Match Thread: Reading Vs Villa, TUE 15th, 8PM

Bacuna officially gone now then. Wonder if he's got the bottle to not only play well for his new club on his debut but also do it against his former club.
 
Wonder if Bruce has been guilty of talking up the playing-away problem. Yes our record is pretty bad. But it's only another match. If the players are properly set up with a strategy to go out and play to their limits, what more is needed? Motivation should be a given, if you're a manager who can motivate that is.

Of course he will, probably score and everything. Classic Villa.

 
Id play a few of the younger lads O'Hare Davis Green and the Spurs kid They will all have a go at this attacking passing nonsense .
 
Bacuna will have the game of his life, score and then say something on twitter or something to rub it in like a typical modern footballer baby. Thought he wanted champions league football anyway?
 
Why wouldn't Villa make sure Bacuna couldn't have his debut against us. Another stupid decision, no doubt he will score a free kick and stick it up us
 
Just been on club website looking at tickets for Norwich game and was greeted by the slogan"fight like lions". What a joke. 2-0 Reading. Go on Villa "fight like lions" and prove me wrong.

I was thinking the same, or could we have confirmed Tuesday morning so the paperwork doesn't get confirmed for the game.
 
I said to my lad I didn't want to go as we got in the car yesterday, he said , well I do . I'll be there Tuesday but please mr bruce be brave , we will fight with you if you drop gabby and hutton. Don't pick a team that will nail your coffin.

This.

But again his Champs League comment was in relation to a move to a side like Ajax, not Real Madrid.

Even so, Ajax are massive with a young exciting team. Wouldn't exactly put the 2 together.
 
He did a few years back, the full interview he was lambasted for actually referenced Ajax and Feyenoord by namecheck from memory.

There's no doubt he was crap for us, but I can't lambast him for the twist that was put on that interview.

Wouldn't surprise me a jot if he plays Agbonlahor in a 4-5-1 with one of the four being Hutton

If that is the case it will prove SB knows nothing about football.

I might just get pissed in the concourse if that's the case

I did that quite a few times last season and at Brentford we pissed off to the pub at half time.
 
No I don't think it is on Sky.

I hope not as I will be in Spain and if it is on Sky I will be compelled to watch it and I feel it would ruin my stay.
