Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe
Taylor
McGinn
Hourihane
Grealish
Kodjia
Abraham
Bolasie
In 4-2-3-1.
Can someone add a poll please
-
Done. 2-0.
-
Even with our owners, i'd think Bruce would be worried if he didn't win this one. 2-0.
-
2-0 + win Saturday crisis over Bruce rules …….Top Four …..
-
4-0 and Bruce is the smuggest/arrogant man ever in his post match interview
-
We'll make hard work of it and win by 1 goal.
Bruce keeps his job for a few more days.
-
3-0 Then followed by "Hysterical fans" interview with his media chums.
-
Nyland, Bree, Chester, Axel, Taylor, BB, McGinn, AA, Hourihane, Bolasie, Abraham
4231, give Albert a try on the right and Bree a go maybe, Hutton was rubbish again at weekend.
We did some of our best work at the end of last season when we started rotating the squad regularly.
-
Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzabe
Elmo
Hourihane
Mcginn
Grealish
Bolasie
Kodjia
Abraham.
-
I’d like El Ghazi in the side.
-
Nailed on draw.
1-1
-
El Ghazi must replace elmo ….
-
Nyland
Elmo
Chester
Tuanzebe
Hutton
El Ghazi
McGinn
Grealish
Bolasie
Abraham
Kodjia
Pretty please.
-
Draw. Just because we always f@$k it up when I say win and even we can't lose at home to Rotherham. Can we?
-
2-1 to us....
-
El Ghazi must replace elmo ….
I'd play Elmo right back. He rarely let's us down when he plays there and besides with the wingers we now have, he shouldn't be first choice to play out wide.
-
2-1 win and Bruce being a twat post-match.
-
I'd go two up top, kodjia off tammy
-
2-1 win and Bruce being a twat post-match.
That's a given whatever the result.
-
Not even Bruce can bugger this one up. Villa win.
Nyland
Elmo Tuanzebe Chester Hutton
Whelan
Bolasie McGinn Grealish Kodjia
Abraham
Not that I'd pick Whelan, but this is what I think he will go for.
-
Not sure I get the huge sense of "these are shit , we're bound to win however shit we are".
They're much better than 2 years ago when we battered them. They only have 2 points less than us and they have played better teams . They're coming off a win over Lampard's lot.
1-0 and thats heart over head and assuming Nyland's customary howler somehow doesn't cost us.
Really want us to smash them though.

A clean sheet? Never, we just don't do that. I'm going for 3-1.
-
We'll make hard work of it and win by 1 goal.
Bruce keeps his job for a few more days.
Yeah can see this being a scrappy 2-1. This is usually a regulation 3-0 win v this opponent but we're just not playing that well and Rotherham had very good win at the weekend.
-
A goal in each half and a fairly comfortable 2-0 win unless we concede late on to set up a nervous last few minutes.
-
El Ghazi must replace elmo ….
I'd play Elmo right back. He rarely let's us down when he plays there and besides with the wingers we now have, he shouldn't be first choice to play out wide.
Was thinking after flying back from the international break last week and then Saturday-Tuesday might be better to give some fresh legs a run up the wing. But agree I like him at RB …..
-
First clean sheet 0 0 then who knows

Yes. Elmo RB. Hutton LB. Tuanzene and Chester CB.
Whelan DM
meaning McGinn and Grealish (CM/AM)given licence, nay instruction to GET F**KING UPFIELD AND CLOSE TO TAMMY
BOLASIE RW (if fit for 90, else Adomah, with Bolasie of the bench)
EL GHAZI LW (with Kodjia on as sub to finish the job)
ABRAHAM CF (don't worry son, I've told Jack and McGinn to get close to you and the wingers to get some bloody crosses in)
COME ON VILLA , GET IN
-
Villa 5 Millers 0.
Conga to start on 70 minutes, with our keeper leading it.
-
Villa 5 Millers 0.

71 minutes goal conceded at the near post while he's halfway up the Holte End?

