Aston Villa Women 2023/24

[Footy-Vill]

BBC one versus Arsenal what are people's predictions for scores and players starting ?  It's at the Emirates . Arsenal football club take the woman's team very seriously and are a historic women's football team.
The crowds and support they get are unprecedented.

For Villa I would definitely start Leon and Daly so that the other spot in those top areas of the field, is Salmon or Lehmann.
Rachel Daly is a heroine and the greatest women's player we have ever had.

Ward, I believe, will adopt a conservative approach as Arsenal despite poor start are a high quality outfit. The trouble is our first choice midfield is missing and with Hanson suspended too that's not great especially with Dahli missing still.

But I can tell you something: we have a fantastic keeper. The Dutch number one custodian is one of the greatest in the world at saving shots. In my opinion, that was an upgrade in position.


3-1 loss
Daly with a consolation

We're punting out mascot packages for £375 each. It's nice to see that the women's team is getting more like the men's.

[Brazilian Villain]

It's £750 if you get to hold Alisha's hand.

Leon should be starting and disappointed for salmon.
I think that's a very cautious lineup.
Not surprised Lehmann isn't starting but good to see Mcgill.
Anyone care to give predictions like I did ?
I can only see a defeat but Daly scoring for us.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm not too surprised about any of Lehmann, Salmon or Leon not starting. They've all disappointed, especially when expecting one of them to step it up in Hanson's absence. Magill's turn. Good to have Pacheco back.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

1-0 to the Villa. Header from a corner. UTV!

[Lastfootstamper]

Get in, Maz!

[Lastfootstamper]

Immovable object currently confounding irresistible force. This could be a long hour.

[Garyth]

Yeah, it’s a bit of a hard watch  at times - we lose the ball almost as soon as we recover it

[Lastfootstamper]

Yeah, some of our passing has been sloppy. If we can score another couple then I'd be tempted to put another body in midfield...

[Garyth]

Ahead 0-1 at the break… not particularly confident, though - we were just holding on for the last few minutes

[Lastfootstamper]

DVD's not got her knees dirty. I reckon Ward will wait and see how arsenal try to change things before she does.

[Garyth]

DVD's not got her knees dirty.

She does lend an air of confidence to proceedings.

[AV84]

Is it controversial to say I quite like that blue kit?
