genuinely, a lot is riding on Cherif and Gboho being decent. If not, then we’re fucked this season.

It depends on the game plan as well. Are we going to have one?

 

[TomRad85]

Baffling that he won’t even start Tchaouna in a cup game

If we're back in this formation I assume he starts in the league, which makes me worried about which other players he's still planning on starting.

Hoof it to Cherif for 90 minutes

 

[Tommo1993]

3-0 Villa

Who clearly cant play with his back to goal.

If that was the tactic, it should have been Simms.

 

[FriendlyTractorBoy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you've put out an almost stronger starting 11 than against Brighton? Minus the GK and ST maybe

It just looks like he doesn't know his best team.

He is one player this forum has overdone on expectation. He is put into everyone's starting eleven but we haven't seen him play much. It may well be that he isn't that well rated. Who knows. Us as fans can't really comment at this stage.

In places we have players we wanted to see starting but the weak areas in this team are absolutely minging

I've seen enough from him to think he warrants starting out on the right instead of Rudoni or Sakamoto.

Be interesting how Sakamoto equips himself

Surprised Yirenkyi hasn't started every game for yous

 

[TomRad85]

Well I think that is clear which is terrifying frankly.

 

[Nick]

Hopefully better than Plymouth.

Considering the alternative is Grimes, even if he isn't fully 'ready' then most of us on here are too.

He needs to get up to speed a bit still.

 

[Great_Expectations]

You must not have watched Plymouth if you think he will do a job defensively.

That right hand side line up got hammered by League 1 Plymouth. Lati got the absolute runaround by a Plymouth right back out of position and their winger was a spurs loanee to be fair.

They are up against Ruggeri and Hemmings tonight.

Look, I’m still on my second train of the commute home and I then need to get to the ground from the station.

And I ideally want a pre match beer (looks like I’ll need it).

Forgive me for trying to find some hope!

 

[Grendel]

Hopefully better than Plymouth.

he and MVE were a big aspect of our success last season - playing with lati is an entirely different concept

 

[Nick]

Is it kicking off beforehand with the villa fans?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Happy enough with the team. It's a heavy workload on MVE and risk so to be fair understand Lati playing. He isn't that bad anyway, played right back at Wolves in the cup

 

[TomRad85]

Yes Lati couldn't overlap a sloth

 

[chiefdave]

Be careful where you park. Never seen as many traffic wardens about

 

[stupot07]

I'm excited about Gboho, think he's going to be a top player for us. But massive pressure on a 19 year old lad with just 6 career league goals to his name, in a new country, in a new league, in a struggling side.

Cost us a goal in that game didn't he?

I presume you mean acquits

Disagree. He's put a couple of crosses in and some on this forum act as if he's our best player. He's largely gone under the radar, but like a lot of our new signings, we haven't seen enough of him to make a fair judgement.

Yes we played wing backs that game and he absolutely ballsed up for Wolves' equaliser

He can shoot which is an improvement.

 

[shmmeee]

Wish we had played Yirenkyi RWB now

 

[Nick]

Fucking hell this kid on cwr is annoying as fuck.

He clearly has no interest in football.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

He can shoot which is an improvement.

Hopefully he scores a goal tonight then.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

2-1 win, Gboho and Amenda

 

[Nick]

Still wondering if it's a 5.

Unless they are warming up as a 4 already

 

[covboy9]

Playing Lati at full back is embarrassing
