Aston Villa vs Sunderland - Pre-Match Thread

[Dave]

Simple changes to freshen up without any formation difference please Mr Bruce

Grealish / O'Hare for Onomah
Jedinakl for Whelan
Elmo for Hutton

I'm not sure we need to freshen after just one game since an international break do we?

And if we did need to freshen up, bringing in the one player we have who flew round the world and played two competitive matches in that week is the way to go about it.

[Matt Collins]

More likely to freshen v Ipswich I reckon. Maybe Jedinak for this one otherwise unchanged

[eamonn]

How's our record against New Manager Bounce?

[QuintonVilla]

Sunderland bringing 700 tonight.

[pbavfckuwait]

Here's a chance for him to line up 4-5-1, but actually play it 4-4-2, get an early goal from Davis and improve the goal difference, if we want to chase the top 2 down tonight is one we cannot mess up.

Is this on the TV ?

No, available on AVTV internationally though...

Based on their previous efforts I love your optimism.

Agree, Tom, we have the bench to give one or two a breather. I'm expecting we carry on tonight, against what is close to Sunderland Reserves, from where we left off second half at QPR.

Hope so mate.  Two wins this week would put us in a good place going into December.

An early goal and we can really put these to the sword with Davis grabbing a couple. If we don't they could grind out a bore draw to impress Coleman. Then again, Bale doesn't play for Sunderland.

[olaftab]

I would like to see us go in at HT 2-0 up and then score another on 70th minute to round off a sound win and in the process not humiliate Sunderland  for the sake of my mate,

No, available on AVTV internationally though...

Based on their previous efforts I love your optimism.

*sad face*

It was ok at the weekend so fingers crossed for today

[Comrade Blitz]

I'd love to know the AVTV viewing figures after the weekend's colossal fuck-up

I'm not sure Bruce is one for rotation. Grealish is probably the one chomping at the bit for inclusion tonight.

Bring him on the close out the 3-0 win.
