It's probably too much to ask for RHM to have started but hopefully we'll see him again during the game. Pretty much the expected line up, though it annoys me why he doesn't go with two up front at home? Anyway here you go chaps

Hogan up front on his own has been a roaring success so can see why he stuck with it.

Again results have gone well for us
 
Not too confident about today but if we can win we’re well within touching distance of second again with some very winnable home games coming up

Could be a game for some fresh legs - O’Hare and / or RHM - to make a difference

No surprises with that starting 11. I just hope to God we take the game to Brizzle today & Hogan finally finds his pre-Villa mojo. I fancy we'll need big games from Jack & Albert if we're to get a positive result tonight (and I hope Tommy Elphick continues to confound the critics after Boro).

Come on Villa!

Bereft of ideas. No work rate off the ball.

Bruce has just had a go at Hogan for no reason other than not finding space. Up front on his own against 3 centre halves.

Bruce out (too early?)

Grealish is trying to thread the ball through to Hogan when he gets it. It’s all a bit cramped though on the edge of the box and too slow/deliberate.

We looked crap in the first 10-15. Yes they could have been ahead with better finishing. We came into the game after that and have been much the better side. But I’m not going to dismiss that we barely touched the ball early on and they had chances to score.

If we lose this I'll dress up as a silverback and punch Bonnie Langford in the throat.

Will you ever learn Jimbo? Lol.

Actually, Jim, I reckon Bonnie' s safe!!

I should think so. She took an injunction out on him after last time.

He does. And if played to that strength much like playing the ball into Hogan’s feet we’d be much more effective.
