Aston Villa v Bristol City - Match Thread

[Tuscans]

With all the ins and outs we still don't have a very good "footballing" squad when you start going through them all.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Elphick as emergency striker?

[Clampy]

Very Bruce. An ugly win seems on the cards.

Other than put Grealish in, what else could he have done?

[markeeeebeeee2005]

I would imagine Hourihane is still slightly crocked.

With no striker on the bench, I am starting to question why we didn't hold on to Gestede until the end of the season. I suppose the money was too good to turn down. What's happened to the Russian?

Don't think it will be streamed anywhere, as it's not on tv. Is it on the radio at all?

[clash city rocker]

Elphick as emergency striker !!!! If it does happen that's the end of football as we know it.

[brian green]

Did I suggest he should have done anything else?

[oswald funkletrumpet]

With gardner and jedi we are going to be sitting way too deep

Onwards and upwards

[PaulTheVillan]

Where is RHM?

[PaulWinch again]

 Christ that is not a team set up to put a team to the sword. Never the less win please Villa.

[garyshawsknee]

Isn't RHM just getting back from injury ? Surely worth putting young Davis on the bench as cover.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Is Davis a good prospect? I know absolutely zero about him.

[garyshawsknee]

Me too, must be worth a shout though, take a defender off the bench for a forward.

[Marton]

That would probably solve our problem of getting players into our attacking box...if Tommy starts there he hasn't pace enough to ever make it out of the area....

I mis-read your post to infer that it was a 'Very Bruce' like team. Apologies for the confusion.

[Ian.]

We won't need another striker as Kodjia will be on fire tonight.

Come on Villa!!
