[Gregorys Boy]

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

[tomd2103]

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.

[Richard E]

4-0 Villa. A real feel good performance and evening. Bolton are bobbins.

[eamonn]

Yes, BB is crocked so stop thinking about him.

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.

I certainly hope so mate.

[Risso]

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.
