It gives elmo licence to get forward I am not sure Taylor is a wing back ???

I thought that Wales play with wing backs

I don't get this formation. Has Green ever played anywhere other than on the wing?

And Samba?! Jesus wept.

I hope that doesn't turn into a 541, we need to play for the win and I'm not sure why you'd change from a system that's given 8 in 2.

The formation matters less than our attitude. We have to play to win. We have keep the ball, move into open spaces and pass it, not lump it long. We have more than enough to win the game.

Ok about to take a 2 hour flight. I'll expect by the time I land we've scored 4 times. Don't let me down Villa!!

Why fuck about, just go with the Norwich side.

Is anyone in any doubt about how this is going to pan out?

Bristol have some nippy players so I hope Bruce has his machine gun in the dugout to stem that problem.

Wasn't Green a striker originally ?

Yes let's turn him back into that from the very effective player we saw on Tuesday night.
