Preston North End v Aston Villa Match Thread

I can see Boon,  the pointy one and the bearded one all looking confused as Preston stroll through the middle in the 90th minute to equalise. 

[Matt C]

Odd selection. Again.

Maybe instead of bringing Westwood on to close out the game he'll bring on Tshibola. RDM will then be heralded as a genius.

or as a totally off the wall thought, start your best team, have a game plan, a vague idea of in game tactics and coaching then you wouldnt have to see the game out

[Lobsterboy]

Without seeming overly negative that line up looks fucking rubbish

Bunn, Hutton and Westwood? If they are the answer I am struggling to work out the question...

Hoping RDM is a tactical genius and is going to prove me wrong #UTV

[villadelph]

We need to score 3 goals today.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that eh? Westwood? I can't stand him. However, at least we have a strong bench today.

First time I'm pissed off with the match before it's even started

[aj2k77]

So Gollini dropped because he's not up to an arial bombardment and two in the middle again with our best midfielder on the bench. Crock of shit. Grealish was very poor midweek, doesnt deserve his place either.

[Matt Collins]

It's not inspiring confidence. But many of us have wanted more of a 433 and you can't do that with McCormack. Whether jack can really do that - or will be asked to do that -  I'm less sure

[achilles]

Two in midfield doesn't work that has been proved so why not try it again so we can prove that it DOESN'T bloody work again!

[KevinGage]

I'm genuinely starting to wonder whether he just doesn't like the job and wants to get sacked for the compo.

Been wondering that for the past few games.

Might even go as far back as the owner tweeting our transfer business in the summer. Perhaps he feels the role doesn't match the job description.

[villadelph]

I do not see Jedinak and Westwood pairing well enough to get forward and facilitate goals.

[PeterWithesShin]

I assume Golli and Bacuna are injured. It's a bit of an Eric Black style starting 11.

See that thing disappearing into the distance? That's my confidence we'll win today that is.

[aj2k77]

Anyone recall Bunn ever making a good save? He's really shit. 6 of last seasons mentally weak, invincibles in that line up.

[Ozzjim]

Hutton I can understand just about.  But fuck me how McCormack is not in the side instead of Grealish I am a bit perplexed by. He's our most creative player and best finisher, should start.  So should Tshibola if fit.  Steer is also better than fucking Bunn. Grrrr. I keep thinking yes give RDM time etc then he does things that remind me of Sherwood.  I really hope Ayew starts closer to Kodjia and Grealish plays wide. 

And Westwood. Fuck me.
