Rasiak-9- Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 He's not the only one .... have a gander at this lot!! http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=48763.15 Bed wetting moistened fannys or just realists? They make Alps look like an amateur in being negative!! Bloody hell I know Villa have a reputation for pessimism but sheesh.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Bit worried we'll concede a sloppy goal or two, but if we score first we'll win, and Villa will be way less willing and able than we are to come back from a deficit. Can see nothing but a Saints win here, hugely important we get the three points on Saturday. Clyne will still be out, so I can see Cork at RB and Davis in the centre of midfield again; Ramirez should be back and aiming to impress; awful choice in the centre of defence between Hooiveld and Seaborne really (unless you wanna put Richardson on the right and Cork/Schneiderlin in the middle!?); and we still need Lallana back, another start for Guly (been alright recently, knocking on the door). COYS really. How do you know that, has NA been telling us porkies again ? Sorry being economical with the truth over injuries is what I should have said.
Andre Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Can't edit post apparently... Screw what I said, apparently Clyne will be back in time for Saturday! Fantastic news, he's been a godsend this year. I'd personally leave Cork in defence though, over Hooiveld.

Yeah sorry, hadn't seen it when I posted! No point rushing him back really, but can't take the risk... Boruc Clyne - Cork - Yoshida - Shaw Davis - Schneiderlin - Ramirez Puncheon - Lambert - Guly I have given up hoping for a 4-4-2, so I guess that'll be the lineup... Cork will probably be in midfield though, with Hooiveld at the back and Davis on the bench. If it was me I'd play Puncheon, Schneiderlin, Ramirez and Guly across the middle, then Lambs and Rod up the top.
Colinjb Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 (edited) Can't edit post apparently... Screw what I said, apparently Clyne will be back in time for Saturday! Fantastic news, he's been a godsend this year. I'd personally leave Cork in defence though, over Hooiveld. At centre back? No, Benteke would outmuscle him. Hooiveld in, let him be strong in the air, allow Yoshida to use his pace to counteract any threat that could run at us. Clyne and Shaw to collect the ball and mop up after the centre backs with Schneiderlin and Cork dropping deep to support them and build from the back. If we keep our heads we can contain them. My team: ----------------- Boruc --------------- Clyne --- Hooiveld ---- Yoshida -- Shaw -------- Schneiderlin -- Cork ---------- Puncheon --------------------- Do Prado ---------------- Ramirez --------------- ---------------- Lambert --------------- Was tempted to put Rodriguez in the team, but that would have meant either dropping Lambert or putting him on the left.

tajjuk Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Bloody hell I know Villa have a reputation for pessimism but sheesh. I like this one - A very poor team who cannot defend nor hardly score many goals - nil A poorish team who cannot defend but can score goals - Three (and easing up) We have graduated to a 'poorish team'!
Bucks Saint Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 He's not the only one .... have a gander at this lot!! http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=48763.15 Bed wetting moistened fannys or just realists? They make Alps look like an amateur in being negative!! Wow. As I will be in hospitality with a Villa mate, I will have the Samaritans number on speed dial for them
student Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Boruc Clyne Hooiveld Yoshida Shaw Cork© Schneiderlin Puncheon Ramirez Guly Lambert Bench: Gazzaniga, Martin, Fox, Davis, De Ridder, Lee, Rodriguez I'd imagine you'll line up like that. Should have enough in you to win this one quite easily.
rshephard3 Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Thought his appearances were limited to cups now anyway as Villa wanted to avoid the next instalment payable on league fixtures to Sunderland... It seems that way. Which is mental. He's undeniably a good finisher and being relegated would cost near on £60million. Their squad misses out on 2 things he brings which is a bit of class and some experience.

