Sheffield Wednesday v Aston Villa: Pre-Match Thread

[villa `cross the mersey]

Continuing the aviation theme
We run out of AV Gas and won't be Boeing back to second place - another draw 1-1

[Matt Collins]

Don’t think he’ll go 442 and don’t think he should. We never look right

Jedinak needs a rest

Hogan should not play unless jack is

Johnstone

Elmo (Tuanzebe) Chester Terry Hutton

Bjarnason Whelan

Snodgrass (O’Hare) lansbury Grabban

Davis

Subs: bunn Tuanzebe taylor Jedinak hourihane O’Hare hogan

I haven’t heard of most of the players in this league and struggle to work out who some of you are talking about in our team a lot of the time. The latest being ‘Airport Boy’, not a clue.

Back to 1-0 away wins.

[Jockey Randall]

I'd like to see Lansbury back here too but why the hell couldn't he get on last night? Doesn't make sense looking at the half time subs that he wasn't given a go, even more so when you consider he takes set pieces as well. He must be struggling in training if the management would rather put square pegs in round holes than stick him in.

[eamonn]

He scored that belter at Leeds, looks far less twattish with his recent haircut and yet we still won't play him.

[CT Villan]

Should be a routine win but if the pitch is bobbly, God help us.

[PaulWinch again]

Recent results mean this is a bit of a must win.

[tony scott]

Our dip ,to continue with a draw 1 1 but ,we wil be unbeaten in 2 something to build on.

I don't get the square pegs in round holes comment. Where would you have played him?

There aren’t ready made replacements for Albert and Jack, but sticking Onomah wide is the squarest of pegs in the roundest of holes. A player out of form who isn’t made for that position. Utter madness.

[darren woolley]

We need to win so I'm going for 1-0 Villa win.

[The Moose]

Tuanzebe was another square peg, would like Elmo back. Sonoma should be dropped as he offers very little anywhere on the pitch, as a wide player he's hopeless.
That's Bruce's problem, he shoehorns players into a system rather than playing them in their correct positions.
Changes needed, 1-1 if not, and more ground lost on 2nd

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bjork was another square peg. Get him back to defensive midfield where he's most effective. We'll certainly need his energy and there's little point playing Jedi there when teams play it on the floor. It really limits his heading ability.

So BB back to holding. Snoddy to be fit and play right, Elmo to play left.

Lansbury to join Hourihane? Grabban up top?

That's if we want to keep 4141, but I guess Grabban for Onomah is more likely. Either way Lansbury or O'Hare has to come in for one of BB or Jedinak.

Still think 442 is most likely. At a guess I think he will go with;

Johnstone

Hutton
Terry
Chester
Elmo

Grabban
Hourihane
Jedinak
Snoddy

Davis
Hogan
