Do I get a prize for being just one player out on my team prediction?
If Hourihane was fit (or is he suspended), I'd probably have been spot on
-
5-1-1-2-1?! That's the thing with Bruce, he knows what he's doing at this level...
-
Feck, it's started raining now
-
4-3-3 (I think) or 4-5-1 ?
Our luck has to change sometime surely?
-
I'd have gone with Bree over Hutton and possibly Grealish for Green but not far off our best team. Come on you Villa boys!
-
I take it Bent is playing?

Where is Hourihane? Don't tell me, another new signing injured?

I like Bree but I think Hutton should keep his place after being our best player in the last match.
-
Have only made it as far as the Small Heath ground and traffic a nightmare. I think I'm going to miss the first two Derby goals at this rate.
-

Yes
-
For anyone in the US with the appropriate cable subscription it's on BeIn Sports Connect Channel 4 (https://beinsportsconnect.tv/index.html)
-
Whenever I see Hutton in the line up my heart sinks.
-
I take it Bent is playing?
Has anyone not got money on him to score?

Only Derby fans and Muslims, I'd imagine.

Yep plenty of streams out here
-
Kodja already with his second attempt today to win an Oscar for Best Male Actor. The man is ridiculous.

Thought there wasn't anything wrong with him the last game, he didn't fancy it after we went down.
-
Stop changing players and formations Potato. Pick the same week in week out (obviously changing them if injured/suspended).
-
How do we look? Or is it once again all huff and puff with no end result?
-
We've had two decent chances, but other than that it's pretty drab.

So you'd have picked Tommy Elphick then?

-
Goal?
-
YeSSSSSHHHHHH!!
-
CHESTER!
-
Shhh!
-
We scored a wha?
-
LOL I got an alert that Chester had scored and nobody had mentioned it here
-
He deserved that.
-
Yes, goal, Chester!
-
Chester took it on his chest before heading it in.
-
There's a bit of an arse-handing going on at the Theater of Tears
-
JK assist?
-
Yay!
-
Chester took it on his chest before heading it in.
Knee
-
We're getting pinned back. This doesn't look promising.
-

just played your wild billy track mate, cracker thanks
-
If only Hutton would stick to the flank and not get sucked into the middle.
-
Johnstone gives me kittens.
-
Based on previous weeks I guess there's a fair chance we will go in at HT one up or at least level, Brolly comb-over man will then make some tactical changes and Bruce will stand there dumbfounded as Derby take the initiative in the second half.
-

Damn, I missed it. Can't get a connection. But thanks, anyway.
-
Fucking hell Kod, look up and pass it forward man.
-

Now I've got it. Nice bit of Dexy's.
-
Why cant we ever get more then 1 or 2 players in the box when we attacking?
-
Kodja is one lazy selfish footballer
-
what is wrong with Kodija perfectly good forward ball he could have played.
-
The ref's playing a blinder.
-
Hutton just tackled himself. Now that's commitment.
-
Christ, Hutton
-
Hutton just tackled himself. Now that's commitment.
If only everyone worked as hard as Hutton...
-
The ref's playing a blinder.
MOM so far for me.
-
Be nice to see Adomah and Kodjia wake up at times.
-
Hutton just tackled himself. Now that's commitment.
If only everyone worked as hard as Hutton...
Are you kidding? 80% of our problems stem from him.Offensively gives away possession,defensively out of position.
Hook him at half time.
-
Hutton just tackled himself. Now that's commitment.
If only everyone worked as hard as Hutton...
He's had a very good game up until now then he reminds you that he's very Jekyll and Hyde.
-
bit drab that but take the scoreline
kodja really frustrates me , we go on the break , he just needs to pass the ball to someone whos running through in a good position ( think it was Adomah ) and he being the greedy twat ends up passing the ball back losing the chance to hurt Derby.
-
I have a foreign language stream if anyone needs one.
-
Who was "marking" Chester for the goal? Was it our Daz?
-

yes, please the 2 I've tried won't load
-
Who was "marking" Chester for the goal? Was it our Daz?
Yup, a half arsed Bent.
-
Who was "marking" Chester for the goal? Was it our Daz?
He was certainly very near when the goal went in.
-
I have a foreign language stream if anyone needs one.
yes please!
-
We were ok once Bacuna "came on" after 20 minutes. Green needs to get more involved. Hutton is best player on the pitch for Derby.
-
A wonder goal from Chester... as we were wondering when we would score....
-
35% possession at home is not very good is it
-
Stream please
-
Will take 35% of anything as only statistic that counts is scoreline
-
Sounds like SB read a " How to do Tactics " book and the first section was..." Counter-Attack:Play on the break " but according to the lads here, he forgot to get it translated for Kodjia !
-
how the fuck did that not go in
-
Ooh Green unlucky son, great header.
-
Did well there did Green
-
love how Bruce bollocked Kodja and tehn he actually won the ball instead of just standing there
-
very unlucky, tight angle but he did well.
-
Indeed but what a cracking ball in from Bacuna.
-
I'm watching in Portuguese.
-
check your messages edvard
-
Ill be surprised if Bruce can talk after this with all the barking hes doing.
-
Huddersfield could win the league the run they're on.
-
Greeny gaining confidence
-
Taylor at left back is a lot rubbish.
-
Any chance of a stream?

