So is that Bennett in midfield? And baker ahead of Clark?

That team looks shit, I have to say.

Maybe Clark has a minor knock so not risking him from the start? Especially with Ron's issues.
My guess is that it's specifically to deal with Kenwyne Jones's height.

Things must be bad if Villa are setting up to desk specifically with Kenwyne Jones.

100% agree. We should be cupboarding him.

We've played a straight 442 a few times under lambert and every time has been awful as far as I can remember. Though it looked good twice when we changed to 442 v west ham.

But our away formation was working. We played brilliantly v Liverpool and then have played a different way in the subsequent two away games. And played the same way at home v west ham when it always looked likely to be the wrong choice

I just don't get it. Feel free to rub my nose in it if I've got this wrong by the end of the game!

For an attacker I always thought he was a little bit stationery really.

Have the players been throwing darts at a pic of rat faced Ole, who refused to join our mighty club but agreed to join the bluebirds no redbirds er we just shamelessly take Tan's money and do his wacky things.

I for some reason really want Bennett to succeed, I hope he has free reign on the wing rather than worrying about Cardiff.

Yes, same here, induces exactly the same feelings in me. I felt a bit sorry for him last season though he did some idiotic things on occasions
