Walsall 1 - 3 Aston Villa

I'd hope the starting 11 is our strongest possible side and they play for 45/60 mins.
I'd like us to start with:
O'Donnell
A Chambers Downing Butler Taylor
Chambers Mantom
Baxendale Westcarr Lalkovic
Sawyers/Hewitt

Hewitt up top for me and play Sawyers where you have Westcarr. I think DS will try to get the most out of the game without taking any risks so close to Saturday. 2-1 vile for me, Hewitt with the goal infront of just over 7k.

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 with either Westcarr/Sawyers as the lone man upfront.
Subs: Lewis, Roberts, Hemmings, Mantom, J Chambers, Lalkovic, Hewitt, Flanagan, Holden, Heath, Downing, McQuilkin

If you can't get to the game it might be worth subscribing to Aston Villa T.V. http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/TV/LiveEvent ... 38,00.html for 4.99 a month direct debit then cancelling post game.
That's what I am doing. Now watching the coverage of the M6 waiting for the game to start!!

Baxendale tries to dribble past keeper after getting the ball right in front of goal... loses ball in feet and keeper gathers with ease.

0-2 half time.
We're getting stuffed (apart from a Baxi 1 on 1 that got caught under his feet)
Not sure that this is going to be a useful exercise

Could get a lot worse if we bring Holden on for the second half.

It's useful in the fact that it goes a long way to paying that fudge police bill.
Horrible to say, really.

Villa are changing their team now rather than waiting for 60 minutes as originally planned :(

Re: Aston Villa (H) Friendly - Weds 31/07/2013 125 anniversa
Though meaningless of course, we are beginning to imagine what it's like being a turkey at Cringle!
Can't help thinking that the 'timing' of the match coupled with the stuffing we are suffering, won't go a long way in 'energy sapping' and 'negative confidence boosting' ahead of Saturdays opener.. :( mind you, the starting eleven wasn't particularly
the best available...I hope!

Glad I decided not to bother - plenty of cash for the police funds but not the best preparation for Saturday.

I'm surprised we did not start with our best XI. A morale sapping heavy defeat is not the best preparation for Saturday.
Still, it does not really matter, but I make this our 4th defeat in a row [if you include the additional friendly with Florist].

Would you want players picking up injuries tonight & miss Saturday? You'd then be saying why did we play our first xi so close to the start of the season

I'm not - wouldn't want too reveal too much to Tranmere scouts.
Also, it would be more demoralising if it was our first choice team that was getting stuffed.
