Villa to edge it 2-1

[villan from luton]

Ayew will play up front I think, Bacuna pushes up to wing and De Last at right back. Draw at the very least. 1-1.

Agree with it being bacuna pushing up, with Jedinak in the middle ahead of Gardner and Ayew up front, but 2-0 Villa for me

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I just really hope Kozak doesn't play

[robbo1874]

I think Kozak needs to be given a chance

[Ron Manager]

I suspect we will go with:

Gollini

Cissokho, Chester, Elphick, De Laet

Grealish, Jedinak, Westwood, Bacuna

Ayew & McCormack

I think that is the most likely selection with Amavi coming on late.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

I think Kozak needs to be given a chance

and me just not as a footballer

bugger me how many chances are we meant to give players who are blatently not good enough?

[Clampy]

I think Kozak needs to be given a chance

He's obviously a decent finisher who's clever at being in the right place at the right time I wonder if he'll ever properly recover from those injuries.

[brian green]

I don't think Kozak has recovered fully but I suspect it is a mental thing.  His break was a very bad one but then to have to have it surgically rebroken and reset must have taken a toll on him.  He plays like his heart is not in the game.  Not good to see in a player.

[PaulWinch again]

We're developing nicely, but really need a win today.

Kozak looked plenty good enough before the injuries.

Personally though I'd bring Green in and play either McCormack or Ayew upfront.

[Matt Collins]

Think it has to be ayew. Don't think McCormack can play no 9

But I'd play bacuna midfield, especially away from home. Grealish and green either side of a four man midfield is too exposed for me at the moment

Maybe once Jedinak and Tshibola get their feet under the table properly they can provide enough cover

[Concrete John]

I think he can play upfront and certainly has goals in him, but not as a traditional number 9.

I'd keep the 4231 formation and bring Grealish central if we push McCormack further forward.

[LukeJames]

We've dominated the last two games for long periods but only got 2 points to show for it, time to get points on the board now.

[cdbearsfan]

0-7. Fuck the fuckers.
