[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[macbeth]

cannot understand why he’s dropped veltman for one of the most defensively difficult games of the season. lamptey will get destroyed by rogers

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

This is going to be a cricket score.

 

[Bodian]

If anyone has any slow flowing small rivers for tonight, please pm me. Meth appears to be down.......as are quite a few others.

Live player down load the app I generally watch on the phone or IPad
Links don’t appear until right before KO.

Mr Meth seems to be taking an official holiday!

So many changes, let's hope they workout

 

[dwayne]

Pervis to forest

 

[Napper]

Not sure he has a clue tbh

Hope to be proved wrong

 

[Mike Small]

Just watched Fabs pre-match presser and he looks totally fed up. His body language is not that of the guy 2 months ago.

And then you have to consider what he’s transmitting to the players. Not good.

 

[JBizzle]

We're always crap against Villa and Fulham, especially away from home. It's always our "let's experiment with our line up because we're going to lose anyway" match.

 

[dwayne]

Feels a little bit like one of those line ups RDZ put out second half of last season.

Looks totally flat. I’d be uninspired if that was his demeanour in the dressing room.

Pervis to forest

Has looked shaky at best

 

[Weststander]

Centre midfield. Is that Baleba/Ayari v McGinn/Kamara/Tielemans?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

When you look alone at the four changes we’ve made from the Brentford game, you really do have to question the logic - Veltman, Estupinan, O’Riley and Mitoma for Lamptey, Igor, Ayari and Adingra is an incredible, massive downgrade.

Almost like he’s decided this game is a free hit.

 

[brighton_tom]

Pervis injured is the last thing we need.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Terrible line up from a shit manager FFS

 

[GT49er]

Free hit? Might as well save the best team for the more winnable matches - though it has to be said that has been an abject failure for the last six matches!

 

[Ethelwulf]

Crazy isn’t it the bloke has lost it!!!

 

[Weststander]

Feels a little bit like one of those line ups RDZ put out second half of last season.

And first half in the PL eg at Villa Park.

 

[oldboyroy]

Does Fab know we're playing Villa away? Mitoma and Veltnam benched?

 

[Seagull27]

Not surprised there's some squad rotation, having only played 3 days ago. Especially Veltman who has only just come back into the matchday squad.

Reckon we'll be 4 at the back with Igor at LB, Ayari/Baleba in the middle, and Enciso sitting behind João Pedro. Adingra and Gruda on the wing.

 

[zefarelly]

Starting line up looks like we're treating it as a league cup game or a free hit.

We could get shredded . . .we might win.

Jeeves . . .Fetch the Port, theres a good chap.
