Gabby out ill, Weimann in.

Another bloody virus excuse then

It's quite chilly despite the autumnal watery sunshine.

[Smirker]

Just realised, no Grealish either 

[paulcomben]

On paper, Villa are doomed. Paper is overrated.

Probably in the minority, but I'd prefer him as central striker ahead of Gabby.

Me too. Weimann puts a shift in. Gabby does when he wants to.

[Tuscans]

I predict 1-4.

Can't stand Geoff Shreeves

Niall doesn't watch Villa

[taylorsworkrate]

I really struggle to see where we can get a goal from today.

Have to hope we can soak up a lot of pressure and hit them with a scrawny goal from a free kick/corner

[Smirker]

No Vlaar, Okore, Benteke or Gabby. Not overly positive, all told.

What?

[Matt Collins]

Probably in the minority, but I'd prefer him as central striker ahead of Gabby.

Well we'll get to see him play this number 9 role for the first time today I think. Hope I'm wrong but I just don't think he can do it. He's not big or technical or fast enough. And our passing isn't good enough into him

Let's hope I'm wrong

Might have been a good time to give Bent a start actually.

Hey, would you look at that, apparently I can't read. Feeling a bit happier now!

[FrankyH]

Who has been promoted to the bench ?

[Somniloquism]

Jack.

[PeterWithesShin]

Looks a poor crowd.

[olaftab]

Yes VP is fairly empty today.