Not if the ball boys are on the job. :)

Wouldn’t it be ace after we won the match and then during his twatish drivel he was sacked on the spot.
-
1-1
Bland, disorganised football.
-
I'll go 1-1 too. An uninspiring outfit turning up at Villa Park hoping to nick a point...against Rotherham United. Nailed on drab draw. Goals from Jedinak (at both ends).
-
As no one else can be bothered. I’m going 3-1 win as surely not even Bruce could fuck this up.
Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe
Taylor
McGinn
Hourihane
Grealish
Kodjia
Abraham
Bolasie
In 4-2-3-1.
Can someone add a poll please
Completely agree with this line up for the rest of the season.
Unless a left sided, left footed, fast centre back arrives in the next window and three at the back becomes an option.
Subs.
Moreira
Bree
Bjarnason
El Ghazi
Adomah
-
id like to see Tammy , Kodja , jack , Conor and McGinn all start and either el gharzi or bolaise ,, I dont want to see whelan or Jedi playing.
-
Will be worrying if we can't beat these lot. Still Bruce's post match interview might be more entertaining ::) 3-1 to the Villa. Jack, Connor and Tammy to get his first Villa goal.
-
4-4-2 (remember that?!) for this one;
Nyland; Hutton, Tuanzebe, Chester, Taylor; Bolasie, McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish (starting on the left, but drifting infield); Kodjia, Abraham.
El Ghazi coming-off the bench with 30 minutes to go.
-
Bolasie won't start
Nyland
Elmo Chester tuanzebe Taylor
McGinn hourihane
El ghazi grealish Kodjia
Abraham
But switch to 442 at time with Kodjia up top and jack tucked in on the left. The key is getting people closer to Abraham
-
Although those criticising Whelan: from what I've seen he's been our best player this season
-
I think we'll get a 2-1 win to keep the wolf from SBs door. Abrahams to get a couple.
-

You didn’t go to Sheff U away then?
Then again neither did Whelan so.....
-
It won't happen under Bruce, but I would avoid playing a DCM. I'd definitely go with a Hourihane, Kodjia, El Ghazi return in the starting line-up. We need to play on the front foot in the opponents half not ours. I don't want to see Grealish in the left back position like saturday
Nyland (if we have to), Elmo, chester, Axel, Taylor, el ghazi, mcginn, grealish, Conor, Kodjia, Tammy.
Subs must include Thor, Hutton, bolasie, rhm, o hare, bree and a goalie
-
2-0 win and all is good again.
-
Are we all agreed that we don't need a defensive midfielder sitting in front of the back four to try and stiffle and add protection against the rampaging might of Rotherham? If Bruce plays either Whelan or Jedinak he can pack his desk up at half time and feck off tonight.
McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish, Bolasie, Kodjia, Abraham.
-
No doubt Mr Goofball will set up to not lose, probably going 4 5 1,with the Zimmer frame twins (Whelan & Jedinak) playing in front of the defence.
Scrappy 1-0 and a rewind of any of the previous two years of self centred drivel, where any and everyone but him gets the blame.
Thank God I'm not going to be able to watch the game, as I'll be celebrating 25years of marriage with my better half in Albufera.
-
We lose tonight and he's a goner.
2-1 to us and another stay of execution.
-
3-3
-
1-1 for me.
-
I’d like El Ghazi in the side.
Me too but not sure how long his punishment for his bad mouthing will last
Some of the hopeful line ups look brilliant but isn’t there a rule of no more than 5 loan players in match day squad ?
-
Nyland (still does not feel like "our" proper keeper)
Elmo Chester Tuanzabe Hutton
Bolasie Grealish McGinn El Ghazi
Abrahams Kodjia
Subs:
The other poor keeper
Whelan
Bjork
Bree
Adomah
Hourihane
RHM
That squad should be out of site already considering the fixtures and weak defence we have
NO MORE EXCUSES
-
For me, if looks like the poison is back in the dressing room and the players and manager are just going through the motions. Home loss.
-
Welcome to the last day of Bruce's time as Villa manager.
-
I pride myself on knowing at least one or two players of opposition or being familiar without looking I couldn't name a Rotherham player .
I may be familiar when I do look
Of course they are another promoted team yet I was aware of Dack, Danny Graham Charlie Mullgrew at Balckburn for eg so will need to check any Rotherham players if heard of them
So I was surprised they beat Derby by all accounts fair play to them as they are expected to be lower level
I do wonder how Bruce will play this I imainge mixing things and some more squad changes
I don't know who he's going to start and wouldn't be surprised if he did make some changes in and around the whole line up.
What like to see is 4-3-3 and give Bolaise 60 mins but maybe more a put on job and El ghazi starts with Adomah.
Mcginn can well be rested and jedinak ?? Can mile play two on such a short space of time
Tuanzebe and Abrahams can he trust these young players to play or be left making excuses it's too much for them
Up front and system Wise will be very interesting
The perhaps bigger test is against sheffield Wednesday but as Bruce is desperately need win will he go strong and have attacking impetus from get go.
Elmohamedys can be left on bench or something as can Adomah but I think he'll play one
But also what's he doing with Kodija and Abrahams.
So many questions ??
But I like a 3+ goal margin win and a clean sheets
So 3-0
Reality 2-1
Positive all coming together 4 or 5-0
-
0-1
-
There must be a scoreline that gives us three points and gets Bruce fired. I'd like that one please.
-
It's Abraham. No S on the end.
-
We will lose tonight - they will be up for it, there is huge pressure on us, and spudface will once again go with a defensive line up (he doesn’t know any better).
0-1
He has got to go!
-
3-0
-
We should win this comfortably, but probably won't. Whatever, like Bruce, it won't be pretty.
-
For me, if looks like the poison is back in the dressing room and the players and manager are just going through the motions. Home loss.
The way the players celebrated the goal on Saturday didn't suggest the players don't care.
-

