Chris L Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 If he signs early in the week you’d imagine Wissa will be on the bench and get a run out at some point in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what we'll get based on results Because we haven’t once put out anywhere close to a full strength team? 🤷♂️ I’m going for a 1-1 draw.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 If we’ve got a centre forward, I’m going for a 2-1 NUFC win. If we’re without one, I reckon a 1-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Amazing the difference in feel in this compared to April. Villa have been PSR neutered and the January risk backfired. We don't need any further comment If we get some signings in before though then I think momentum might start to shift towards us going into it. 2 good sides, almost always an entertaining one. Might be nice to have Thiaw to help handle Watkins who usually does a great job in giving out defence a torrid time. No chance with th Howe bedding in period, but still.

Rod Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Score draw. However, we totally destroy Liverpool the following week. We will be massively up for that game obviously. Both players and fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making them for this season ahead made me feel queasy due to the sheer amount that Isak is scoring in. Your efforts are much appreciated......it must have taken some effort to get going again for this season though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 (edited) Wonder if we’ll try something different like a back 5. Defend deeper and kill the space for Watkins and Rogers and nullify their pace and counter their usual high line. Martinez missing in goal for them is a positive also. Big week of coaching ahead especially if we land a RCB and versatile forward which looks like what we are aiming for in coming days. Only question I have is do I invite my Villa mate round to watch it? Edited August 10, 2025 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're gonna see a lot more of that this season, particularly in the Champions League. Hope so anyway, when it's worked it's really worked imo. Everton on the last day was the outlier. Chelsea pre-red card I thought it was particularly good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 reading all the negative comments makes it seem like we're back in the Ashley era ffs would never know we're cup holders and in the CL I know the transfer window and Isak have been disappointing but I think some people just love to whinge tough game tbf, would be v happy with a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 A point would be a good start, actually 2 from the first 2 would be, to some degree. Any more than that is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 Only thing that gets us a point is if villa are also a bit down in the dumps and not ready for the new season. If not, it's going to be like the last time we played them at villa park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
