Johnstone, Hutton, Amavi, Chester, Baker, Westwood, Lansbury, Adomah, Grealish, Gabby
Subs: Bacuna, Bunn, Elphick, Tshibola, Gardner, Davis, Richards
-
Two Grealishes? He's too infuriating as one.
-
Looks like McCormack is off then.
-
I was quite looking forward to today.
Saw Westwood and Agbonlahor in the team. Won't be following it now. Can't and won't support either of them.
Bruce must have a deathwish....If we don't start winning soon, he is going to bear the brunt of a massive backlash.
Hope we win.
-
Was looking forward to this and then I see the names, Westwood, flabby and Richards and all hope goes down the crapper.
-
What's wrong with Jedinak
-

Well, he's making a rod for his own back is Bruce. These are the players that will only contribute to us staying down in the Championship. I despise them.
-
Two Grealishes? He's too infuriating as one.
I understand he has a split personality and wants to play both sides of Gabby. And frankly the rotund one needs all the help he can get.
-
Gabby again ????
-
Jedinak injured? Very,very bad idea to back Gabby and bin McCormack, unless swapping Ross for Jordan. No goal threat in this team, yet great ability to concede soft goals, again.
-
Who is Bachman ?
-
Gabby again ????
If McCormack is off or injured it's either Gabby or Davis. It's not like he has a ton of choice. It would be good if RHM signed that contract.
-
Who is Bachman ?
New signing from Austria where autocorrect doesn't fucking exist LOL
-
I've revised my prediction to 0-2.
-
I'm guessing Jedinak and McCormack are both injuries? It makes no sense to get rid of Ross when we've only got one other striker, especially as we'll get no where near what we paid at the moment and a loan makes no sense.
-
There's only 10 players on both of those line ups so maybe jedinak or RMC are playing....
-
Who is Bachman ?
New signing from Austria where autocorrect doesn't fucking exist LOL
Haha, I wasn't pulling you up on purpose on these, I thought he might be a young goalie but then saw the Currant Bunn was there.
Is Hourihane involved for Barnsley, anyone know ?
-
Johnstone, Hutton, Amavi, Chester, Baker, Westwood, Lansbury, Adomah, Grealish, Gabby
Subs: Bacuna, Bunn, Elphick, Tshibola, Gardner, Davis, Richards
10 players? Presume Jedinak is the other one?
I know he is no world beater but what Bacuna has done to get dropped I just don't know
Seeing that despicable pr*ck Richards back in the squad makes my blood boil

5.30 kick off.
-
I'm no fan of Tshibola but surely he should have been in ahead of Pointy.
-
Green starting ?
-
Westwood and Gabby. Great.
-
Green is the other starter.
-
Green is indeed starting.
-
Green is the mystery 11th man
-
4-2-3-1 then...????
-
Really poor line up. We will struggle! It's very cold!
-
We'll have width now at least with Adomah & Green on the flanks to whip in crosses for?........
Oh, forget it!
-
Oh dear.
What does Westwood have to do to get dropped, Already put in 2 no shows against Norwich ( was it only 15 passes all game) and Cardiff ,Yet still gets picked.
I fear for SB if we lose this, Don't understand when all the supporters can see Westwood and Gabby are holding the Villa back.
Also remember was it Westwood early on the season at Preston losing the ball and Preston scoring from it.
-
PM for stream/audio link would be much appreciated :)
-
Down to the bare bones now.
-
I'm no fan of Tshibola but surely he should have been in ahead of Pointy.
To be fair Tshibola played with his head up his arse last weekend, letting runners off him and not getting on the ball
Westwood then eh
Looks a horribly unbalanced line up, Lansbury hasn't played for some time has he? Might be asking a bit much of him to run our midfield next to Westwood today. Mcgeady might get joy behind them today.
Grealish in a free role where he tends to hide and Flabby as our only option up top. We are bound to get lots of first time crosses in today with the two wingers but can't imagine we will have anyone to take advantage .
At least with Baker in ahead of Elphick we should be able to play a higher defensive line until he inevitably hobbles off
-
Thread still unstickied at kick-box, maybe it's the new orange dot.
-
Is this on the radio?
-
Can't see where the goals will come from
Also surely it's time to give up on Westwood. Hundred plus games and not yet in double figures in goals scored
-

