Lighthouse Posted 30 October, 2021 Share Posted 30 October, 2021 (edited) Friday night, at home to a team from the midlands, on a potentially wet autumn evening. What’s the worst that can happen? Edited 5 November, 2021 by Lighthouse 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 30 October, 2021 Share Posted 30 October, 2021 https://youtu.be/cKYXbtZzE4U As far as refereeing performances went this was one of the worst last season, be good to smash em 3 or 4-0. No need for Ings to get booed either when he comes out or for every time he touches the ball, would like to think we have all moved on. Otherwise in terms of team selection, I think same as today except perhaps Broja over A. Armstrong. Perraud/KWP dilemma I'll leave to Ralph, I don't mind either atm. Also haven't seen best of Stuart Armstrong just yet, I think keep Moi for now and hopefully Stu comes back stronger from the international break.

Baird of the land Posted 30 October, 2021 Share Posted 30 October, 2021 As Keegan would say 'i will love it if we beat them. Exactly the sort of team i want us to finish above and there's the added edge of that Cash handball last season and Danny's flight there this.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 30 October, 2021 Share Posted 30 October, 2021 Anything less than a 4-0 win and Danny Ings looking on in disbelief as Nathan Redmond celebrates his hat-trick will not be tolerated. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an excellent win today but once again we lacked someone of Broja's class up front and hence only managed one shot on target which was the superb goal from Che. Would be great to win this one and go into the international break with 14 points from 11 games. Edited 30 October, 2021 by Teddeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno - Armstrong was only a whisker away from hitting the back of the net with Foster a very relived spectator. Get his sights calibrated for this one and rattle a few in and there would be a certain smugness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 30 October, 2021 Share Posted 30 October, 2021 I must be reading the table wrong, as we’re above Aston Villa and Ings went to play in the Champions League. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scallysaint Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 I’m fully expect and hope that Ings get a torrid time on his return. If we are winning I’d even put Lyanco on for last 5 minutes to kick lumps out of him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 Really hard game to predict, Villa have had some really mixed results so far this season, only bet I'd feel confident of placing is Ings to score anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough one, don't really like the bloke but his goals for us, especially at Fratton, makes it hard to give him a tough time. I'd rather he gets a knock v West Ham today and doesn't play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team was wank without Grealish last season and the season before they were almost relegated. Now they sell their best player by a mile, have a positive net spend, and expect him to push on? Seems unrealistic to me. I think Grealish made a lot of players look better than they are in attack and Martinez having a freak season statswise made them look better defensively. They are no better than us imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the game - really hope we hit them again with a good fast start, seems to be the pattern the last few games. One game we will finish a lot of our chances and give someone a smashing.

There used to be a 10.30 and 11pm train not sure if this is a temp timetable change due to works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 Villa could have a whinge if they lose this, seeing as they'll have had a day less to prepare, so it would definitely be sweet to keep the unbeaten run going. Learn how to convert chances and we will smash a team this season at some point, so let's hope Armstrong can find his shooting boots in this one.
