Aston Villa v Barnsley - Pre-Match Thread

[chrisw1]

They've not lost in 5, but at the same time they have only one once in 13 and haven't scored a great deal in that time. They did well to hold Barca last week, although I note Real Wolverhampton have only scored 9 in 10 games.

For me I would go with the following;

Johnstone

Hutton
Terry
Chester
Elmo [De Laet if Elmo is not fit, although I suspect Taylor will come back in and Hutton switch to right back]

Jedinak [or Thor if the Jedi is out]

Snodgrass
Hourihane
Grealish
Adomah

Hogan

We need to avoid any slip ups against sides like this here on out to ensure pressure is maintained. Get on the front foot by ensuring we play that higher starting point for the full backs and midfield. Plenty of bodies in and around the box when we go forwards.

Yep.

Frustrating game but 3 valuable points.

These are fast approaching becoming almost must win games now.  Can't see there being too many changes to the side unless there are injuries.

We don’t have many not must win games left because of the 2 bad runs and other fuck ups.

[Reuben]

0-0 draw, Warren Aspinall to come on for a disappointing Malcolm Allen

[Legion]

2-0.

[Dr Butler]

Messy goal in the 4th minute by Chester and Bruce shuts up shop gone 15 minutes by replacing Hogan with Barny.
