Aston Villa v Rotherham United Pre-Match thread

[Ian.]

2-1 win and Bruce being a twat post-match.

That's a given whatever the result.

Wouldn’t it be ace after we won the match and then during his twatish drivel he was sacked on the spot.

[Axl Rose]

1-1

Bland, disorganised football.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

I'll go 1-1 too. An uninspiring outfit turning up at Villa Park hoping to nick a point...against Rotherham United. Nailed on drab draw. Goals from Jedinak (at both ends).

[b23]

As no one else can be bothered. I’m going 3-1 win as surely not even Bruce could fuck this up.

Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe
Taylor
McGinn
Hourihane
Grealish
Kodjia
Abraham
Bolasie

In 4-2-3-1.

Can someone add a poll please

Completely agree with this line up for the rest of the season.
Unless a left sided, left footed, fast centre back arrives in the next window and three at the back becomes an option.

Subs.

Moreira
Bree
Bjarnason
El Ghazi
Adomah

[JUAN PABLO]

id like to see  Tammy , Kodja , jack , Conor and McGinn all start and either el gharzi or bolaise ,, I dont want to see whelan or Jedi playing.

[Gregorys Boy]

Will be worrying if we can't beat these lot.  Still Bruce's post match interview might be more entertaining 3-1 to the Villa.  Jack,  Connor and Tammy to get his first Villa goal.

[RussellC]

4-4-2 (remember that?!) for this one;

Nyland; Hutton, Tuanzebe, Chester, Taylor; Bolasie, McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish (starting on the left, but drifting infield); Kodjia, Abraham.

El Ghazi coming-off the bench with 30 minutes to go.

[Matt Collins]

Bolasie won't start

Nyland

Elmo Chester tuanzebe Taylor

McGinn hourihane

El ghazi grealish Kodjia

Abraham

But switch to 442 at time with Kodjia up top and jack tucked in on the left. The key is getting people closer to Abraham

[Matt Collins]

Although those criticising Whelan: from what I've seen he's been our best player this season

[garyshawsknee]

I think we'll get a 2-1 win to keep the wolf from SBs door. Abrahams to get a couple.

[AV82EC]

Although those criticising Whelan: from what I've seen he's been our best player this season

You didn’t go to Sheff U away then?

Then again neither did Whelan so.....

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

It won't happen under Bruce, but I would avoid playing a DCM. I'd definitely go with a Hourihane, Kodjia, El Ghazi return in the starting line-up. We need to play on the front foot in the opponents half not ours. I don't want to see Grealish in the left back position like saturday
Nyland (if we have to), Elmo, chester, Axel, Taylor, el ghazi, mcginn, grealish, Conor, Kodjia, Tammy.
Subs must include Thor, Hutton, bolasie, rhm, o hare, bree and a goalie

[darren woolley]

2-0 win and all is good again.

[aj2k77]

Are we all agreed that we don't need a defensive midfielder sitting in front of the back four to try and stiffle and add protection against the rampaging might of Rotherham? If Bruce plays either Whelan or Jedinak he can pack his desk up at half time and feck off tonight.

McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish, Bolasie, Kodjia, Abraham.

[eddiemunster]

No doubt Mr Goofball will set up to not lose, probably going 4 5 1,with the Zimmer frame twins (Whelan & Jedinak) playing in front of the defence.
Scrappy 1-0 and a rewind of any of the previous two years of self centred drivel, where any and everyone but him gets the blame.
Thank God I'm not going to be able to watch the game, as I'll be celebrating 25years of marriage with my better half in Albufera.
