• Right now any win will do to change the tide a bit.  2-1 Villa.  Tammy and Connor to get our goals.

  Is Albert or BB fit?
  
  If so I'd go with;
  
  Nyland
  
  Taylor
  Chester
  Tuanzebe
  Hutton
  
  McGinn
  BB
  
  Albert
  Grealish
  Bolasie
  
  Tammy
  

  
  That should be our best team I reckon.
  

  
  Pretty sure I heard Dean Smith  saying in his press conference Bjarnason is injured and will miss tonight.

• For everyone's sanity and nerves I sincerely hope it's not three losses on the bounce - I predict a nervy 2-1 victory
  C'mon Smithy sort the feckers out and point us in the right direction

• I wouldn't be suprised if we see 1-2 of the youngsters in the 18 for this, there were plenty missing for the game the other day who will clearly have been training with the main squad and I think the extra energy will see some of them get a look in over the next few weeks.

• In a way, the two defeats have taken away the expectation levels for Smith, so if he can now put together a decent run it'll stand him in good stead.

  Oh for a victory that isn’t nervy! At half time against Preston I was thinking this is easy, will finish 3 or 4 nil. If only we could win comfortably.

  Think this would be a good opportunity to do that Paul.  Not sure we'll see them starting! but we might see a couple of young players on the bench.

• It's just Hourihane in. No surprises.
