Neil Taylor ffs. Christ knows what formation he's going to play. Most potent striking threats on the bench. Yet again he sets up trying to not lose rather than trying to win from the off.

In fairness El Gazhi has been crap, it's not like he either scored or had an assist for our last 2 league goals.

Time for bed. Bruce has taken pretty much all enjoyment out of watching Villa.

Crap lineup, crap manager.

Up the Villa!

When your bench looks like our bench, the team should be romping away with this division.

If Full back Elmo is going to play wide, what exactly has El Ghazi done to get dropped from that wide position?

Read the El Ghazi thread.

Looks like he may have started off on the wrong foot with Bruce.

Can you elaborate? I guess I'm out of the loop.

Looks a standard 4-4-1-1 to me.

Maybe a bit negative but I think Jedinak back infront of the back 4 is a wise move given our issues there.

Think this will be a draw. Would be good to win though with Leeds drawing and Boro losing.

Neil Taylor are RB I imagine with Hutton on the left. AT in CM with Jedinak at CB.

I fully two things. I expect Blackburn to attack us from the off and us to lump it long to Tammy.

4411. Abraham isolated for much of the game and left wondering wtf is going on, Jedinak having to repeatedly boot Jack up the arse to stop him playing pointlessly deep, most of Elmo's touches coming as flick-ons from the keeper, Taylor won't be a part of the back six that hears the final whistle.

Still, 3-2 us. Chester keeps a header down for a change, and Tammy Two-Times (that'll be how he'll be known after today, tellin ya), the winner breaking Rovers' hearts as they push for a third themselves after we let a two goal lead slip.

I wouldn't trust Bruce to sit the right way on a toilet.

I need to get that image out of my mind.
