Aston Villa v Brentford - Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

[Matt Collins]

I've got that feeling too

Team is more or less what I'd have picked - though I'd have had Adomah in the squad and maybe in the team, and not gabby

Bit light on defensive cover but I guess Jedi or Elmo would need to fill
In

[UK Redsox]

No defensive subs

[SoccerHQ]

Johnstone


Bree Terry (C) Chester   Taylor


Onomah  Whelan      Hourihane

Elmo      Davis       Green

Subs: Steer, Snodgrass, Hogan, Gabby, Bjarni, Lansbury, Jedinak.

Surprised Snodgrass isn't starting or Hogan. Elmo on a front three is so underwhelming. Strong bench if the first 11 is shite.

[UK Redsox]

Too slow SHQ 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think he'll go 4-5-1 rather than 4-3-3

[Richard]

Strong bench which is a good sign

[Axl Rose]

Kind of predictable, but continuity all the same.

It'll be interesting to see how Whelen does, as he was under fire from Irish fans after the Georgia game. I think he has done ok so far, but should be replaced when he tires, as he most likely will. Bruce needs to be pro active today.

I predicted 2-2, but am changing to 3-2 to us.

[Monty]

I like that team, which is a bad sign.

[Matt Collins]

If we lose this or even draw I'll be pretty depressed

But for once I fancy us to really bag a few today

Sorry everyone

Ah, didn't see Agbonlahor on there. He's definitely a favourite of Bruce's.

[UK Redsox]

With Jedi back in the squad, hopefully this will be the last start for Whelan

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

[Tuscans]

Just get my microscope out and see who's playing.

Whelan will struggle today I feel. The onus will be on our midfield to get us playing at home and I can't see him adding anything in that regard.

Weird that there are no defensive subs on the bench. Is De Laet injured again? We have by far the strongest squad in the league considering who hasn't even made the 18 today, no excuses.

Big opportunity for James Bree today.
