[andyh]

Oops my team for the Bees:

Not Gollini

NotHutton - Chester - Baker - Amavi

NotBacuna -NotWestwood -NotGardner

Adomah -Kodija -NotFlabby

Friggin brilliant, ain't it?

[PeterWithesShin]

Them 1-4 Us. We start our run of 22 consecutive wins to end the season.

[Nelly]

We've just signed some exciting, energetic, footballing midfielders; we might actually win away.

[Deano's Mullet]

2-2

[SoccerHQ]

Kodjia is back isn't he for this?

1-2 win.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Only found out that this match is on Sky TV today, so we can see how our new players get on.

I'll go 1-1.

[Lobsterboy]

I've gone for a 1-1 draw and hoping to see us line up as follows:

Johnstone, Bree, Baker, Chester, Amavi, Jedinak, Lansbury, Hourihane, Adomah, Kodjia, Green

Subs - Bunn, Hutton, Elphick, Bacuna, Grealish, Bjarnason, Agbonlahor

It better not be on Sky TV today, I'm going to Brentford next Tuesday

-----------Lansbury-------Hourahane------

-------------------Kodjia--------------------

Subs
Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Tshibola, Ayew, Grealish,
Agbonlahor.

If it's not going well and we need to turn it around, bring on
Ayew and Grealish for Jedinak and Adomah with Bjarneson moving
to Jedinaks position.

Really like the look of that team and the options on the bench although I fancy this also

I can't wait.  Not expecting miracles overnight, but seeing a midfield make the odd run into space, or create a chance for the forwards is quite an exciting prospect.  If I never see Ashley Westwood in a Villa shirt again, it will be too soon.

[Leicester_Villian]

Cant see Grealish being in the starting line up unless we need a conductor ......... afraid he has become all arm waving and little end product ..... won't surprise me if he is not even on the bench.
Green was more of a threat against Preston
Jack needs to get his act together and quickly otherwise he will not be part of this new look team

[Legion]

0-4 away win.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Bunn; Bacuna, Richards, Elphick, Hutton; Jedinak, Tshibola, Westwood, Gardner; McCormack, Agbonlahor.

4-0 win.

This is what I would go for long term...probably a bit early to throw them all in but then again..why not, it's not like we've been winning and all the players are up to speed having being playing...

[cheltenhamlion]

A big and very comfortable away win.
