Aston Villa v QPR Pre Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

I know someone already said this

But hogan as a number 10. You've seen him play right?

[Drummond]

Bunn

Bree. Chester   elphick.  Hutton

Bolasie. Bjarnson.  Mcginn. Adomah

                   Hogan

                  Tammy

Pretty cavalier playing Bunn over by the corner flag. But nowhere near as crazy as starting Hogan.

Perhaps the theory is that it'll make the opposition shoot at him?

As for Hogan, mYbebifa a similar theory, start him so deep that he might actually touch the ball.

[Axl Rose]

2-1. Certainly not Hogan for us.

McGinn and Hourihane for us.

A Mark Bunn own goal for QPR. Hopefully his last game ever.

[mr underhill]

and there are a few more you can say that about!

[darren woolley]

2-1 Villa win.

[Clampy]

I'd bring in Barney and Kodjia and if there wasn't a cup game coming up, I'd have been tempted to leave Chester out as well but he can sit out the Swansea game instead. Two weeks rest until the Wigan game might help him.

2-1. Abraham and Kodjia.

[PaulTheVillan]

1-1

[footyskillz]

Did you miss the news Footy?  Nyland has done his achilles, and is out for ages.

Oh yes I had till this morning! Came up on news feed.
That's hard luck on the chap.

[PaulTheVillan]

Mark Bunn is set to come out of retirement

[villa `cross the mersey]

Until that defence is sorted we will struggle not to concede.... the initial new manager bounce is waning ..... I'm not confident hence 1-3 to QPR
Sincerely hope I am wrong though

[Jon Crofts]

A plodding desperate backs to the wall 1-0 win. Chester to score.

[Matt Collins]

Any sort of win would be great

[in exile]

Despite the handicap of having Bunn in goal, I still think we will win.
Just not brave enough to put a score line to it

[JJ-AV]

I'm confused over the goalie situation - Kalinic isn't available yet due to registrations but Steer can play, I wasn't even aware he'd come back from Charlton yet?

I assume Elphick starts. I'd have Adomah in too.

[Lastfootstamper]

Taking the lad tomorrow to his first league game. I'm fighting off some serious Liverpool influencing from his never-been-to-a-game grandad. Please, Villa, don't fuck this up.

Bunn in goal? Us by the odd goal in eleven.
