Rotherham United v Our Heroes Pre-Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

According to the Brum Mail Brucey is bringing back Richards tomorrow and sees his place at centre back. I know I'm about to get slated for this but if Brucey can get a tune out of Richards I say why not? We're paying his wages and crying out for a leader at the back. Bruce  praised his attitude since he arrived. Let bygones be bygones I say it's worth a shot.....Fire away

Because , even if you remove the attitude problem, he is a not a good football player.

Richards has 13 England caps....so is clearly a good player. Injuries have robbed him the last couple of years. Maybe a renaissance under Bruce??

He's a busted flush. Both he and Gabby should have been paid to fuck off last summer. But hey, why wait, they could be just fucked off now! However, every fucking manager that comes to this factory of sadness reckons they are the one that will get a tune out of these fucking wastrels.

[ASHTONVILLA]

The only role Richards should have at the Villa is grazing the pitch.

If Bruce picks him then I hope he gets his P45 at half time.

Sadly I have seen zero evidence of his ability during his time with us. Can anyone here honestly say they have? He has just been awful. Bruce just needs to look at the tapes of him playing for us.

He got those 13 England caps around the time he was the next big thing at Citeh.

He had the physical attributes, so the feeling was that the other things - positioning, reading the game and general awareness- might come in time.

They never did. Hutton and Cissoko were highly rated in their early 20s too. We know how they turned out.

Leading lights such as Andy Hinchcliffe, Geoff Thomas, Zat Knight, Gabby and Nicky Shorey have all gained international recognition somehow. Playing for In ger Lund isn't all it's cracked up to be either.

Don't fergit Warnock and Heskey.

All decent players in their time, to all but the jaundiced eye.

Have to share you misgivings about Micah, though.

[Dazvillain]

Starting with last 11 picked plus bench , taking out injuries and suspensions , I think it will be very likely that we play 3 at the back with Hutton and TAYLOR wing backs. Just not enough midfield / singer / striker options at moment ..... I'd take a few more scrappy wins however we get them

[wince]

Had dream last night it was 0-3 by half time. 0-5 full time. I will accept any bets or donations!

[aj2k77]

5 at the back against Rotherham?

[Steve67]

Bruce will not change the formation again. Richards will be on the bench at best. Hourihane in for Bacuna, that's it. No banana skin please Villa.

[aj2k77]

Hourihane
Jedinak
Lansbury
Adomah
Grealish
Kodjia

That's what I expect.

[Clampy]

I reckon we'll win. It might not be the pasting people think we're going to give them so i'll go with 2-0.

[Axl Rose]

5-1 Villa. Kodjia with four.

He got a tune out of T Bramble, so why not...
