Aston Villa vs Rotherham United Pre-Match Thread

The tried and trusted Westwood in mid field with the tried and trusted Bacuna at right back im assuming ?

Great. Cant wait.

Remind me again, what position are YOUR Grealish, Green and Ayew playing in ?

Is it a front four with McCormack ?

Is your line up 4-2-4 ?

Almost any Championship side would walk through your team.

Oh for heaven's sake, you posted a team and someone didn't like it, it's the way a forum works. Difference of opinion i believe it's called.

Yes, to be successful we need your experimental 3-6-1 formation that all the successful managers use.

Scappy 1-0 win with goal in last 10 minutes.

I'd certainly take that, we just need a win by any means.

It would stand more of a chance than a 4-2-4 which includes Bacuna and Westwood

For Heavens Sake.

Slow down Margaret.

I've picked the best sides I think we have. It's a 433 with licence for the front three to drift and move about as I think Rotherham will sit very deep.

I'd rather have Bacuna at full back than Hutton and I think Westwood is more than adequate at this level.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Strange feeling this.

Beleiving and hoping we can nick a league win at home against ... Rotherham.

Anyway, I think we will win and some nerves will be settled at the club.

Lose and... well I dont know.

I go with that Ads team but would definitely give RH-M at least half an hour for McCormack to use his pace and energy as Rotherham tire. No Amavi style 88th minute substitutions.

Me too, although I don't think he'll make the bench unfortunately.

Better bring the pitch in a bit.

Shame, I really like RHM.  When you are feeling low, an energetic, run-until-he-drops snappy little Jack Russell of a player raises morale better than a loper or a jogger.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Good point about RHM. Its a nice change to see someone bust a gut for us when he gets a chance.

[brian green]

Yes, for too long we have slow foxtrotted around the opposition penalty area where we need to wriggle and burrow and toe end goals in.  RH-M looks to be that man.  Put another way, Gestede can only score one way.  Rushian looks able to get them from anything - off his knee, off his arse any way so long as the ball goes in the net.

Wears a floppy hat and is pretty good at painting ?

[cheltenhamlion]

I went for a blindly optimistic 2-1 win.

Villa win!
