I’d prefer it to be 4-3-3 than 4-4-2. 1988 called, it wants its formation back.

Cash is carrying a knock.

I think Bailey is fortunate to be in, here's to him shoving it up me tonight.
What a vision that is

Edited you filthy minded people.

Fom the BBC match page https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/63881770

"John McGinn is out injured, while Matty Cash isn't fit enough to play" 

Isn't that the sae thing? Or a I missing something?!

Why use 8 words when you can use 13!

1995 called and said it is glad we found a formation that could beat Man utd at Villa Park

Bailey looks like he will be on the left which i feel suits him way more.

What makes you say that? Would be pleased if true. He’s struggling on the right. Hopefully he has a shred of confidence left. He’s an emotional chap.

Our bench looks weak enough..I wouldn't be surprised if at least three of them left within the next couple of weeks. Cash, Carlos, McGinn, Dendoncker out

Dendoncker can't be sold. He can't be at 3 clubs in a season.

If we're going 442 I expect him on the right and to drift in as Watkins prefers the left so he can cut in and shoot. Ings must be shit in training or maybe the plan is to tire Leeds out and hit them in the last 20 minutes. Another home draw looks likely unless our midfield bring their shooting boots.

Blimey no Matty Cash at all. Good to see JJ back in

Well, he did go off injured in the last game, so I’m not sure it’s at all sinister.

I didn't mean it to sound sinister. I just didn't think he was so injured to be out completely.

Ooh I had Edgar Allen Poe shivers it was so sinister!!

I was more on about Sanson, Nakamba and Bednarek on way out...maybe Coutinho too. The Donk is suspended

Is Dedoncker the sound a car makes running over something?
