Yeah, it pains me to say it, but I don't think we can keep relying on Albert to bang in the goals. I think a draw would be a good result, but they will probably just nick it.

I’m going. Looking forward to my first visit to Elland Road. I'm hoping for a good game and villa performance in front of the cameras. I’d love a win but would be happy with a draw.

Would be happy with a draw and delighted with a win. 12 points would be a good aim for December.

The same game last season probably finished Gollini in Bruce's eyes. Awful game if I recall correctly. We are a much better balanced team this term. Can't imagine we will be outfought but share the concerns about our goal threat if Adamoah is held. I'd expect Onomoah to play a lot deeper, effectively in a 3 with Hourihane and Whelan.

I think it requires Bruce to put Hutton at LB and bring Elmo back at RB, in my view.

I agree with this. We looked good with those two at full back, and Taylor was pretty dreadful in the last two games.

1-1 and that would be a decent point for me too.  Whelan for us.

Hourihane has not been  anyone near scoring recently more likely  Onomah however we will win.

I like Onomah, and hope his showing tonight is more QPR away, than at the Sty. He needs to become a big game player for us. Good luck to him, and I like your confidence Aftab!

Last year Rouf was the difference with his running.

This time we have Onomah, Davis and Snoddy who will run them off the park.

We never hear their embarrassing "we are the Champions of Europe" song. I doubt Forest do either. Sad twats.

I have gone for a draw and I would happily take that. My memories of Elland Road are of my first two visits when we beat them there in the league and the cup in SGT's first season and Deano's debut for us when he had a goal ruled out and Hodge got a late equaliser for them. Also, I think they beat us 5-2 in the league and 4-1 in the league cup quarter finals in Dr Jo's season and 1-4 at Villa Park in BFR's first season. The quarter final thrashing was on the night the first gulf war kicked off and the loss under BFR was the day Freddie Mercury died.

Yes, I was at the 4-1 LGQF and remember listening to the Gulf news on the way home. One of those games not easily forgotten.
