And this is how I think Smith will line up McGinn Luiz Buendia Bailey Ings Watkins
Anyway, if Bert is out this is how I would line up for Saturday:McGinn Luiz Ramsey Buendia Watkins Bailey
Then again, by Spring 1998, wasn't Gregory playing combos of Yorke/Collymore/Savo (or Joachim) and we were in title-winning form (9 wins from our last 11 league games)?*Just checked on Soccerbase and there were a few games during that spell where we started three up front including the home leg of the UEFA Cup against Atletico when we had to go for it but the most common combination up-front between March and May 1998 was actually Yorke and Joachim. Collymore actually barely featured after his brace against Liverpool in Gregory's first game in charge and his thunderbolt in that game against Atleti. Savo even started more games than him during that spell despite having told Villa that he wanted to leave.

Same here Caster, I left at half time in that game, only time I've ever done that. Mind you, I was on a promise with a girl in Leicester who I shared a flat with, so that tipped the scales somewhat.
