Aston Villa v QPR - Pre Match Thread

[supertom]

Suppose it depends on Hogan's fitness, but I would go back to the 4-3-3 formation tomorrow with the following team:

                      Johnstone

Hutton      Chester      Baker     Taylor

                       Jedinak

           Lansbury        Hourihane

Adomah            Kodjia               Amavi

 Johnstone

Hutton      Chester      Baker     Taylor

                       Jedinak

 Adomah         Lansbury*        Hourihane

                             Grealish
           
              Kodjia 

I would like to see this   


*Is Lansbury suspended for his booking on Sat - or have we reached the amnesty?         

My only concern with that formation would be Johnstone being beaten too easily by not standing in his goal.

Maybe Brad Guzan left his training manual behind.

We're well past the point of suspensions for 10 bookings. Now it is 15.

Bacuna is back / available having served his 6 games.
Sub bench probably.

Grealish needs a run out too.

[Legion]

2-0

[cheltenhamlion]

Home win.

[Leicester_Villian]

Surely Andre Green is way above Grealish now and he should start tomorrow down the left - rest of team same

Afraid Jack needs to move on in the summer as I can't see him reaching the expectations at VP - the only question is what is the fee ........ I can't see us getting anywhere near what people might expect

That made me laugh, RussellC - very good!!

Would be nice to put the half-arsed manager who used to be famous in his place, but their form is pretty good at the minute so I'm going for a draw.

I'm more worried about getting home after the game - looks like the M6 north is due to be closed again at Junction 7, so to get to the M5 I may have to go via the Soho Road. Bandit country.

Stay home if you are so worried about it.

No need mate.

Why sell him if we'd have to accept a fee below expectations?  He's not had the season we all hoped but I just don't see the point in selling him right now.

I think the issue is why you would refer to the Soho Rd as 'bandit country'?

Jimmy Danger first goal and a 2-0 home win. Send me a postcard from your Caribbean cruise that you'll pay for with your winnings.

I live in Winson Green and Soho Road is a rough area, I think that's generally accepted. Versus somewhere like Sutton, for instance. I'm not sure why you'd make more of this post than you have to?

Villa 2-0, by the way.

It seems strange that someone would make an issue of hoping they can drive down Soho Road unscathed. I've driven, walked and waited for a bus there after the match hundreds of times without a problem and I've never heard of anyone doing the same being held up by bandits.  In fact, I've always felt safer there than in a lot of supposedly better areas.

I just think the comment "stay at home if your so worried about it" was uncalled for. Personally I live in Nechells so I do know about rough areas lol. I'm going 3-1 villa. Can't make it myself so that should guarantee a Villa win

[PeterWithe]

Wouldn't the 'bandit country' comment about Soho Rd be more likely that another, lesser team play on it? Kind of.
