Targett and Guilbert as wingbacks will make the formation work a hell of alot better than Elmo and Taylor.

Targetts in the training photos so hopefully that means he's fit. I appreciate people think hes been dissapointing but having Targett and Guilbert as wingbacks will make the formation work a hell of alot better than Elmo and Taylor.

This 100% re the full backs.

I would definitely start Freddie against Brighton.

Really not confident about tomorrow. Can’t see us winning without a striker and have to admit to being massively disappointed that we appear to be going into two huge games without one.

It wouldn’t be so bad if we ever looked like nicking a goal from a set piece but that’s just not the case (still no headed goals this season? ridiculous).

And Maupay scoring feels as inevitable as Deeney at Watford.

Would snatch your hand off for a draw.

Brighton fans reckon it's their biggest game of the season. I hope our players think likewise.

We have got to win, we have got to win. So I have gone for a draw which doesn’t really help us

Agree completely. To be going into these crucial games, against teams around us, with no striker is unforgivable. It will cost us crucial points and by the time it's sorted, it's going to be too late.

Agree with this. Targett offers more going forward, though he's the best of a bad job !

He is very vulnerable defensively as part of a four. However hopefully the addition of an extra central defender will offer him more protection.

A 5 with Guilbert and  Targett as wingbacks and with Konsa, Mings and Hause looks pretty decent to me.

It absolutely has to be Targett and Guilbert though. No pissing about with Taylor and Elmo.

Like every game it's a tough one at this level, but I reckon 1-1.

I'm going for a Villa win, we just can't keep losing games and expect to survive in this league, it simply doesn't work like that, difficult to predict a score because its equally difficult to see where the goals are coming from.

Absolutely no chance we will win a game against a defensively sound side with no Striker on the pitch. Ludicrous gamble that is going to cost us big time and heads should roll over it at the end of the season when the dust has settled. These next 3 games are pivotal and we are going in to them short.

Next 3 games could see us going down looking at these games as a pivotal point in the season, almost, almost beyond sacking the manager as irrelevant.

Fear we're in trouble tomorrow. Dearly hope Jack can help dig us out... yet again. Fingers crossed, UTV
