Aston Villa vs Preston North End Match Thread

[brian green]

Scrabbling or scrambling is the word for Bruce.  Never smooth.  Bump and grind from August to May.

[CT Villan]

Pathetic...no intensity, or passion, or invention, or technique and Bruce has screwed up the selection too.

[pooligan]

We concede from a corner yet again .It's got to the point where i dread us conceding a corner

[garyshawsknee]

Didnt really think we needed Jedi at home , should have put thor back there where he looks good and wank everywhere else

Has Lansbury fecked Bruce's daughter ?

Had he played Thor where he did well, brought in O'Hare for Jack the system stays the same which suits Hogan, would only have to think of a change for Albert, maybe Grabban.

Grabban on for Jedi bjork going back to defensive slot.

Teams like Preston should be shitting themselves when they come to Villa park...Like I say...should be

10.30 here, do I drink more wine and follow this thread.
Wake up feeling shit ?

Go to bed and wake up at 1.00 wondering about the score, get up and check.
Depending on the score struggle to go back to sleep.

Think I will have one more glass and give it 10 more Mins.

I'd kill for some bump and grind 

[JUAN PABLO]

hogan needs support I know that , just hope Bruce does

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking win Villa.

[oldtimernow]

Little in the way of any creativity, Onomah and Barney are duplicating each other, Hourihane giving a good impression of being a poor Ashley Westwood.Hogan totally not suited to long punts from the back.

Ref is letting stuff go then pulling up for weird stuff.

Preston happy to dive and moan at ref, can see Barney or Jedinak sent off if Hutton doesn't do someone

[PeterWithesShin]

We've looked like the early December Villa again. Poor so far.  At least it's not too cold. About the only positive so far.

I don't think there's any need to wonder about the score. Unless things dramatically change in the 2nd half we ain't scoring a goal tonight

[KevinGage]

We look devoid of attacking intent without Grealish and Albert.

One we could probably work around.  Two is too much.

Needs a big second half.

[PaulWinch again]

Hogan thrived on width and smart play. Why ditch Elmo?
