Brentford vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Who is going to provide the service for Hogan, it won't be Grealish as he will be desperately dropping deeper and deeper in search of the ball!
It will be hoof ball again and hope to nick a result!

This is the chance Hogan’s been waiting for, especially with Grealish just behind him. Let’s hope we play the ball to his feet.

Aye, agree with this. Time to shine for Hogan. Hopefully he does and is the player we hoped for.

Actually I quite like the line up overall. Which is the kiss of death as I am always wrong.

Let’s see how we start the game. If we start whacking long balls up to him it will be shit all round. If we try and keep possession and pass it through to him we have a chance. Bruce has failed massively every time he’s picked Hogan to find the best way to use him. Not saying Hogan hasn’t been at fault too, but it comes down to the manager. And certainly when it is the manager who spent close to £10m to bring him to the club.

Agree with all that. Lets hope we actually try and play the ball to him today, rather than launch it.

Fast forward to Boxing Day game 2018 and I doubt that any of that team turning out for us will still be with us.  Better ones sold.  Bad ones dumped.  This is some sort of low water mark of player selection.

Just paid £7 to get this on the telly. Hope it’s worth it.

[Risso]

Christ. That must be the oldest and slowest midfield pairing in Championship history.

Don’t worry Risso. Elphick is behind them so all is well.

I predict a delicious one two with Alan Hutton.

Same here.

How predictable that having been hooked on Saturday for being well shite Snodgrass is straight back in the team.

I fear you're right Brian, the better players gone, older players too crap for even us. Maybe the youth will get a chance to flourish.

[kippaxvilla2]

We haven’t even remembered to bring the dark shorts with us.

Just need Hogan up front and we’ll be well set. Oh.

Corner

[Risso]

Ouch. Prince Albert gets a kick to the crown jewels.

[Bad English]

For whom?