Great to hear that ! He's been surprisingly reserved for several matches now. Certainly seemed very quiet on the TV against the bar-codes. Keep shouting Brucie, we all need to know you care !
-
I've had to reload my stream and now I can't get rid of the effing ads!
-
should be 2 by now
Hutton chance there

Fucking Hutton you bell

Just about all of them, but try LS Hunter, it's what I'm watching on.

corey you've got mail
-

I think we're playing quite well this half, some neat passing in midfield. Green looks confident.
-
Green's a bit raw but having someone running at the opposition is creating a bit of space for us at times.
-
Bruce once again has little idea how to adapt once the opposition switch things around. We're gifting them space by dropping deeper again.
-
Possession is 9 tenths of the law and we've had 34% so that means.......er......
-
Why, oh why must we play like we believe that we're the plucky underdogs against every team we meet?
-
Why, oh why must we play like we believe that we're the plucky underdogs against every team we meet?
Because we are?
-
I'm not sure Green playing is the right thing considering where we are, he seems to have a lot of potential but no end product.
-

Yep
-

Harsh.Been our best offensive player
-
I don't know how accurate the in game stats are but 59% pass accuracy is a telling statistic.
-

Because we are?
Yep
We may be the underdog on form but we have fuck all pluck.
-
I understand Bruce does not want to lose this one and caution is the word, but for fucks sake why can we not score two ?
-

We forked out nigh on 50m in the last 2 years on players who have no end product so may as well give him a go
-
The tactic is the usual, withdraw all attacking outlets, sit narrow in our own box and prepare to concede.
-
We're now shitting ourselves.
-

Looks like we're going 4-5-1 and will try to hang on for 20 minutes.
-
Thanks all - got a few to chose from. Football is shit on all of them...
-
I thought Green started to run into defenders instead of around them this half. The dude from Cliffhanger comes on.
-
Thanks for the PM's guys...appreciated
-

Ran into a defender once
-
At least we probably won't lose.
-
We're playing so deep by full-time our back ten will be lining up on Witton Island.

👏👏👏👏
-
Sitting back is a mistake, but it may be a confidence thing as much as a tactical decision.
-
Bloody hell, that was close.
-
Just no pressure from Villa when Derby are on the ball. Derby are going to score
-
We can't do another ten minutes of this.
-
Here's an idea.Mark Hughes.
-
To be fair you can hear Bruce bellowing at them to push further out.
-
Its coming isint it.
-
WOW Amavi, lost the ball and as slow as you like jogs back like he doesn't give 2 facks.
-
Hmmmm - we aren't even closing them down just in front of the box - this spells Derby goals
-
Embarrassing tactics by Bruce
-
Attack for fucks sake
-
Has somebody tipped the pitch up towards the Witton End?
-
please just win. please.
-
Embarrassing tactics by Bruce
Feel of Eric Black - get a result no matter how ugly and simple
-
4-6-0?
-
FFS Bacuna should have scored. Had more time but slipped trying to rush a shot with the goal empty.
-

Not that he ever got one.
-
Shit Subs
-
Just thought I'd check in for the score from my holidays. Unbelievable we're winning in the 89th minute.
-
Year after year, week after week teams have passed around our players. It's staggering that in all that time nobody at the club has ever thought, 'we should give that a try'.
-
Gardner has done enough to get a rating after the game.
-
This is classic Villa now. Desperately trying to suck it in our own net.
-
feck that was ... argghhh
-
Thought that was in from Bent then.
-
Now down to 29% possession at home 😳
-
3 points, all that matters, done.
-
Fucking grinning idiot Bacuna.
-
Bacuna straight red. Ridiculous decision from the ref initially, and then Bacuna in his response.
-
That ref's got a teeny tiny head.
-
obviously cant cant condone Bacuna, but it did look like our throw.
-
WON
-
Bacon straight red. Ridiculous decision from the ref initially, and then Bacuna in his response.
He made a pig's ears of it.
Have we won yet?
-
The grimmest win I think I've ever seen. But a win.
-
FFS...A win!!!
-
Thank fuck for that.
-
Alleluia and praise McGrath!
-
The grimmest win I think I've ever seen. But a win.
Yup, as ugly goes that was pig ugly.
-
Get in Villa!!
It wasn't pretty but we dug in and actually worked hard and battled well.
Also that twat linesman should have given that to us, I just thought Bacuna cared, that's all.
I'd rather see that trait in our players.

What a swine
-
Must go down as the quietest thread for a long time .......I wonder why?
-
Bacuna was only saying what a fair few of us would be thinking.
You'd like to thing the officials would take the importance of the game and the situation (holding on for dear life in the last few minutes) into consideration.
But common sense with the stream of muppets we get officiating games at VP is too much to hope for.
-
Bacuna ran his socks off all game before that red...happy to see him actually picked for a position he likes rather then as bandaid for some other position we missing.
Too bad he gets suspended now.
-
Bacuna was a cock and could have cost us
-
So that's what 3 points look like
Don't care if it is pretty, but yep, the possession is embarrassing, and dangerous, esp with only 1 goal to hold on to.
-
We have to be able to win ugly in this league. Well done boys.
