Aston Villa vs Preston North End Pre-Match Thread

Bruce has to try something new today. Playing Gabby just means we play with ten men.

Gamble on RHM. Stick him up top with McCormack behind.

I think RHM is injured but yes, I'd try something a little different today as well. I reckon he'll give Andre Green a start, he has hinted at  it.

Ahh, bugger. I thought I'd seen RHM say something on Twitter about the fact he couldn't wait to play again.

Yep, even so, he needs to mix it up.

The choice between gabby and McCormack to lead the line is a poor one t say the least

I'd reluctantly plump (!) for McCormack but tell green, Lansbury and adomah that they've got to run in behind

Whoever has looked least shit in training gets the third midfield slot

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

I'd go with Tish, Lansbury and Grealish in midfield with Adomah and Green wide right and left and RMC up top despite his poor headed miss last week. With Hourihane likely to come it's time for Grealish to start exerting more influence on games for the full 90mins otherwise he will start to fall down the pecking order. Come on Villa 3 points please!

2-0 Villa


Lansbury
RMC

Johnstone, Amavi, Chester, Elphick and Hutton at the back.

Jedinak and Tshibola sitting. The Green, Lansbury and Adomah around McCormack.

Reckon it'll be a Villa win, but only through a bit of luck, rather than any skill.
A rather uneventful 1-0.

[olaftab]

We really need to win this one to close the gap on the top six so I'm going for a 2-1 win to us.

Very brave Darren Woolley very brave.

[Villafirst]

Robinson or Johnson are bound to score...

[Clampy]

Lansbury and Green start, as does Westwood. No McCormack in the 16 at all.

[Toronto Villa]

Lansbury and Green start, as does Westwood. No McCormack in the 16 at all.

Westwood as usual survives the purge. He must be magnificent in training. Is Ross injured or off?

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Lansbury and Green start, as does Westwood. No McCormack in the 16 at all.

Is he injured?

[VILLA MOLE]

Lansbury and Green start, as does Westwood. No McCormack in the 16 at all.

maybe he is going somewhere ??
