Aston Villa vs Preston North End Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Me likee...

How do PNE look?

Bruce said we need to watch out for Forestieri

[Mossie Hennebry]

With a good start and savvy substitutions, we could chalk up a great home win here.

[ldavfc4eva]

What formation is that? 4-1-2-1-2?? No wingers at all so no width in that team unless he is playing 4-3-3?

[CT]

Couldn't get away from work tonight, but a least I have the joy of the wonderful "red button" coverage from Sky.

One camera.
No replays.
Coma inducing commentator.

Come on Villa FFS!!!!

[The Moose]

433 with Kodjia and Grealish wide. Pfft.

[eamonn]

He can't choose between McGinn, Barney and Conor while Jack is untouchable so four central midfielders being shoe-horned in is clearly the answer. Rest of the team actually looks OK but I can see us getting frustrated and it getting congested with no natural width.

[Risso]

Jedinak completely dropped or just injured?

[Drummond]

Nyland and Jedi out.

Tuanzebe at CB and Elmo RB

[garyshawsknee]

No idea what he's trying with that formation, I've given up trying to guess. No real quality in wide areas and two fingers up to Mendes is the only thing I can make out.

[PeterWithesShin]

Brings in 2 keepers and here we are playing a bloke that i'm not sure even has a proper contract with us.

[Drummond]

Blame the keeper. Brilliant Bruce, you tosspot.

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll be there or thereabouts tonight if we can keep the boy Finney quiet

[Legion]

Bunn?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I wonder if that is Bruce's team or in desperation he's turned round to Agnew and Calderwood, tears rolling down his eyes, blubbering out he's only got 2 games to turn it around and he doesn't know what to do.

[tomd2103]

How on earth have we signed two keepers in the summer and ended up with Bunn starting?
