone instead of him, Sanson maybe.

Just felt we needed width. Also, Bailey has looked flustrated and confused so far this season. I believe he has more to offer and a new start under a new manager could just be what the doctor ordered.   

[Legion]

Archer starting? Can I have some of what you are on please?

[Goldenballs]

Not particularly looking forward to this. I reckon the team will be made up of the usual underperforming suspects, in the same shitty system.

Brentford will be too well drilled and actually know their shape and system. Toney will score. Everyone shrugs and we go again.

I prefer the fixture before the pre-match bit. Also, we know it is a thread.

*Gives the friendly wanker's*

Noted, it is my first time.
I'm championing French inclusion in the team, surely that bumps me back up to a B grade in your marking.

[Paul.S]

I’d change the system to a 4-2-3-1 and would still include McGinn and Watkins. The club needs Watkins to start scoring but if it’s not working my first change up front would be Archer. We need to start giving him some proper game time. I’d have Nakamba and Luiz sitting in the 2 and McGinn in the middle with Bailey and Ramsey either side of him. Can’t see it though and I presume we’ll end up with the 4-3-3 due to the lack of preparation time.

[Bad English]

Pre-match fry-up. I like it.

[baddowvillans]

Who's the referee.  With Mee and Jansen in their back 4 and a policy of referees being more forgiving we might well need all 5 subs tomorrow!  Can't believe they won't try and kick Coutinho like other teams have done and been allowed to get away with

Sadly my feelings too - hope we are both completely wrong!

[ChicagoLion]

Expect lots players deciding they are injured when they are not and general shithousery, and some think Frank should be our manager.
Modern version of Wimbledon.

Ulster ones are the best.

[Legion]

If we win we could have a Post-Match piss-up.

[PeterWithesShin]

We haven't beaten them since 1947, they've never beaten us at VP.

1-1

[Goldenballs]

1-1

I'd take that tbh.

[Chris Smith]

The no manager bounce, 2-0 to Villa.
