Yup spot on. Think this affects ALL fans - no doubt Villa faithful will be predicting a heavy loss….
Somehow football and positivity isn’t a good fit….

Still a very strong team. Strength in depth.

Big chance for Colwill and think he’ll take it. Interesting to see if he stays on when Veltman comes on as a sub, or gets pulled.

Hmmmm. Not good news. Watching on tv in conjunction with a video call to my Villa-supporting son.
Desperate for Albion to trounce them but Mitoma in his current form is a massive loss.

Maybe, or some stomach bug - seems to be a bit of that going in various teams.

interesting that Colwill has got the nod over Veltman.
Is there a bug going round? There were no new injuries at the time of the Villa press conference but now Webster, Mitoma and Sarmiento are not included in the squad.

Interesting that you believe RdZ would necessarily tell the truth in the presser. I'm not sure I would if I thought it might help the oppo.

Looks like a very strong line up to me - clearly Colwill impressed RDZ against Arsenal (as I was impressed) and good to see both Welbz and Tross in the starting XI at the same time - it looks like a very solid attacking midfield too. Reflects RDZ desire to bed in youngsters without compromising his game style. At least 6 starting each with a very good chance of scoring.
edit - The bench looks well thought out too imo - Veltman, Lamptey and -
excitingly Turns, Enciso, Gilmour, Undav, Fergie- all these young players need as much match time as possible to strengthen the squad long term and each will give it their all if given a chance to sub - very healthy competition to get in the starting XI now which translates to the field against opponents.

You think he lied? He could have said there were one or two niggles which would be game day decisions if he had doubts.
Why would he tell the truth every week and then lie for Villa? Are they that good?
Watkins missing. Sick

Colwill was very good in midweek, and seemed to dovetail well with Dunk, allowing a left,right combo.
Also, maybe Velts still not 100% after his injury.
