Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

It will be 4141 with Snoddy and Elmo wide and Thor inside with Connor.

Thor playing in his natural position for the first time. Axel's pace will be handy.

I see only one defensive midfielder; Jedinak. Axel is a centre half who can play full back of midfield. Thor is an attacking central midfielder who we've shoe horned into defensive midfield, full back and wide before.

I would guess the same Ads.

Bruce seems to have done a U-turn on bringing Andre Green through this season. V disappointing and he deserves a chance from the bench in this game given the circumstances.

Green would've offered width and pace - at least as an option off the bench....

I would have thought he would have been perfect replacement for Albert.

Im at a loss as to the apparent bewilderment. Hes brought in a full back with pace to replace Elmo, who is replacing the injured Adomah. He's not included Green as he looked desperate against Peterborough. He's brought Thor into his natural position in the central midfield instead of Lansbury.

Seems fairly obvious replacements to make.

You're surprised that some people can't wait to moan about the manager?

Bruce out

[Edvard Remberg]

What's pretty funny with that line up, is that there are 3 CM on the bench as well

[SoccerHQ]

Oh god.  It's going to be a Brentford type performance I fear.

Not 4-0 anymore then?

On what evidence does Green deserve a chance? He was crap against Peterborough.

[SoccerHQ]

Green was diabolical against Peterborough, which is fairly obvious explanation for why he's not been included recently.

It was his first game in months.

I agree that some of the responses have been a tad vociferous. How we end up lining up is always a wait and see. It think this side before Brentford would have been ultra negative but there is a chance now that it’s just more resolute in the right places. We can’t be wide open vs Fulham, and there’s still sufficient talent in there to score goals and defend well. And we have options off the bench to change things. Let’s see how we set up and the attitude we go into the game with.

Is Cairney playing for them he was a doubt I bet he is.

Call me mental but I'm gonna stick my neck out and have a bit of faith in the manager who's just won 7 on the bounce...

Against Peterborough Green was coming back after a long injury, nearly scored in the first 5 mins and was subbed at half time when we were winning 1-0. I can't see Elmo playing on the left, Thor will play there I feel. Today we're not making like for like replacements, some players will be swopped around.