Their squad misses out on 2 things he brings which is a bit of class and some experience. And however bad his miss the other night, his record over the past several seasons is quality. We should bid £5m!
Itchen_block4 Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 -------------------Boruc Clyne-----Yoshida-----Hooibeld-----Shaw --------------Cork-----Morgan -----------------Ramirez Puncheon----------------- ----------Guly -----------------Lambert Keep it simple here. Use the width, ball into Lambert. Their defence are all over the place and we'll get joy from this if we can get our fullbacks overlapping.
Thedelldays Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Rodriguez is a feature player in the build up.........does that mean he will likely start..?
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Rodriguez is a feature player in the build up.........does that mean he will likely start..? probably at centre half or right back. Who knows with the club PR machine.
ericofarabia Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Wow. As I will be in hospitality with a Villa mate, I will have the Samaritans number on speed dial for them That was very very close to a mouthful of Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc over the screen moment. Somehow managed to restrict it to a trickle through my right nostril !!
Appy Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Rodriguez is a feature player in the build up.........does that mean he will likely start..? Doesn't give any indication really, Hammond did it last year and didn't play.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 I see that Rickie now has some orange boots, hope it's not too slippery at Villa Park then. Would it just be me or is Nigel's accent becoming more and more pronounced as the weeks go by ? Hardly noticed it last season or the one before, now he's scouse down to his boots.
Thedelldays Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Doesn't give any indication really, Hammond did it last year and didn't play. what are the percentages this season....I have no idea but seems (nearly) everytime a player is used to build up a game..he starts?
Appy Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 what are the percentages this season....I have no idea but seems (nearly) everytime a player is used to build up a game..he starts? Possibly has been this season, I just remember thinking that a couple of times and that proved me wrong.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 what are the percentages this season....I have no idea but seems (nearly) everytime a player is used to build up a game..he starts? It's only usually one of 5 or 6 players anyway. Mostly starters, some don't seem to do lead interviews.
Thedelldays Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Possibly has been this season, I just remember thinking that a couple of times and that proved me wrong. if he does start...Im guessing upfront....where will that put lambert and then ramirez...? is ramirez fit..?
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 if he does start...Im guessing upfront....where will that put lambert and then ramirez...? is ramirez fit..? Looked like it, less certain about Clyne though. Nigel wasn't exactly evasive about him, said he probably be fit but they'd not be overly concerned if Cork had to start at RB again.
Saint Garrett Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Maybe J-Rod will play on the left, or we'll play 2 up top and Gaston will play left. Hope he's just behind Rickie though.
ericofarabia Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 if he does start...Im guessing upfront....where will that put lambert and then ramirez...? is ramirez fit..? Nguessen up front ..... christ ... a flashback to darker days!!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Could be -------------Boruc------------- Clyne Yoshida Hooiveld Shaw ---------Cork---Morgan------- Puncheon-------------Ramirez ------------Lambert----------- ------------Rodriguez---------
Sour Mash Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Could be -------------Boruc------------- Clyne Yoshida Hooiveld Shaw ---------Cork---Morgan------- Puncheon-------------Ramirez ------------Lambert----------- ------------Rodriguez--------- Too many attacking players. Ramriez out of his best position. Doesn't make sense. Would make for a very entertaining game though.
SuperMikey Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Got to be: ----------------------BORUC----------------------- CLYNE-------MAYA------BIG JOS-------SHAW ----------------CORK------MORGAN------------ PUNCH-----------RAMIREZ--------------GULY ---------------------LAMBERT-------------------- Subs: Davis, Richardson, Martin, JWP, S.Davis, De Ridder, Rodriguez

saints-cris Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Get Clyne in at left back - guaranteed goal
austsaint Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Would be surprised if it wasn't this. I'll back that line up. I'm hoping Jos does well; he was quite effective v Stoke.
Pilchards Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Got to be: ----------------------BORUC----------------------- CLYNE-------MAYA------BIG JOS-------SHAW ----------------CORK------MORGAN------------ PUNCH-----------RAMIREZ--------------GULY ---------------------LAMBERT-------------------- Subs: Davis, Richardson, Martin, JWP, S.Davis, De Ridder, Rodriguez I too would go with that unless Adkins thinks Jos is not up to it so he will put Cork at CB and Davis in the sitting midfield role. If we attack from the off like Stoke then we should be out of reach at half time, the only worry i have is that Adkins may revert to defending football 2nd half instead of trying to smash them out of sight. Villa are that **** at the moment and if we cant beat them then it's pathetic.
Junior Mullet Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 We need to be clinical and finish our chances. I think we will. I have no problem with Jos playing in this one. I think he will dominate Benteke and will pose them a threat from set pieces. I think one of our ploys will be to win as many corners as possible - they are awful at defending them. Cork and Morgan to boss the midfield.
Pilchards Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I think one of our ploys will be to win as many corners as possible - they are awful at defending them. And we are **** at taking them. Shame Danny Fox & Lallana can't take them.
shurlock Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 And we are **** at taking them. Shame Danny Fox & Lallana can't take them. Guly took some decent corners from the left hand side against stoke and arsenal.

Villa are that **** at the moment and if we cant beat them then it's pathetic. We didnt defend at QPR and I dont think we would at Villa. Attack is the best form of defence for us. Totally agree with your sentiments about beating them tomorrow. The only thing going for Villa will be the fact that their fans and ours expect Saints to win and that can sometimes bring the best out in players. Fortunately I dont think even their best is good enough if we are on it.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial Darren Bent, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd all ruled out of the Southampton game.

fanimal Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Here's some Aston Villa team news from BBC Sport's Pat Murphy: "Paul Lambert says Darren Bent's knee injury is not as bad as first feared after the Bradford match - but he won't be fit for tomorrow's match against Southampton. Nor will Marc Albrighton or Chris Herd (both foot injuries). "Shay Given is struggling with a hamstring strain but Brad Guzan will return. Ron Vlaar is back in training (calf) after missing the last six months with a calf injury but will miss out tomorrow. Richard Dunne expects to resume training next week after a groin operation and could be available at end of January
Mattio Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 If anyone has a spare ticket floating around please PM me
studentsaint Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Boruc and hoidveldt there could be goals in this. Also, this could be the game where it all comes together.
trousers Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I think Adkins will start with Rodriguez on the left instead of Guly. Just a hunch.
tajjuk Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I think Adkins will start with Rodriguez on the left instead of Guly. Just a hunch. His involvement in the conference might hint that.
Thedelldays Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 lallana looks like he is training normally in the pics...!
Dig Dig Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I think Adkins will start with Rodriguez on the left instead of Guly. Just a hunch. He started there against Villa at home IIRC.
saints-cris Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Anyone think Lallana could make the bench? Probably too soon I know, but he's kept his cards close to his chest on this one.
Appy Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 He plays on the left, he plays on the righttttt Seeing Adam Lallana training, makes my pants go white.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 No way Lallana will feature tomorrow, nor vs Chelsea I wouldn't have thought.
Appy Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 No way Lallana will feature tomorrow, nor vs Chelsea I wouldn't have thought. Yeah agreed, Everton would be realistic perhaps.
