Aston Villa v Blackpool Match Thread.

[Axl Rose]

Westwood back. I'm not his greatest fan, but I'm wondering if we've missed him at all.

Cleverley is probably playing due to an agreement of some sort with Man Utd that he must play(does that sort of thing exist, or is it all in my mind?)

Villa to win 2-1

That's a pretty decent looking side to be fair. I would expect with the midfield as it is that someone, probably Cleverley, needs to be breaking beyond Benteke into the box. I think Cole should hopefully dictate things and Grealish will drift.

Lets see if we can create more for Benteke with Cole and Grealish, two players with a bit of nous and comfortable on the ball.

I'm not Westwoods biggest fan but I think we probably have missed him, in as much as he's better than Cleverley and Bacuna (in CM).

[Matt Collins]

Some much needed creativity but lacking a bit of pace and penetration. Would have dropped one of the midfielders for a fwd

Can see us doing a lot of passing in front of them today, especially if Benteke doesn't run in behind them a fair bit   

[paulcomben]

One striker?! Can't we get Nat to switch sides and play up front with Chris? He would feel lich more comfortable playing in claret and blue at VP.

4231 though, innit.

[DaveD]

That's the most balanced side we've put out all season for me. Hoping Joe Cole can last the distance.

Any highlights on TV tonight for this?

QPR making us look good at this stage last season.

MOTD BBC1 10.30.

Would have Bacuna in for Cleverly or Westwood. Better corners/free-kicks/goal-threat. Otherwise glad we're taking it seriously.

[timeoutbigbar]

It's the side I'd have picked. 

Is it on the ol' wireless?

Cheers sir.

[exigo]

Gabby injured?

His last instagram says ongoing hamstring injury. Which begs the question, what does he have to do to get dropped in the league games?

It's on Radio WM but not the online version and it's on the official site but you need to be a paid up member.
