Wycombe v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Exeter 77]

An interesting fact I found out at the Arsenal game which will be applicable to us tonight. At the Arsenal game they had a 17 year old on the bench and as he was not an adult he could attend the get together in the changing room, for tactics etc, but he had to change and shower in a separate room as considered still a child.

When Harvey Elliott played for Fulham when he was 15 I remember something about him having a chaperone.

Swinkels looks like the stand-out is the youngsters.

Agree, a bit of Pau about him.

[Aldridge Villa]

This is a hard watch and that’s putting it mildly.

If Moore gets on, have we had three players from the same family, before? There's probably a very obvious answer.

Until all 6 of Gabby’s kids get a game

Imagine how terrified Small Heath will be next time we play them...

Some of his might already have got a game without us or them knowing it.

Onana was nominated for PL player of the month wasn't?

What's the Moore link, he's the son of Stefan or Luke? Making me feel very old that!

Can still remember the hype on here when the Moore brothers were coming through in 2002-04, think Luke had a pretty good loan spell at Wycombe funnily enough.

Doug Ellis had loads of his sons play for Villa.

Son of Stefan.

He sold more sons than Genghis Khan created.

It's just a game to get through and tick off. Anyone thinking we were going to win 4 or 5 nil was a bit optimistic.

Well he did the job of defensive midfielder whilst also scoring from set pieces perfectly last month. Some people want the moon with some of our players it seems.

Thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve ever in my life seen anyone drinking carabao. I don’t think I’ve even seen it in a shop.

It's odd in that they seem to be paying the money just to gain extra exposure in the Asian market, but all the games bar the final will be on at a stupid time over there so nobody will be watching.

Except for that mad bastard Axl, obvs.

🙋‍♂️ and me.

[RamboandBruno]

Bailey and Onana have been shit and they are off.
A bit worrying.

Nah. If it was a PL game they’d be multiple levels better.

Bailey has been playing within himself this season possibly carrying a knock.

onana has twice been brought off af HT or shortly after. He doesn’t seem to fit in.

Onana doesn’t seem to fit in? I’m struggling with this to be honest.

He doesn’t seem capable of playing patient possession football.

His main attributes are being a threat at set pieces and sticking a long leg in.

We’ve looked a better team without him all season!

And indeed pre season

Onanas first goal was a header from a corner, true. His second a close range finish from a brilliant team move, his third a brilliant piledriver. He was really good, possibly our best player against West Ham, Arsenal and Leicester, he was really good against young boys in the champions league. Not so great against Everton or Wolves.

Doesnt fit in is a sweeping statement

All of the ‘senior’ players have been poor.
