Nice strating XI , but the bench looks shit.

How does it compare to Forest's though? Which of these would you rather be on our bench instead of theirs Lichaj, Mancienne, Osborn, Clough, Carayol, Henderson, Cummings. And remember how many players we have to come back into our squad.

From what we have at our disposal, the bench looks shit.

So it is better than the team we're playing and we have a number of players to come back that are currently unavailable. I bet they're weren't many, if any, benches in the division today that were better. Just because by our standards of the past it's crap, doesn't mean it is for where we, sadly, currently are.

Looks a bit too attacking for me.  Only Whelan can hold (naturally).  Does Adomah play more narrowly in this formation?

Looks too attacking? Good better than a defensive set up at home.

[Monty]

I think it's basically defensive as it's not meant to keep the ball, but sit in and look to break.

[Villa75]

We have to win just to keep the status quo with the top 2!

When is it Cardiff are supposed to start sliding down the table?

[Jimbo]

We're going to bumverise them.

[beness]

Just get the win!!

[Nelly]

Come on Villa!

[Sexual Ealing]

Are there any PMs with any of those links? I'd be most grateful for one.

[Martyn Smith]

Got a feeling this will be pivotal. Win and we can start talking promotion prospects. Don't and it might set us too far back.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Didn't Whelan play midweek?

[Martyn Smith]

Good presence Davis

[Boz]

We've had this squad of players for a while, one of the most expensive in this league and we should be in the top 6. It's the manager's style of play that's the problem and his regular changing the team around.

Hopefully with today's team he's learnt a lesson from our previous league game and we can expect another 3 or 4 goals.

Disappointing to see so many empty seats. Come on Villa!