yep
-
Is this on the radio?
Apparently it's on DAB in the Midlands? The Villa site apparently have radio coverage, but I've not found anything else so far. :(
-

villa site has commentary if you subscribe
-
How many bloody penalties have Blues been awarded this season Ffs
-
On the plus side, at least it's not on TV.
-

Aston Villa 4-1 Preston North End
Agbonlahor (4)

I pay 4.99 a month for avtv and your lucky if it ever fucking loads the live commentary from bbcwm!

adoma goal
-
Phew
-
Adomah's goal.
-
Goal
-
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal
-
Hasn't Bruce said it ad nauseum?.The players purchased have been bought for the sake of it and are no better than what we have. That is the garbage we bought last summer.No surprises then that Gabby and Westwood are in the team and McCormack and that plonker from Palace are missing.
-
GET IN THERE!!!
-
Get in!! , been posting in the wrong thread and couldn't understand why no one was celebrating the goal
That goal has been coming, now we need another!
-
Poor Gabby! Hasn't scored in yonks and Adomah robs his goal on the line.
Sounds like we're playing well for a change.
-
Looks like McCormack is off then.
Yes off to Tescos , for some Pies
-
Nice one Bert!
-
Rambo at villa Park, I wish he was playing for us today.
-
Fucking hell has Westwood scored?
-
Fucking hell has Westwood scored?
Adomah.

Just for you, I've moved the other thread.
(which we should probably have done about an hour ago)
-
nearly 2 0 westwood
-
Fucking hell has Westwood scored?
Almost.
-
Fucking hell has Westwood scored?
Adomah.
Ahhh, Live score must be telling porkies.
-
Fuck knows how it's only 1-0. Playing well and have to say that Gabby has been very good.
-
How's Lansbury getting on?
-
Penalty.
-
pen?
-
Playing really well aren't we.
-
Penalty!!
-
Will Barry take the penalty?
-
Adomah scores
-
How's Lansbury getting on?
Pinging balls, making us play
-
2-0
-
TWO NILLL!!

Great stuff.

2 0
-

-

-
Get in, sounds like I've missed a good half so far.
-
Sounds like our best performance of the season. Keep on pressing Villa, do not sit back.
-
Finally, the real Aston Villa have turned up.
-
really playing well!

We sound a lot more cohesive. Add a proper midfielder to the side and the balance looks so much better
-
What have i seen that correctly, a 2-0 cushion
-
Preston fans not happy.
-
While Westwood & Hutton have done ok today, upgrade them with Hourihane and Bree, throw in Kodjia for Gabby and all of sudden things look a lot better
-
The attendance will be a bit lower at ht than it was at ko.

Such a pity we had a mullet like RDM in the summer, this team we finish the season with could be very very good.
-
Preston fans not happy.
Fuck 'em
-

I know ,I am scared
-
Crivens! I just nipped out for half an hour - & we're 2 up. Marvelous scenes.
Keep it goin' boys!
-
Lansbury has made a significant difference already
-
How's Green doing ?
-
Try and get as many as possible now. We need a thumping win.
FTF
-

Idowgerrit?
-
this is just what we need, not just a winning result (so far)
but a good performance to give us confidence,
I'd almost given up in thinking we would ever play well again
-
Blackburn just equalised vs Blues so we go up a place.
-
A few have been nicked already.
-
Lansbury has made a significant difference already
That is good to hear, as so often our newbies do not make the slightest difference.
-
HT Solid first half indeed

