Gardner and Jedinak is the obvious risk. I thought Westwood was better than Gardner last week though Gardner is more physical
But good to see kodjia upfront and grealish and ayew in
Would be great to get a nice solid 3-0 here
But I've got a feeling it will be pretty tight
-
Happy with that line up.
-
Win please Villa.
-
We will batter them.
-
Looks more of a 4411 really doesnt it, Grealish playing in a free role behind Kodjia, Ayew on left
Much more attacking line up, to be expected for home games v Wigan
No idea how Gardner retained his place based on his display v Leeds
Surprised Bacuna hasnt had a look in since returning from injury
Gabby must be "injured" again
-
Anyone know of any available stream ? I've exhausted my list of usual suspects and a paltry 2 minute of highlights on CH5 just won't cut the mustard. PM please :)
-
2-0 Chester Jedinak
-
Offense is the best defense. We should be getting 3+ goals today. I think Gardner will play better without Westwood stepping on his toes. This game is all going to depend on the defense staying disciplined.
-
Will the game be broadcast via any means?

Thanks, just like the good old days.
-
Cheers, devilla.
-
Quiet in here innit?
-
Amavi with a close volley. Sounds like it's all Villa.
-
Thats not a bad lineup! :) No hedging, pointing and sideways safepassing! all out offensive. Big win today !
I would go with Bacuna instead of Gardner. But its still better with Gardner over Westwood. Gardners ratings are also better in any game where he isnt paired with Westie. Think he will have a good game today.
-
Kodjia chip saved.
-
Top tune Russon, fkn top tune.
-
Newcastle winning
-
I might have a nap.
-
I'm in the Upper Holte for the first time in yonks. Reckon the last time was the UEFA Cup 1-1 against the Scandinavian part timers in the 90s.
-
blimey this is turgid!
-
Sounds like we're attacking the Holte End in the first half. That's odd.
-
Newcastle 2-0 up now against Blues
-
We're not very good are we?
-
Top tune Russon, fkn top tune.
Huh?
-
It's a bit shit so far.
-
Anything happening? Anything at all?
-

I think it's odd this doesn't happen more. I'd have thought every opposition winning the toss would want to avoid us kicking twoards the holte in the second half?
-
Anything happening? Anything at all?
Wigan keep attacking.
-
Top tune Russon, fkn top tune.
Huh?
Cant do links sorry Percy but he posted earlier on the pre match that hes doing a radio slot on mearns fm with a h&v match commentary.
-
blimey this is turgid!
I've switched over to Radio Russon. You can't beat a bit of old skool hip hop.
-
Top tune Russon, fkn top tune.
Huh?
Russon posted this in the pre match thread:
In a radical departure from sane thinking, I'm devoting the bulk of my afternoon community radio show here in Aberdeenshire to coverage of Villa's game v Wigan. I fully expect to be hauled off air never to be invited back but I'm happy to become collateral damage in AVFC's great fightback to fame.
I won't have a stream or bbc updates, I'm basing the coverage purely on the H&V match thread. It'll be on here if you feel your ears deserve punishment.....http://www.mearnsfm.org.uk/listen-live
-
Okay, got it, thanks.
-
This is unbelievably tedious. It just sounds like a list of footballer's names being read out.
-
Love you reason!
-
Okay, got it, thanks.
And hes already played The Specials, unlucky Percy.
-
Our off the ball movement is still shit.
-
Russon sucks cocks in hell - repeat that Russon!!
-
Russon!
-
Changed my mind - a bit of Inspirals, I quite like you now Russon.
-
Cheers russon, this is what the championship is about
-
Russon is the new Alan Partridge.
-
Hutton just did a Cruyff turn, then nut kegged the centre back - shame hit the bar
-
I hate getting nut kegged.
-
yes you can
-
I hate getting nut kegged.
Fucking fucker
-
This soundtrack is great mind, old school Wedding Present! Marvellous.
-
Sounds tedious
Need to win these games
-
I hate getting nut kegged.
Fucking fucker
I wish we'd fuck these fucking fuckers, that's for sure.
-
Right let's orange dot these pie mad fucking fucktards.
-
Couple of decent half chances
-
Afternoon! She-who-must-be-obeyed has decreed Christmas shopping so I am in Perpignan. Bouh !
Good to see that Ghastly Westwood has been dropped, Tish is on the bench and Wankbonlahor is in the dressing room filling the bath with ice-cubes and making the tea.
UTV!
-
Half time.
-
This soundtrack is great mind, old school Wedding Present! Marvellous.
It's not often I hear TWP on the wireless. Class.
Russon - are you playing requests? Fight Like Apes played their last gig ever in Whelan's in Dublin last night.... Stick a bit of FLAPES on, lad!
-
We are incapable of fucking any fuckers.
-
I don't know - we've been doing it to ourselves for long enough.
-
Prediction: today's the day that McCormack starts to show what he can offer
-
We need Russon to play Hurricane Smith - Theme From An Unmade Silent Movie.
Prayer mats out. Hail Potatohead, King of the Villa.
-
Prediction: today's the day that McCormack starts to show what he can offer
Prediction - I bet he doesn't.
-
Oh now!
Teenage Fanclub!
Forget anything I've ever said about you Russon.
-
The platters that matter. Top notch stuff Russon
-
Should you not be broadcasting in a big, dramatic Panto voice, Russon?
-

Rather than as Widow Twankey like now you mean?
-
Russon, can you do a bit of Yesterday Never Comes ? Nim, nim, nim.
-
I came to VP for an easy afternoon expecting to be 2-0 up but realised half way thru that this a Steve Bruce team....😕
-
Levellers next time please Russon
-
Russon - a request please- Either Way by The Twang. Great song from a Brummie band.
Might liven up the second half.
-
Just when things couldn't get more depressing, I've lost my live commentary and Russon plays bloody Morrissey. Hang the DJ.
-

Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Is it time for Bruce Out banners?

