If they play 3 at the back then they'll only be playing it for half an hour at which point they'll be 2 or 3 nil down.

I cannot fathom the formation and why people persist with it. 4141 is the ideal formation to tear it apart.

oh I don't know, think it'll be close something like:
Hogan 2  Hourihan 1 something like that Chester may get in on the act though.

I completely agree. Especially with our players:

The inverted wingers and full backs can just double up on their wing backs all the time

We’ve got three in the middle, but generally much more attacking quality than the oppo

In theory hogan could get outnumbered but in practice it seems that the attacking midfielders can just take it in turns to break onto the defence and support him

I've gone for a draw. Probably 1-1. They seem to be tailing off after a good start to the season, but it is still a tough place to go and win.

Three tough away games : This one, Norwich and Fulham ,would love a win but might have to settle for a draw.

We gonna smash this.  Jack to score the winner,  cue mayhem.

That I could live with.

Villa 2-1 - Hogan and Hourihane. The number of games is starting to catch up with the Blades and their squad is not of the same depth as ours. Watched their game v Wednesday and found their play quite one dimensional and predictable.

Hogans form to continue 2 4

Game management displayed at Forest where we entirely dictated the tempo and territory second half will be key.

We made some naive mistakes at Villa Park against them. Important they're not repeated.

I'd go with,

Johnstone

Hutton
Terry
Chester
Elmo

Thor

Snodgrass
Hourihane
Grealish
Adomah

Hogan

[Clampy]

This will be a tough one. Clarke and Donaldson will be a handful but we're more than capable of coming away with something. A draw would be a reasonable result but the three points really would shake things up. I'll go 2-2. Grealish and Adomah with ours.

[Drummond]

The healthier, fresher, more motivated side to win. Last time we played a side just off an FA Cup win we burst that bubble. I'm going for a bold 3-1 to our boys. Hogan, Jack and Albert for us.

Close, but...

Clarke for them. Hogan, Jack and Terry for us.

Ciaran Clarke?

I'm in agreement that a point would be a decent result tonight, but I've got a feeling! 

So, I'm predicting (ie praying) we can keep the winning run going & bag a sneaky 2-1. UTV

I'm thinking this would be the kind of game to bring Jedinsk back in for, unlucky on BB but Jedi's presence could be crucial. Very confident we will do it, 0-2. Hogan and Hourihane
