Dominant first half without creating anything, villa defended well, 2nd half we rode our look but pounced when we got our chance. Villa were better than I expected tbh and I think they'll be up the right end of the table based on yesterday as will we
The money getting thrown about this season is ridiculous, for what Villa have paid for Mccormack we bought Forestieri, Hooper, Adbi, Banna, Lees, Westwood and Fletcher :crazy:
Good to get the football back, can't wait for Sunday. See it as an ideal time to play Villa, they haven't really brought many in and if their squad last season is anything to go on i'd fancy us to win it. We've had a pretty impressive pre-season and playing some lovely football along the way...
Just because there are better players out there it doesn't mean they're available, I'd be amazed if we let forrestieri go to anyone in this division, whatever the price, the likes of us, Derby etc aren't skint either so aren't forced to allow players to leave just because wolves have the money...
Hard to say with city, picked up well when Johnson came in but I don't think their squad is overly strong. Then again they've chucked a crazy £9million bid in like they did last season, will they actually spend it? Probably not. I'll go with lower mid table.
i would say Sasso, Lachman, Sougou maybe even Melo were Mendes players, none of which were any good.
Lopez has gone to Valloidid or whatever they're called
We aren't allowed to use the end block on the north stand as the h&s executive says the concourses aren't big enough to accommodate the full stand, even though there's never been a problem in that particular stand. Similar issue here maybe?
Admittedly on the whole the Portuguese contingent brought in by mendes on reflection were no better than average. Many were used but none shine, we struggled until forrestieri and bannan came in to make us tick
