Johnstone

McCafu
Chester
Beckenbaker
Taylor (but I'm not convinced he's any better than Amavi)

Jedi
Hourihane
Angela

Andrethenotgiant
Kod
Albert


The only way that I'd be OK with seeing three at the back is if Bree is fit to play right wing-back and McCafu moves into a three with Chester and Beckenbaker

If Mad Tom is in the starting lineup, I will be a tad peeved

Repeat of this would be nice. What a night!



I was at this game - my god it seems so long ago now

Points of interest

Their 2nd goal - not often you saw God done like a kipper - especially by some no neck no mark like McMinn

Parkers goal was very Tony Morelyesque

Williams goal was very Kodjia / Daleyesque

Shilton - although saved 2 pens in the game he was very flappy on crosses

Never realised that Ormandroyd played for them

I was in the "family section" of the Baseball Ground that night. The skinhead family, as it turned out. Still not sure how we escaped in one piece.

I'd go with Redsox line up with I suppose a very unexciting bench of Bunn, Elphick (or Richards), Amavi, Bacuna, Gardner, BB and Davis.

Squad down to its bare bones with players injured or sent on loan (12 I think in total).

Derby on a terrible run, coming to play the benevolent Villa. Hope I'm wrong but any time a team is on a crap run, or a striker hasn't scored for several games, it usually ends when they play us. Let this be the time it stops.

Is there a minute's applause to be held at all stadiums at the weekend for Ranieri?

Two poor teams, both managers under the spotlight - it really depends who wants it most.

4-0 Villa

Hopefully they will supply the clappers on the seats for this.
