Aston Villa (H) 06/05: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jonny can still have the odd good game (Saints at home he was MotM for me, Spurs at home he was good too) but you risk a couple of Leeds at home along the way.

Very sad as he was brilliant.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

For the record I don't think Dexter is anywhere near ready. He's got a lot of ability but I wouldn't be playing him in this kind of fixture.

 

[WsWolf]

I'm not disagreeing, exactly, but I can't think of what matches you're referring to tbh.

On the greater issue of RB, I think we've seen that Nunes + Semedo as the right side can work.

Soton and spurs.

Honestly, I'd put Jonny's decline after injury a close second to Ndah being done by that thug carbon as my worst moments. He was the best pure defender I'd seen for wolves and I include Lescott.

He definitely needs a championship loan next season. Could be really good for someone like Boro.

There’s been a lot that wasn’t great about this season, and the following is a function of it, but how wonderful it’s been for a run of 3pm kick offs at home. I love a Saturday morning with a 3pm match to come, everything about it, and it’s reminded me of how incomparably better it is to every other bonkers start time. OK, that’s partly as I have a longish journey, but it must go for most. I’d love a balance of being good and playing at 3pm, but you can’t have everything I guess.

 

[Lupo]

Same, it has been great enjoying all these traditional kick offs. It just feels right and the added excitement of keeping an eye on other scores at half time and full time which you don't get when you kick off on a stupid day/time

 

[Tony Towner]

Agreed, the only down side is by default you must be a bit shit

“A bit shit” is a step in the right direction from shit!

 

[Jinky]

Some chatter on social media that Bueno & Jonny aren’t in the squad, so likely means Semedo is fit and Toti will be at LB again.

Surely if true Bueno is injured.

 

[Sniffer]

Youngsters make way.

 

[sycophantia]

Don't hate that team, hopefully it's 4-4-2 or a variation of that.
Bueno must gave a knock.

 

[The Bion]

RAN back on the bench, still no sign of Raul. At this rate might be the last we've seen of him.

 

[Carsy]

I know we lost 6-0 last game, but not sure it’s fair us starting with 12.

 

[Derby Wolf]

He's here he's there he's fucking everywhere...

 

[Tony Towner]

I like that team IF Nunes is right and Neto left

 

[Lupo]

Shit, Lop's in trackies

 

[Alan]

Neto has usually played on the left since Lop came in IIRC.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I like that team IF Nunes is right and Neto left

I said that about the team last week, see how that worked out...
