Hull City vs Aston Villa Match Thread

What was it Bruce saying about the new owners wanting young hungry players. Wonder what they think of that line up.

[Toronto Villa]

The average age of that side is pushing 30

[Rigadon]

Strong in attack, ok in midfield.  Bit patchy at the back though.  Big game for Elphick and Taylor (who I don't think is all that bad)

[Rigadon]

I'm sure we will see Green at some point, and fucking GREAT to see Jack in there!

[AlexAlexCropley]

Grealish is everything I love about football.
Whelan........

[Nii Lamptey]

Where’s Terry Henry when you need him! 🙄

[Toronto Villa]

It is likely Jack's last game for us tonight. If he's going then I hope he adds a few million to what he's worth or at least justifies what we are asking for him. Big night.

Keep it tight, give it to Jack and hope he can produce a bit of magic. It's not the most sophisticated game plan in the world, is it? God help us if we do lose him this week.

That cannot be the best lineup available with this squad. The good news is that it will be quite difficult to bring on a sub and make the team worse.

All that said, there should be enough there to win tonight. Let's do this!

Would it be bad of me to hope he picks up an injury that would be just enough to prevent a transfer?

[Toronto Villa]

He could have easily chosen Elmo at RB, Hutton LB, Green and BB in the line up instead of Taylor and Whelan. Only silver lining (out of necessity due to Hogan being injured) is RHM on the bench.

We bought Downing despite an injury so that likely won't stop it. And even if it did we are left with an injured, disappointed player, 30m less in the kitty who cannot contribute for us either.

Taylor is bollocks

how the ell is Green not starting - he is on fire

Thor should be in

RDL?  Is he banned

Bruce - you never feckin change , you say it feels like starting all over again , well it bloody doesnt.

[Rudy65]

SB saying squad was too old last season and he should have changed it more often. No shit Sherlock

So he does the same tonight.

Certainly sounds like it based on Bruce's comments just now.  That 'Milner v West Ham game all over again.  Depressing stuff.
