Up the villa. Jedi is back but...help us obi-wan kenobi, you are our only hope

[MalcolmP]

No width in midfield or attack , 2 dull non attacking ability full backs  and 2 right sided centre backs. Hmm a Brucie masterstroke.

[UK Redsox]

Must be a big game, they have a giant flag

[Jimbo]

Brace, brace. Gayle's going to get at least a brace.

[Hookeysmith]

Lack of width so play full backs further forward  (Bacuna & Amavi) but no let's use the two worst ones we have in a flat 4.

He may get lucky buts that's what it will be. He does not have a clue

Steve "I don't do tactics" Bruce is certainly living up to the tag

Gunn, Gaker, Gacuna.

What time does the site go into meltdown tonight? What happens?

Please not Bjarni up front, can't he keep out of the way in midfield somewhere?

[Risso]

That Bjarnason has had 4 different positions now.  It's almost like Bruce doesn't know what he's doing.

McCafu has been one of the few attacking threats recently

Gunn, Gaker, Gacuna.

Don't worry, he just needs more time...

[UK Redsox]

Why do players give a thumbs up when a teammate makes a pass that there's no hope of reaching?

[ciggiesnbeer]

How we playing?

How we playing?

Glorious rearguard action for the first three minutes.
