Our Heroes v Bristol City Pre-Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Is Hourihane back for this one ? (was he injured or banned on Sat?)

If so, I'd go with the same lineup apart from Hourihane replacing knucklehead Bacuna and possibly Jack for Albert

[peter w]

This is it. The start if the roll. 2-1 them.

[CJ]

They're 4th from bottom and ended up drawing at Newcastle after being 2-0 up after 20 minutes so their confidence may be a bit shot.  Hopefully Hourihane will have got over his dead leg and can replace Bacuna in midfield. We need another win so we'll probably draw.

Always tricky trying to second guess Bruce when it comes to team selections.  Something out of left field seems to happen most games.  If he suddenly and randomly reverted to 352 and had Elphick back in I wouldn't be surprised any more.  However, on the basis that our heroes finally won a game on Saturday I suspect he will show faith with most and start with something resembling the Derby starting line up.  Hourihane back in after recovering from his dead leg, and Jack back in for either Adomah or Green, neither of whom shone v Derby.  I'll go for Green standing down, so:

              Johnstone

Hutton  Chester  Baker  Taylor
         
               Jedinak

    Hourihane    Lansbury

Adomah    Kodjia      Grealish

Subs Bree Gardner Elphick Green Amavi + 2

Surely enough there to find a way past Bristol City

[QuintonVilla]

3-3

[Richard E]

A morale boosting 3-0 win. Lansbury will break his duck and Bristol City will be lucky to get nil.

[Tony Erdington]

we get the early goal, and it will be Glorious,

we don't , our crowd gets wanky and we will struggle.

Villa 5 bristo ooooooooooooo

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

[VinnieChase84]

Hope CH is back for this. Same team as yesterday bar bacuna. I'd keep Hutton as he doesn't deserve to lose his place at the minute

[UK Redsox]

We'll shit 'em. Us 2 Wurzels 0

In fairness Pete and Tommy are getting on a bit now, so they're not as quick around the park as they used to be. I was at school with John the drummer's daughter and he was at school at the same time as UKR Sr, so he must be pushing 80

City to get a thumping after the team finally gels over a game of bowling on Sunday evening. Following this, we go on a 65 game winning run straight through the Play-Off final, Premier League title, European Cup and Super Cup.

You heard it here first.

Love it! My kind is positivity 👏 ..... you might want to place a small bet at extremely gargantuan odds ?

[ironmaidenmania]

Either 1-0 or 2-1 to villa with a terrible last ten minutes.

[Clark W Griswold]

As unchanged as we can possibly be after the win, so probably just Hourahane for Bacuna.

1-1

City to get a thumping after the team finally gels over a game of bowling on Sunday evening.

Our strokers to become strikers.

[The Edge]

Someone's due a good hiding. 5-0 villa. Now,where's my tin hat?
