2-0 Newcastle.God, you lawyers are so negative....
Tight game then we commit defensive hari-kiri. Never look like equalising and concede a match killing second in the last few minutes.

Sorry buddy... but decades of supporting this once proud institution has made me extremely cynical - knowing the Villa they will beat Liverpool and then lose to Palace :(2-1 win because we have toWe always do so well in our "must win games" ……… struggle to keep clean sheets and cant score... what on earth could go wrong? :)
Ha, ha you have burst my balloon
I think we'll win. I'm not sure how but I can see us doing them.
And go for the juggler from the off.

Pitch-side entertainment aswell? They certainly know how to put on a show behind closed doors up north.
Smith gets bested by managers who know how to change a game and are just generally more tactically aware
we have a good chance on Wednesday because we know Newcastle haven’t got one of those
Hoping this is where Smith proves me wrong. He has a good record against Bruce, and we are due some luck.I think we had our luck against sheff U.
I think Dean has completely lost the plot and I am (was?) a big fan of him.
After watching Newcastle destroy Sheff Utd not sure what optimistic drug some posters are on.
Must win. These aren't Chelsea. No standing off admiring them for ninety minutes. Fucking go for it or fucking go down.

McGinn looked slow to me, which isn't a surprise really but we're running out of time to get him fit. Drinkwater was the same when he came in. We need players all over the pitch who are fit and capable.
I'd rest McGinn and play Luiz and Nakamba together.
Nyland
Elmo Konsa Mings Targett
Luiz Nakamba
AEG Grealish
Samatta Davis
But then I'm not a manager and there isn't a chance in hell of that happening.
I cannot believe that we have not even earned a booking in 2 games - get stuck in you feckers - our club deserves better effort than what you are serving up.
We have never done very well up there, I think. Then again, we haven't done well anywhere for ages.
There is a glaringly obvious flaw in our current plan: We are asking our wide men to tuck in and cover. When we do win the ball back we then try and go immediately long to Davis who wins a good percentage of the ball and retains possession with absolutely nobody within 40yards of him. He then swaps out Samatta and Davis and we ask AS to play a way that obviously isn't his strength. Its fucking stupid. If this is what he wants to do, he needs to find a way of them playing together. Wide men are currently a waste of fucking time. Its annoying me that he either cant see this or is hoping its going to miraculously work somehow.
My team would be;
Nyland
Guilbert Mings Hause Targett
Luiz Drinkwater Nakamba
McGinn
Grealish
Davis
Reina
Konsa
Elmo
Hourihane
Jota
Lansbury
El Ghazi
Samatta
Barry
I’d play Drinkwater on the basis that this fake football that they are playing with no crowds has so little pace that he won’t get over run & Douglas aside our midfield on Sunday were a disgrace - if we had more options I would also have dropped McGinn to bench to give him a rest & the opportunity to come on with 25-30 minutes to go rather than trying to pace himself from kick off.
I can see the calls for two up top but do we have enough in midfield to make that a possibility?
Tomorrow is massive.

Away at Norwich this season. That Sunderland game never happened.
Not for me it didn't. The wounds run deep.
Interesting. It's not Tim Flowers, lately of Solihull Moors, is it ?
We need to win this or on Saturday, or I think we can forget staying up. But listening to the West Ham fans on Talk Sport, they sound as though they have the same problems as us, no direction and lots of money spent on poor signings. And many thought that Villa played well against Chelsea and that their team is going down.Those are words of people who read / heard we went one up and put in a battling defensive display. Not people who actually watched the game and saw how utterly bereft of ideas we truly were.
Guilbert and Targett are better than our ‘wingers’ that we have
Therefore they should be the ones we look for width from.

So they play one up front and push full backs on to our wide players.Guilbert and Targett are better than our ‘wingers’ that we have

Yes I’d be happy with that line up, and if Guilbert isn’t fit then Elmo. Surely we must try 2 up front because his preferred system is pants, but I’ll be very surprised if he does.

Bruce has done better with what I think is a limited Newcastle side than I thought he would. I must admit this match has crept up on me as I didn't realise it was scheduled so soon.

Snowing in Newcastle, match might be off.
