Brighton v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[VancouverLion]

               Martinez
Cash Konsa Torres Digne
          Kamara.  Onana
Rogers.             Tielemans
         Malen.     Watkins

I'm with you, Drummond.

McGinn?

Yes odd leaving our best player ( on current form) out.

Give him a breather for this one so he's in tiptop condition for Saturday, is my thoughts.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Kamara, Onana, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia/Tielemans, Watkins.

Nailed on I'll want likes of Maatsen and Onana hooked at half time but we have to rotate players.

Yeah right.

[Drummond]

What's your team then?

[Woody17]

These next two games could really propel us into serious Champions League contenders and even to the heights of making a challenge for the league. The pessimist in me though tells me that these types of games are exactly the ones that we fail to step up to. Prove me wrong Villa.

[ChicagoLion]

What's your team then?

As above except SJM and Maatsen for Digne Watkins.

[PaulWinch again]

We’ll need to be better than we have been the last couple of league games to get something here.

[Crown Hill]

I imagine it will be the usual keep it tight until half time and then expand second half.

[Villa Lew]

We're on the cricket channel tonight, I've heard Bumble will be doing the commentary.

[Drummond]

As above except SJM and Maatsen for Digne Watkins.

I reckon McGinn is more likely, whereas Maatsen not so much.

[olaftab]

For me let's go with
Bizot, Garcia, Lindelohf, Bogarde, Maatsen, Hemmings, Onana, Guessand, Elliott, Watkins, Sancho

This team should be more than good enough to beat Albion.

The games like wolves  and Ipswich and sheff utd in the past worry me . I actually think we go up a level against the likes of BHA and Arsenal.   Shame its 2 day quick games  ,so have to rotate but like  when we beat arsenal and 115 that season , Villa always suprise me.

Realistically one or two of McGinn/Bouba/Youri as well as Digne will probably not start. Watckins has a good record v this lot so likely to see him back too especially as Malen better off the bench than Ollie. Maybe see Bogarde and Onana.