Can't get those - how do I get access? Member of which group or?
-
Half time and comfortable so far. I've slaughtered him on here over last few years but Gabby has been very good today.
-
Just got in. Richards? That had better be M Richards as in Morphy Richards or Mindy Richards and not that fucking charlatan from last year.
-
Half time and comfortable so far. I've slaughtered him on here over last few years but Gabby has been very good today.
Sounds like he's finally getting a bit of service.
-
Never seen a single player make such a difference as Lansbury has today. Alert, mobile, good at football. All qualities I'm sure we'll quickly coach out of him

Here's hoping he caps his debut with a goal akin to the one he scored the last time he was at VP.
:)

Adomah Pen:

Many a true word spoken in jest ::)

The massive gap that existed between our midfield and front line sounds much tighter. Having Jedinak, Westwood, Gardner in any combination was the problem. Hopefully once Hourihane arrives next week we can really press sides and have our midfield support Kodjia more and get on the end of passes from the likes of Adomah or Jack.
-
Sounds like he's got us playing again, hopefully we can carry it through to the 2nd half, a big win would be really good for us.
-
close effort - chance for 3
-
The massive gap that existed between our midfield and front line sounds much tighter.
I read somewhere we're playing 4-1-4-1.

Yep could be, but if the players in the middle of that system don't like to get forward or simply don't have the ability to then the gap will still exist. All of a sudden Lansbury adds that and it pushes us forward, them back and supports the attack.
-
grealish come on
slot him in
-
Should have scored again there. Poor from Jack.
-
If Flabby scores I am going to have a celebratory wank on Facebook Live video.
-
It is all us right now. We simply have to score again and kill this game off.
-
Sounds like Gabby is having a blinder.
-
we are playing well today
Green looks good
-
baker free header to make it 3
-
Fuck me Baker should have scored
-
Villa need to get a third from all this pressure and kill Preston's chances
-
Come on Villa! Being fickle as fuck, I might break into the 'fast as fuck' / 'bound to score' song.
-
Villa need to get a third from all this pressure and kill Preston's chances
I had to read that twice as it didn't compute.

That's what I meant, Preston back in it
-
Normal service to be resumed?
-
Game on. Still leading just need to take on and exploit chances wjen Preston come forward. Really would have been nice to be out of sight by 3 or 4 . I like to feel still win this!
-
Preston exploited the space left by Hutton who was in the centre circle. He really needs to stop going walkabout.
-
Think we're going to need another. Looking a bit iffy this half
-

You win.

blimey Radio WM is miles behind the game!
-
Fuck me thought they were gonna score
-
preston close to score
chester brave header
-
Chester has just done a brave header. Is that far behind? Are we 3-1 up?
-
Brave and a half from chester. Diving headfirst into flying boots
-
Mobile phone tribute to SGT looked good

-
Oh and Bollocks!
-
Disappointed Lansbury is off but not heard him or Westwood mentioned much this half
-
Bacuna on for Angela
-
We can't last 90 minutes, a great first 70 minutes and we're looking like we might lose this
-
only the villa can waste so many chances and lose a 2-0 cushion,
so we need a 3-0 start to get 3 points now
-
Hourihane and Bree both starting for Barnsley.
-
Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. ::)

We still look like we have another goal in us. So do they though.
-
Come on lads. Step it up!
-
Crikey. I'm not even slightly annoyed. I've become so numbed to it.

We don't win anything like enough matches.
2-0 and coasting and you just know what happens next

Oops! Sorry! Big pics.

Amavi off GG on. Amavi been a but crap this half

We don't win anything like enough matches.

Depending on how you measure it - this is the 7th/8th year of this decade and it has been like throughout all of it
-
Oops! Sorry! Big pics.
Was the last photo during the SGT tribute?
-
The only difference being we are now doing it against so called weaker opposition.
-
5 minutes stoppage time

Oops! Sorry! Big pics.

Yes, it was posted by AVFC on Twitter.
