De Laet seems the obvious choice but he has seemingly become the invisible man
Hutton - OMG no
Mitch Clark - Would pick him over Hutton
Richards - who?
-
Clark. If only because he's already played there once this season

Hutton played there against Middlesbrough in the League Cup as well. The Hutton and Bjarnason combination down our left hand side was predictably not the most productive.
Still think Taylor will get off, as Le Fondre's reaction will surely be highlighted. Saying that, I thought Lansbury's would definitely stick, so who knows.
-
I thought Taylor was one of our poorer performing players against Bolton. I couldn't believe they brought off the forward player that gave him such a tough game.
-
Bjarnason will play there I assume. Taylor’s a plonker for making that challenge I have not seen any other angles for the lunge, but it didn’t look like one that would be overturned.
-
Yes I bet Bruce will play Bjarnason!
-
I vote for Mitch. That would be a progressive move and hopefully the boy will come thru.
-
I thought Taylor was one of our better performers on Saturday. The card definitely won't be rescinded, I thought the decision was overly harsh live at the game but they are told to clamp down on any perceived lunge or when they are judged to not be in control so they certainly won't change it to a booking after the event.
In terms of the next three games, he'll play Hutton as part of a flat back four I would have thought. De Laet has been out of favour since the Reading game and the couple of times he's played Bjarnason at left wing back and changed to a back three have been disastrous.
-
Oscar Borg. He reminds me of John Gidman but a left-back instead of a right back. He had a blinder last monday
-
James Bree can play left-back, too.
-
I would like to see Clark get a go. Maybe he can be another young revelation likes Davis has been? We've seen time and again that Bjarnason can't play there, that would be a stupid choice.
We will pick Bjarnason.
-
Where is De Laet?
-
It'll be Bjork
-
is RDL injured again?
-
I despair if that limited icelandic 'utility player' gets anywhere near it.

Reminds me of Brett Holman.
-
A poor man's Brett Holman.
-
What about the young lad we signed from West Ham?
-
A poor man's Brett Holman.
Brett Holman was a poor man's Brett Holman.
-
Have we appealed yet, if not when do we have to lodge one?
-
Please not Bjarnsson. Anyone but.
-
What about the young lad we signed from West Ham?
Liam Ridgewell? That was the dawn of the century and Millennium, a long time ago now.
-

He'd better fucking not
De Laet has played left back in one, maybe two, promotion teams
If he's fit it has to be him. I just don't know that Bruce thinks he's ready
I reckon it might be Hutton
Hopefully Taylor will get off

Ha abit more recently??

Were you going to sneeze?

Unsworth? I think there's a player there.
-
I didn't think Lansbury's red would be recinded, so a good chance this will get overturned. No way was that a red card challenge.
-
What about Suliman? Is Clark preferred to him for the u-23s?
-
I'm hopeful we can get the Taylor red card overturned but if not I would go with De Laet - whether Bruce agrees with me is a different matter!

Think you may be referring to Oscar Borg. He is featuring in the U23 side this season, after being out for most of last with a serious injury.
-
No way is Bruce throwing a youth team player into the team away to Wolves.
I would go for De Laet but I don't understand why he plays Carling Cup and then disappears from the 18 for the league fixture.
-
De Laet or Bree for me. Only real options.
It'll be Bjarnson though, God knows what he has on Bruce.
-
I doubt it will be Bjarnason
-
Borg actually seems pretty good. At least in the one U23 game I watched (Brighton).
-

'The Borg'....
Five facts about Aston Villa's latest arrival Oscar Borg, signed from West Ham ( Mar 2016 ) on a 2 1/2 yr contract.
1/... Borg, 17, started out with the AFC Wimbledon Under-13 side, but his performances caught the eye of West Ham, who snapped him up and took him to Upton Park.
2. Primarily a left winger but also capable of playing at left back too, Borg's pace earned a huge comparison to Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale during his days with West Ham.
3. Having impressed in the youth setup with West Ham, Borg caught the eye of Premier League rivals Manchester United, and went on trial with the Red Devils back in the summer of 2014, as reported by the Daily Mail, but didn't secure a permanent move to Old Trafford.
4. Borg is eligible to represent both England and Turkey, as whilst he was born in Surrey, his grandmother was born in Istanbul, meaning there could be a tug-of-war for his services if he impresses at Villa.
5. Having stalled at West Ham, Borg has now penned a two-and-a-half year with Villa - and as reported by the Daily Mail last year, Villa have been chasing Borg for some time, and have now finally landed their man today.
Personally I like to see him given a chance, he's been outstanding with the under 21s this season...after a long injury lay-off....Godzvilla!
-
Is 'So' a Korean signing I've missed?
-
Mitch Clarks not a left back is he??
If he's the kid who played there against Wigan then he was really good but I recall some saying thats nowhere near his normal position....
-
Are we appealing the red card? If so when will we hear?
-
We have
Three game ban
-
It's going to be Thor isn't it? Hope he proves us all wrong, but not convinced he is much good.
Could be worse, could be Richards.
I hope he gives one of the youngsters a chance, or failing that De Laet.
Not Bree, not convinced by him at right back yet nevermind left back.
-
I would give Borg a chance.
-
I'm prepared to lay odds it will be Benni.
-
I think he'll play Bree there.
-
We have
Three game ban
I didn’t realise the appeal was turned down.

If he's the kid who played there against Wigan then he was really good but I recall some saying thats nowhere near his normal position....
He's a centre back but clearly not big enough for that position in the Championship...left back is probably a compromise but he's a bloody good player, intelligent and good going forward.
My only reservation would be his lack of experience but I'd be very tempted to give him a go...Gareth Barry Mark II!

I thought he was naturally right sided?
-
He is a very right footed centre back who has often played right back for the reserves. But He played very well on his debut at left back. I think He is just a good footballer really.
I have watched him for the last two years and He is great every time I see him.
I doubt He will be picked against Wolves but if He is I doubt He would let us down.
Problem with Mitch is He is a dirty little git and picks up a lot of Red and Yellow cards so if He is having a tough time playing in a strange position He would not be averse to clattering his opponent.
-
Wolves are very talented in their front three
I think de Laet and if not considered ready, it's Hutton unfortunately
