So selection thoughts ahead of Exeter? 09:24 - Aug 12 with 4524 views

What do we think Paul is planning?

He clearly likes Cup games and tries to win them
Villa needs a big performance and a result would be huge and there is a danger of fatigue
But our leader knows players need to bed in further, get, and get the attacking fluidity and ruthlessness he was bemoaning at Rotherham - and maybe you can build this and the confidence against a lower league side

Note: Villa are away at Yeovil, on Sky, also on Tuesday.

My thoughts are:
- to leave keeper and defenders as is
- bring Downes into Skuse role
- try Roberts or sears over Ward
- keep Harrison in for a goal; swap Jackson half time for a goal

A win would be good for the club

What do you think??

I'd disagree, could be a good chance to keep bedding in the players we've got and trying to get some winning confidence in them.

Although maybe give Jackson a start over Harrison.

Play 1st choice starting 11. Due to overhaul August effectively pre-season and they need to find their "mojo" fast. Especially in front of opposition goal.

Give Jackson, Downes, Sears, Spence and Kenlock starts. Keep the rest broadly the same. That should be a team that can win.

I wouldn't play Spence. Personally, I'm struggling with his judgements on our home-grown youths, Dozzell, Nydam, Downes, Emmanuel, would like to see some of them in the mix, but don't think it will happen. I think he'll keep Harrison in, bring Jackson on from the bench again.

Would keep the back 4 for more experience playing together as a unit, but give the players who haven't had as much game time this season a chance to improve their match sharpness.

Would go:

Bart
Donacien, Chambers, Nsiala, Knudson,
Downes, Skuse, Dozzell
Roberts, Harrison, Jackson

Subs: Nolan, Kenlock, Gerken, Nydam, Morris, Sears, Emmanuel

Or something like that. Defence needs to stsy same anf get used to each other. Nolan off bench as not played much so not another 90. Skuse just to organise and then a bit more attacking. Edwards and Challobah can have a rest.

Hurst said Downes would have been in the squad but for being sick. Everyone seems to be ignoring this in favour of getting in a flap.

I think our strongest 11 could do with more game time, personally. Some have only played one game and not much competitive football together.

I would play our strongest possible side, pop a few goals away and build some confidence and partnerships.

Would like to see us try out a 4-4-2 with Harrison and Jackson on together.

Start our strongest team with Kenlock in for Knudsen. Good game to rest him as he hasn't had much of a break. Let Bart continue to build a partnership with the CBs and Donacien.

Great chance to build some confidence and give them a chance to gel with the pressure off.

I think PH should play whatever he thinks is his strongest team at the moment. For me that would include playing Dozzell for some of the game.

We keep saying they need time to gel, get used to each other, etc, and to be honest they need a win before too long for confidence sake. I cannot see any logic in rotation for rotation sake and making the team weaker. So it only seems logical to give maximum opportunity for them to have maximum game time together.

No chance youths will get a game when they are available for loan, some might not even be at the club on Tuesday!

Considering how little game time our team has had together I can't see that we will make many changes if any from the team that started against Rotherham.
