               Given
Cuellar  Dunne  Collins  Warnock

                 Petrov
Albrighton                 N'Zogbia

         Ireland       Gabby

                   Bent

Are you having a giraffe?

Exactly my thoughts!

It's a 4-5-1 that will actually allow us to advance the ball.

I don't think there's enough people in that side willing to track back & defend. Unless you'd be happy to win 5-4?

[N'ZMAV]

I'd go with


Given

Hutton
Collins
Dunne
Clark

Petrov
Gardner

N'Zogbia
Ireland
Agbonlahor

Bent

[Duncan Shaw]

Well having watched the second half of that load of turd last night, if we can't beat this load os shit then we might as well give up! 4-0 Villa, get one early and go on the rampage!

[PaulTheVillan]

They were fucking awful last night.

Fletcher is their only threat at the moment, he is a good player. (Bents replacement )

[N'ZMAV]

I'd have Fletcher if we could. £10mil would get him.

Robbie Keane to score against his first boy-hood-heroes?

Then to rip his Villa shirt off and underneath is a WBA shirt, who he's always supported since he was a kid.

That sort of logic flies out of the window when we are talking Aston Villa. Watch Wolves go two up in the first ten minutes through two scintillating moves...

[N'ZMAV]

or 2 corners

Impossible with a team of Warnocks.  Wolves based on that performance are really atrocious.  How they managed a draw at Arsenal is beyond me.

[Rick_avfc]

Didn't Wolves put out a slightly weakened team yesterday?  Im still not taking this game for granted as some people are saying.  Playing in a cup game is different to a league game.  We're not exactly lighting up the prem with our lacklustre performances now are we?

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I'd go with

Hutton
Collins
Dunne

Petrov
Gardner

N'Zogbia
Ireland
Agbonlahor

Bent

That is the team i would pick. Hope Mcleish drops Warnock. He is creating a lack of confidence in the team Gardner is now "over due" a game .....

That's my entire strategy right there. I don't care how we win, I want three points. Sort of like a 'Moneyball' approach. Defense doesn't score you goals. And by putting out the players with the highest chances of creating/scoring a goal it would allow us to essentially win the game, without playing anyone out of their preferred position.

I want to win. I don't care if it's 1-0, 3-2, or 8-7.

[Nastylee]

Yes, in a dream world but that team's just as likely to lose 4-1 as win 3-2.

Back in the real world, don't think their performance in the cup can be used to gauge this fixture. A tight game but one I expect us to get at least a point from. Villa 2-1.

Well, seeing as they had 10 changes vs sha I don't think we can take much from that match. They're goal is obviously prem survival.

attack, alex attack.

[VancouverLion]

I have a feeling he will start Keane in this one, don't ask me why.
No clue what the formation will be but I'm going for a win 1-2 Bent and Gabby,

Come on you Villa boys!!!!
