So the Wendies come to town on Saturday. They're the club I have developed a dislike for in the Championship. Absurd level of self aggrandizement in our first season down, a coach load vomming out a load of fat Yorkshire racists signing about Pakis on the streets of Brum at quarter to 3 in the afternoon, their chavs thinking they're Johnny Ten Men outside the away end.
I'll take a particular satisfaction in shovelling this lot.
They don't appear as woeful as last year, more bang average. Which is what this league appears full to the brim of.
I'm not sure whether Bolasie is fit to start but if he is, get him in.
Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe
Elmo
Connor
McGinn
Kodjia
Grealish
Bolasie
Tammy
I think having Grealish central would suit us more as we lose something with him out wide.
-
Interesting to see how we line up for this
Wednesday are conceding goals and look ropey at the back
But play a four in midfield against bannan might be risky while they have a huge striker upfront. So if fresh enough jedinak should play again in my view - whether at CB or DM
El ghazi to be taken out I imagine
Don't yet know if tuanzebe has recovered and if players like McGinn could do with a rest
-
They played last night so we have 24 hours extra rest going to smash them.
-
these cooonts stitched us up like a kipper last time so please Villa make amends.
-
Yes Wednesday and QPR last season both need to reprimanded.
-
Unconvincing performance, nervy last few minutes but ultimately a narrow win and another three points.

Ha ha , Shit I am good at this ! Bolasie and El kahzi should be on the wings
-
Pretty sure going on past comments from Bruce he didn't use the squad enough last season, Jedinak's two games in a week, and reverting to type, Whelan will be recalled for this game and we'll see a formation with one up top, Tuanzebe recalled at centre back.

The day it starts to click into place (if Bruce goes with the line up Ads & I think he should)
Villa 3 Sheffield Wednesday 1
-
Should be a win on form. 1-1
-
They were absolute mince last night at Forest by all accounts. We'll probably make them look half decent though. Draw.
-
They too have a big bugger up front so expect Jedi to stay in and be rested against Bristol.
If fit Bolasi for El Ghazi
Other than that as we were.im missing this as in Spain.
Gutted as think we shall win
-
I reckon this will be a draw 1-1.
-
axel at the back - boliase for el gahzi
then lets see ..
should be 3 0 with our squad .. expect 2 2

34k+ sold as of today. Decent crowd considering a lot of folk want the manager gone and our football makes eyes bleed.
-
Drab 1-1
At least they'll be beer.
-
2-0.
-
2-1
-
I honestly can't call this one. They are an improving side generally and we seem to be, er, in transition. Just as likely to win 5-1 as lose 1-2.
-
Barry Bannan has been in some form but hopefully is subdued on his homecoming.
They lost 2-1 to forest away on wed though
Now with our attacking play and the 2 up top as drive would say they re a threat to anybody.
Villa have scored in every league match this season and I think a couple here
Let's take another win 3-1
I think the Wednesday fans still a bit salty from their beating at Hillsborough and their claims of red bias
-
We need to improve to win this, not sure if were able to play well for more than 45 minutes of a game. Average 1-1 draw.

For me also.
-
No doubt we'll leak at least a comedy single goal - one of those trickle slowly into the back of the net whilst everyone looks on. I want say 2-1, I really do. But a solid 1-1 again looms. I hope I'm wrong.

Will be interesting to see if he keeps two up top or if Abraham will play up front on his own and Kodjia will go out wide. Wouldn't surprise me if Bruce goes with the former and Bjarnason or Whelan come in. After his comments in midweek about Jedinak at CB, I can see him staying there with the team looking something like:
Nyland
Elmohamady Chester Jedinak Hutton
Bjarnason / Whelan
Grealish McGinn
Adomah Abraham Kodjia
Not sure Bolasie is fit enough to start just yet and I think El Ghazi will be on the bench after Tuesday, so Albert gets a start.

Bruce said in this mornings press conference that Forestieri could be a big threat tomorrow. Forestieri is suspended!
We all know Bruce is a lazy manager but that’s so amateurish it’s embarrassing.