Never realised the Incredible Hulk had a middle name....
-
Or Bruce Banner out?
-
This is the most off topic match three I have ever seen, guessing the game is shit?
-
This would be a really poor result.
-
Fact - Bruce Banner was changed to David because Bruce sounded too gay.
-
If Wigan were any cop we'd be losing.
-
Or Bruce Banner out?
Is Betty Ross playing??
-
Or Bruce Banner out?
I'm green with envy that I didn't think of that
-
I'm listening to the Villa in one ear and Richard Hawley on Russon's show in the other. Bitter sweet, melancholic and tinged with sadness. Richard Hawley can be a bit doleful at times as well.
-
Ross on for GG
-
Ross on for GG
Really? The RDM school of midfield
-
G. Garner, whoever he is, has been substituted according to the big screen.
-
McCormack for Gardner.
Not sure about that one but something better change - aother request Russon?
-
Ross on for GG
We probably have our 'best' team out now apart from Baker.
-
It sounds like Bruce is going all out Bradford. We need to start scoring more, bottom of the table Rotherham have scored only one less than us.
-
More chances for Wigan that they're too shit to take.
-
We haven't abandoned our policy of 'the attack is functioning, so just throw on attackers' philosophy then?
Our attacking options are the best in the division on paper yet we rarely score a goal. I don't know who can solve it, personnel changes and managerial appointments don't seem to make a jot of difference.
-
Bloody hell, Wigan go close. Wake up Villa!
-
Wick Academy 1-0 Clachnacuddin
Well bugger all is happening on here.
-
As good as Bruce's run has been we haven't looked comfortable in a single game.
-
Stourbridge are winning.
-
Midfield sounds very weak, looks like we're man marking their defenders
-
Stop ya messing around
-
I can't really picture how we're playing? McCormack centre mid?
-
Max Power is a pretty awesome name.
-
Better think of the Villa, time you scored us a goal.
-
Freekick on the edge of the box for us
-
We have no cohesion whatsoever. This has a late defeat written all over it, and going to a 1 man midfield was a terrible decision.
Bacuna should be starting in midfield until we buy somebody with legs who can get up and down well enough to support both defence and attack. At least he has some pace and energy.
Russon is the saviour of the afternoon.
-
Let's have a McCormack special here.
-
Straight into the wall
-
So very Aston Villa of us this afternoon
-
Dull as ditchwater.
-
We look like what we currently are. A mid table second division side. You'd never guess so far that we've got about 50m worth of attacking talent on the pitch
-
Having said that we are getting on top. Adomah off for Rudy.
-
Gestede coming on for Adomah. We'll be fine then......
According to Bet365 we've had 12 shots on target.
-
I like this record, it manages to rhyme "houses" with "trousers".
-

50 mill is yesterdays price unfotunately. They depreciate faster than new cars unless they get success.
-
Instead of piling on forwards, surely Bacuna for Hutton and Tshibola for Gardner would lead to a better shape?
-
What a load of old donkey shite. It's just so predictably tedious. I'm desperately thinking of ways to stave off the boredom. Would anyone like to have a fight?

Agree totally.

Does sound great this.

Outside.
-
Sorry russon, turning you off. Need to concentrate for our winner
-
The Housemartins now, the chap's knocking them out the park here.
I'm giving up on the football. Bruce had the right idea, solidify the team, get some wins under our belt and then watch the confidence come back. Unfortunately, we never looked convincing while winning the games we did (all the wins were by the odd goal) and there's no signing of us 'clicking' now that the run has ended. We're going nowhere this season.
-
Wick Academy now 2-0 up against Clachnacuddin.
-
Bestest radio station ever.
-
29392 here. And no one enjoying themselves.
-
Fame at last. Cheers, Russon.
-
You'll be World famous in Inverbervie now Jimbo.

No biting or pinching.

I take full credit!
I'm getting a Jack haircut TONIGHT. Love that kid. Love him!
-
Russon's Teuchter FM radio show is the new orange dot.
-
And now for the inevitable panic frenzy.
-
We're doing our best to give them a late goal
-

-
Gollini and Elphick are the new Laurel and Hardy.

Final whistle goes as Russon plays the best song off the new Fannies album.
A rather good end to the weekend.
-
Pleasure Russon, kept me entertained for a couple of hours here at work.
-
Theres only one Alex Russon
-
Good songs and a DJ that you want to listen to. Special place this h&v
-
3 points off playoffs now :)
-
We need a thread for requests for the Russon show next week. Far more entertaining than the Villa.
-
3 points off playoffs now :)
