He looks a beaten man, but once I heard him utter 'we go again' in his post-match interview on Sky, I thought his misery will end soon. I fear ours won't, though.

Oh God, forgot about Darren's return.

A truthful, bleak summation.

If you think the prospect of the return of Bent is a potential nightmare, just think we might have Agbonlahor starting against Derby (ahead of RHM) with his fellow Aston Villa faithful servant Micah Richards (ahead of Baker).  The prospect of a centre back pairing of Elphick and Richards is the football equivalent of Jack Nicholson smashing the door down with an axe.

Is "canoupll" something like finagle?

Seriously though, I can't imagine how you face writing about this lot match after groundhog match.

I doubt we'll see Gabby. I reckon Kodjia will be ok and it might be Adomah played through the middle with him.

Just be grateful that the former Villa legend Simon Dawkins no longer plays for Derby

A depressing read, again. Whether this latest surrender precipitates the sacking of Steve Bruce remains to be seen but what is beyond doubt is that he's failed to get his group of players working as a team, unlike most of the managers we've played against recently. I have little confidence in Bruce now, but we wouldn't get a top-class replacement at this stage in the season.

Adomah up front? Plot will be well and truely lost if that is the case.

What would you suggest if it's just Kodjia that's available?

Either doing what other teams do and back their youth players or go one up front rather than waste a place playing someone completely out of position and playing with 10 men.

Well, he's a winger and he's got pace. It wouldn't be ideal but it was just a suggestion. As for youth, we have RHM who I don't think is fit then you're looking at Davis or Sellars. He may well go one up front anyway.