All shits aside that is pure negligence of duty. Guys lost his head and I swear is now every week just trolling us while he waits for his pay off
-
Unchanged line-up.
Another home win to 'shut-up the mad few' and Bruce hangs on a bit longer.
And I'll be happy because we've won again. And because the Mrs and in-laws will be happy we've beaten 'the pigs'.
-
I see them as being nicer than United, albeit their ground is more awkward to get to and they have a stupid fucking band.

Judging by his non performance at Hillsborough last season he is a threat by not playing as they may have someone decent in his place.

I think Bruce will play team that played Rotherham essentially as it's a home match maybe Adomah for El kazi

My memory may well be fading, but I had a couple of Wednesday supporting mates a long time ago, and I'm sure they referred to United as "the pigs". Unless they just both call each other that?

I saw this earlier and a friend of mine said I was being petty for being a little concerned about it. I don't know. To be honest, I think it's pretty embarrassing for a guy who big-ups himself about how many promotions he's won.
Problem is, you've got two days to actually game plan after a Tuesday nighter and you're preparing/basing your squad on a non-factor. Have some pride in your work for christs sake. Fail to prepare and prepare to fail.

They do. Quite odd.

Yes I agree Bruce will not change till it goes wrong or he is forced to do so because of reasons behind his control

I have seen some of the Man City thing and don't expect him to get the team to perform to that standard. However I do expect him to be professional and that was not. Maybe his time in Portugal while other managers were working with their non internationals messed his mind. Disgrace IMHO
-
Listened to the whole interview. I think I've sussed it....SB probably gives the press the questions he wants them to ask!!
There are never any searching questions. Not one difficult question to answer.
-
I'm worried about this one. That Forestieri is going to take us apart.

If Forestieri scores against us today and we end up losing, I expect Bruce to be sacked and a complete root and branch overall of the coaching staff to take place.
-
He's probably picking his defence based on David Hirst being upfront for Wednesday
-
Going to be interesting with Bannan and Onomah in their midfield (wouldn't surprise me if the latter scored). Another win I think which we'll make hard work of again.
-
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but for as long as I can remember the football league fixtures have been arranged in a way that does not have Villa and Albion both playing at home on the same day, but this has happened twice this week. Seems odd.

He should know about Foresteri not playing. How can he plan for the game, if He doesn’t have a clue who the replacement will be. Particularly important in understanding how the opposition will line up in an attacking sense

Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe

Kodjia

This would be my selection too. I imagine Bruce will shoehorn Jedi in somewhere though.
-
I've a nagging doubt that Wednesday will make a few changes and be fresher, while we won't and our 442 won't be as effective against quite a nimble midfield in bannan and onomah
-
Well we've had an extra day to recover and prepare, Wednesday played midweek on the day of their name and were running the hard yards up to the final whistle at Nottingham Forest where they scored a late goal and then chased an equaliser.
Brucey probably mixed-up his Forests and his Forestieris.

My first visit to VP of the season.
Feel excited and hope to see a win if not a scintillating display of total football!

Former possibly, later no chance. I’m expecting normal tense/tedium with the best bit being the pre match pint
-
2-1 Villa. Abraham and Bolasie again for us. Someone other than Forestieri for them.
-
3-0 Villa, hoping we firm up the win the other night with a scintillating performance today.
C'mon you Villa boys.
-
Tricky one to call because its hard to predict which version of either side of will turn up. But I think the win Tueday, some fresh faces and playing at home should give us the edge. 2-1 to Villa. Tammy and Chester for us.
-

According to our manager he’ll be a danger man. Fucking idiot
Anyway we’ll scrape a win and our idiot manager will keep his job.

Sitting in the Bartons with an excellent pint of kiwi fleet. First match of the season and im vaguely wondery why i gave up my season ticket because i love this time on a matchday. A good match today and i will be. Buying a half season ticket. A shit match will reaffirm ny reasons for giving it up. Come on you Villa boys!!!

No more handbrake fotball with lone holding striker that never gets service and DMC screeners . No, 2 up front , 4 positive MFs and 4 defenders playing their natural positions as best they can manage. Then we browbeat SW into submission 5-2.
