I didn't like the formation with which GH played against the B-loose.
Dunne & Collins played a decent match but they showed the usual incapability to start the play. Clark is the only CD that we have that has a good distribution. What did he do in the midfield? Why we play such a defensive-minded formation at home in a derby? We are Aston Villa, not Burnley.
IMO the proper formation today should be this 4-2-3-1:
Friedel
Young - Dunne/Collins / Clark - Warnock
NRC - Sidwell
Downinh - Ireland - Young
Heskey
