Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Here we go boys and girls. The pursuit of 8 straight wins starts this afternoon at Craven Cottage. Will be a tough game. Real shame that Jack and Albert didn't make it.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

WTF is that?

[Toronto Villa]

Disappointed that Andre Green fails to make the bench again.

[PaulWinch again]

No Jack or Albert? That's a blow. This is a really tough game, come on Villa I feel any points here would be a result.

[Dave]

Looks unnecessarily defensive to me. Only three players that you'd describe as attackers, including Hourihane.

[Toronto Villa]

WTF is that?

4-5-1 of sorts I think. I'm trying to work it out myself. Thor isn't playing in a defensive role, so maybe he's taken up the Jack role, just behind Hogan?

[Legion]

Both out injured?

[SoccerHQ]

Disappointed that Andre Green fails to make the bench again.

He hasn't made the 18 since the Peterbrough game. No idea what's up.

Think this will be a tough 90 minutes, would be very happy with a point. Limited attacking potential if Snodgrass isn't on it.

This is similar 11 to what we put out v Posh.

4-2-3-1 Barney out left?

[hipkiss92]

Surely Callum O’hare would be the like for like replacement for grealish?

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Im guessing axel at RB, Elmo pushing up and Snoddy playing behind Hogan. Thor on the left.

[kippaxvilla2]

It’s Villa isn’t it.  If there’s doubts over both then both will be out you can guarantee it.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Three defensive midfielders in the team with another two on the bench. As you say, Dave, looks unnecessarily defensive.

[Risso]

Oh god.  It's going to be a Brentford type performance I fear.

[Toronto Villa]

Both out injured?

yep. Big blow for us and conversely a big boost for Fulham
