Villa’s Black Country ace Morgan Rogers has declared himself no fan of Wolves and targeted victory in Saturday’s derby.
The 22-year-old, who grew up in Halesowen and played for Albion’s academy, says being a Wolves supporter “wouldn’t be allowed” in his family.Rogers said: “There aren’t any Wolves fans in my family, it wouldn’t be allowed.“I want to beat them as much as anyone. Myself and Jacob Ramsey, being from the area, it’s a big game for us.”
“They still have the same manager and they are going to have the same ideas. It was difficult to get going against them last season. We’re going to expect a feisty game and it’s one we’re going to prepare well for.” Yet Rogers is seriously self-critical and while his early season performances have been impressive, he knows there is room for improvement. For one thing, he is yet to score a goal.“My confidence is high. I’m going onto the pitch with a real swagger. I’m loving my football.
“We knew coming in, especially over the summer, that we have made some serious additions,” said Rogers. The true depth of Villa’s squad will become clear as a busy season progresses. Tomorrow’s match is the third of seven in the space of 22 days but while fixture congestion is an increasingly hot topic - with Villa skipper John McGinn this week becoming the latest player to speak out - you won’t hear Rogers complaining.