Rotherham get three sent off yet we have zero efforts on goal until their last red card leads to a dodgy penalty which we convert. Rotherham then have a goal wrongly disallowed in the final minute. FT 1-0. Att. at FT 12,999 who all boo Bruce and Villa off the field.
-
Lose this and I can't see anyway he can stay in his job, 1-1 for me, if we come away with all 3 points that will keep him in situ for the next few games because at this point in the season it potentially takes us right in shooting distance of the top 4, misleading as that is.
Rotherham, don't think they are going to be anybody's kicking post here, they will fancy this or at least a point.
-
Ever since FIFA 1999, I've played wingers as wing-backs so let's go:
Nyland
Hutton
Tunanzabe
Chester
El Ghazi
McGinn
Hourihane
Grealish
Bolasie
Kodjia
Abraham
-
I am hoping for a win and Steve Bruce castigating fans for being hysterical and walking out of Press conference in disgust and handing in his resignation saying he is far too good for this tip pot club and lt's deluded fans. Now that would be a result.
-
We'd better not start with one up top. That is all.
-
I see you can watch the game for £10 on avtv, ive heard some horror stories with the service and the stream though so is it worth trying?
-
Grealish being watched tonight regarding England
-
AVTV is atrocious.
-
anyway 1-0 win to keep the clown in a job until at least Halloween
-
Grealish being watched tonight regarding England
Let's hope he turns up then in that case.

I wouldn’t bother. Watched a couple of games on it with my son when abroad. Commentary was often out of sync and regularly lost signal.
-
Brucey to get a 'Get out of Jail' card.
4-1 Villa

Sky sports red button, 19.45, hopefully with commentary.

3-0 home win.

I wouldn't bet against it

I've been saying that weekly for the last two years. Maybe tonight eh?
-
A cheeky 1-0 against Rotherham - get one on the break then sit back. Hmm. I hope I haven't ruined Steve's team talk.

How does that work? I'm on Sky Q and tried it last time. We were on but it kept requesting subscription or payment

No. I thought they were showing some championship games for free
-
Promising start but we should be in front.
-
Amazed that I can't find a stream for this game.
-
I'm more amazed that folks keep posting in the pre-match thread :P

Ha! It must be our age, PWS.
