[Legion]

Available Tuesday evening.

Setting  off for VP now. A must win match that I have no doubt we will win. PL  should  select the strongest team available.

We're not at home to Mr Cock Up.

[Karl Bridges]

Interesting team.

VILLA: Guzan, Lichaj, Lowton, Baker, Stevens, Bannan, Ireland, Herd, Delph, Weimann, Bent [c]. Subs: Given, N’Zogbia, Holman, Delfouneso, Johnson, Burke, Williams.

That team should be enough to get the job done.  I'd have stuck Ron in though to work on his partnership with Baker.  Who's in central defence, Lichaj?

[Toronto Villa]

is that collectively the youngest back 4 to ever start a senior game for us?

Lowton can play there so I imagine he's partnering Baker.

he must love N'Zog,  is he the only player to have started every game ?

Shop window?

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

4-3-3? And not a 4-5-1 that we normally play when people talk about 4-3-3.

I think he is desperately trying to find the NZogbia that we saw at Wigan.

Lowton and Baker centre back, Lichaz right and Stevens left back.

Interesting to see how the midfield line up.

people actually watching him play probably isnt the best way of selling him

No width at all in that side. I fear a long night.
