Yep I'm going for 4-3-3 also on second look. I expect Whelan to sit in front of the back four, Adomah and Hourihane in front. Kodjia left, Snodgrass right.

Surely Snodgrass central and Adomah wide?

Has Adomah ever played centrally for anyone before?

Us, in whatever desperate game it was at Villa Park (I cant remember who we were playing) where he subbed our only striker and moved Adomah in to an ever so slightly advanced central midfield position in a 5-5-0 formation.

That is 442 with Elmo at right back and Adomah on the left I would reckon. If Bree and De Laet are behind Elmo in the right back pecking order then that's a huge issue.

Yes slightly mental. I really rate Bree.

I worry quite strongly about our ability to keep the ball with that central midfield. Ah well, here's hoping.

Who the hell knows Dave? Adomah was at RB at one point the other night.

Looks like a decent enough selection. Should be fun!

The pace of Whelan will tear Barnsley apart.

I've just been watching the worst Lydney RFC team in my lifetime, now it's time to suffer with the Villa.

I sometimes wish that the didn't like sport
