Aston Villa v Barnsley - Pre Match Thread

[TaxDodger]

I'd go;

                         Johnstone

Bacuna       Chester       Baker      Amavi

                         Gardner

               Hourihane    Lansbury

Kodja                                           Adomah

                          Hogan


Bunn, Taylor, Hutton, Elphick, Bjarnason, Grealish, Davis


This is assuming Jedinak, Bree and Hepburn-Murphy are injured.

              Johnstone

Bree  Chester Baker  Amavi

              Jedinak/Gardner

    Hourihane      Bjarnason
                Lansbury

   Kodjia            Hogan

Yep.

[VancouverLion]

              Johnstone

Bree  Chester Baker  Amavi

              Jedinak/Gardner

    Hourihane      Bjarnason
                Lansbury

   Kodjia            Hogan

Yep.

This for me too. Get Lansbury further forward, he's not a DCM.

[VancouverLion]

1-0 Hogan, 76 min.

[UK Redsox]

After his passing performance against Ipswich, I might play Bakerbauer as a sweeper

[Ads]

I'd play Baker as left winger.

[QuintonVilla]

0-1
Hourihane own goal, 98th minute.

With our away record? And the inane ability of finding a way to lose? I'm growing tired of this whole situation.

We're at home.

Doh - that'll teach me to read the wrong way round. In that case with our new found home knack of losing I'll upgrade to a draw. Maybe we'll convert the chances and it'll be a good win - maybe not.

My ticket arrived yesterday's post, i've received death threats that were less depressing to open.

[Des Little]

We're going to rip these yorkies a new one. Villa 4 Tykes 0. Let's rumble.

[Toronto Villa]

It's all going to come together and just like against Forest when Lansbury went mad and scored a hattrick, Hourihane to do likewise and bag 4 in a 5-0 win. All assisted by Bree.

That's more like it ! I'm with you , how often when we have the smallest band of die hards do we get a great time with the team delivering ? Wifey knows I love her and I've given her the red roses early , this is the start of our 16 match unbeaten run !

[Skerra]

Des and Toronto, so we are going to give someone a real hiding then!!!! In our dreams maybe.

Based on the previous excitement-only-to-be-kicked-in-the-nuts time and again this season it's a
2-0 defeat with the catcalls trying to be deafening but there is only 20,000 there.

Bruce can't shamefacedly change the 5-3-2 yet because he needs it still for the barcodes away to keep it damage limitation. Thusly expect the change v rams. By then the top end of the division is played out and we're just seeing out games as our obligation, not quite relegated in bottom 8.

We're not going to blood Amavi as LM simply because if he beds in, his replacement is going to take that much longer when he buggers off as he won't have another season in the 2nd tier.

its another summer of transition to completely rid us of the wasters from the past 5 years.

I object to this throw money at the problem bollucks - we have had shit players for too long and naturally had to replace them. Otherwise what's the alternative- polish the turds?!

Clemence and Calderwood - we've been shitter since these 2 have come in, what the fuck is going on???!!!

I'm saying to my kids that honestly no more than 7 years ago we played regularly good football and won. We scored in the first half and closed the game out. We scored from corners. We won away. Draws against the sky wankfest outfits was sometimes 2 points dropped for us.

I despair at where we find ourselves in 2017. Depressed.

Skerra I'd get yourself to the bookies tomorrow and you can thank me for safeguarding your financial future with a pint.
