Bruce will have all his new attacking talent available.  So he'll go 5-4-1 with Bjarny and Whelan both playing DM to protect the shite defence, and try to nick a 0-1 defeat. We'll lose 0-2.

Steve has got to think carefully about this game, he must not attack and play into this good teams hands, surely he should put  Abraham on the bench till about the 67 minute then we may hit them on the break, keep Jedinak at CB with Whelan and Bjarnason in the centre so we have plenty
of options, see you all there

Sad, but I quite enjoyed having a week where I didn’t have to think about Villa. Our best chance of winning is to attack them.

Crap defence, the likelihood of players being played out of position inevitable and no one to turn to if things go south.

Bruce has had 2 weeks to look at free agents and he's done fuck all. You need a solid back line to succeed in this league and we currently have a giant sized colander.

He's royally cocked it up, lost the plot to boot and should walk ASAP.

Blackburn 3 Villa 0

1-3 to the Rovers. Bruce comes up with yet more bullshit after the match. Club feel sorry for him and give him a new 10 year contract.
I've just woken up, sweating. It was just a nightmare (I hope)!!!
