Now that Mcginn is injured how does the midfield shape look assuming Barkley replaces him, or doesn't he?

Ross could start but think we'll just see Bailey come in from the start v Ipswich.

They play with wing backs so they'll be plenty of space for Leon to exploit there.

Doubt it, I’d expect Bailey to come in for mcginn.

Evil Dead II don't know
Back to the Future Part II not as good as the first
The Dark Knight not as good as the first
Batman Returns not as good as the first by some distance
Superman II - equal to the first
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan don't know
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey - no where near as good as the first
Addams Family Values - didn't like either
Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 - don't know
Green Lantern 2 (don't think this has been made but that's preferable to the first one) don't know

Marked your work as above :-)

Barkley is the more obvious replacement for McGinn style wise but Bailey position wise. In a tough game, if Barkley can play right sided i'd play him.

From F365's Winners & Losers section:

Quote
Ross Barkley
There was no incredible assist to match the generational three-yard lay-off which preceded Jhon Duran’s 30-yard tap-in against Everton, but Barkley again proved himself a contender for best bargain signing for the second straight season.

Luton used their free agent as often as possible; Aston Villa are yet to give their £5m summer purchase a start outside the Bristol Street Motors Trophy. But Barkley’s influence from the bench has been clear and crucial.

After misplacing one pass at Everton, Barkley maintained a 100% accuracy against Wolves. Villa were losing both games when he came on to help establish control, command the tempo and free up his teammates. As a reliable, game-changing squad option, he was a phenomenal addition.

Came straight to the latest posts on the thread so not sure if it’s been mentioned, but he’s only misplaced one pass in his three appearances so far. 100% successful passes against Leicester as well as the games mentioned above.

Evil Dead II don't know

Marked your work as above :-)
The only real difference between Evil Dead I and II is the budget - the plot is near identical, and both have the wonderful Bruce Campbell as the lead actor.

Personally I prefer I, but if you’re looking for a pure horror film then II is a better version.

But Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness wipes the floor with both. That film absolutely nails what it’s trying to do (comedy-horror, packed with 1 liners … groovy)

That's an insane stat, good on him. It's not like he's come on when we're 1-0 up and hanging on either, he's actually been part of the catalyst for wins.

Yep, it's easy to get 100% passing accuracy when you're knocking it around at the back, protecting a lead and not taking any risks at all.  It's VERY different when you're chasing a game and need a goal.  He's been excellent so far, and long may it continue!

He may start against Ipswich in place of Onana, but I don't think McGinn's injury has anything to do with it. Bailey will probably start on the right instead of McGinn I'd have thought.

How about Duran for McGinn on Sunday!
I'm awaiting the starting double act of Watkins and he!
