Aston Villa vs West Ham pre-match thread

[Footy-Vill]

I dnt think any need for my name in title thread though!
I just requested for a thread.

We need to create a system. Around 70 to 90 hours before next match the pre match thread to be in place

Every PL side still has something to play for.

I'd say highly unlikely to get top 7 and not going down. A squad that needs a clear out and rebuild I can see them simply muddling along until May and then Potter can really get to work.

Footyvill at the start threw me when I was scanning for a thread!

Can be as low as 9th and even 10th depending on trophy winners.

3 wins in a row they are eyeing Europe, 3 defeats in a row they'll be peeking over their shoulders.

And that's before playing for their futures with a new manager.

True, just don't see it happening though unless they have a great January window including signing a decent striker . They've got plenty of dead wood that need moving on too.

I’ve taken it off, was just a little joke.

I’d like you to make the next one though, if it’s not around when you next want it. It might be just the thing we need as a good omen.

[Legion]

0-2.

Well I'm not sure on such responsibilities.
Btw did you know the West Ham forum called Knees Up Mother Brown started their pre match thread on Sunday Jan 19, 2025 9:57 am.
A full week before the game.

They didn't have a midweek game though so can see why .

Id start Duran over Watkins anyway. Ramsey to come back in. Maybe give Bogarde a go next to Kamara. We really don't have that many options to rotate a clearly fatigued team in Monaco. Tielemans, Rogers, Watkins off bench is still strong.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Kamara, Bogarde, Malen, Buendia, Ramsey, Duran.

[VillaTim]

Maatsen has shown he's not ready for this league . Keep him out .
Bailey 2.0 , please no . I'd rest Watkins and let JD have another go .

--------- Martinez -----------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
-- Kamara -- Tielemans--
Ramsey ------------ Rogers
---Malen ----- Duran -------

[PaulWinch again]

West Ham are poor and have little left to play for now , 2-0

They’ve just hired a new manager.

And we already flattened the bounce

Well he’d been in charge a day.

In any case if we play well we’ll win, if we play like we did against Monaco we likely won’t.

[Goldenballs]

2-2 with us scoring a late equaliser.

[manic-road]

3-1 I hope Malen and Duran start for this one.
