I have no opinion or thoughts on the team lineup, formation or plan for tonight.
We have been watching and suffering for long enough to just think, fuck it, let's see what happens this time, with this particular lot.

It might be a 3 in midfield with Kodjia wide in a 451.

Ayew might still not be 100% either and only have 20 minutes in him, took a knock away with Ghana.

I'm currently stood outside the away end thinking that walking straight back to the car might be the best move

We might think it but we never do it.

It is not what I expected, but I am behind SB and the team!

Come on Villa!

A bit why I am trying to see the bright side.  We have picked line ups we are happy with and lost, so fuck it, see what Bruce has been working on.

well at least he knows Westwood is shit and Im quite happy RMc has been dropped but was expecting Ayew to replace him . I havent a problem with Baker as Boon as been shite , not sure how Aly gets a start .

How do we fail to have "do you think playing two shit midfielders as our entire midfield is a good idea?" as one of the interview questions?

The only thing I can think of that justifies that line up is maybe Bruce wants to get a decent look at all of his options in a match.

It's the `everyone gets a clean slate' phase of team selection. That's all i can think.

Yes it's shaping in to a Steve Bruce team.

Well I thought our line up looked brilliant against Wolves, as I did many times last season once Timmy the Twat left.  I'm always way off the mark so maybe that line up tonight it might surprise me?
Proably not. I'm going 3-1 to them.
