Bailey is going to start isn’t he.

Unless McGinn is injured then no.

Hopefully saying Bogarde is crap at RB will have the required effect again.

As with everyone else, hate this fixture, but doubt will get to watch it being mothers day.

If Cash is definitely out, I’d go with.

                             Martinez

    Bogarde.        Konsa.      Torres.      Mastsen

                 McGinn.      Luiz.         Onana

                  Beundia.                 Rogers
 
                                    Watkins

And the main reason amongst many that i hate this fixture is the eternal hope of a delusional man.

2-1 (McGinn, Watkins)

Hopefully but different level of opponent at weekend to deal with, Cunha?. McGinn in front of him will help. Thankfully Mount is out, tends to turn up against us.

I think Bailey will start and McGinn will replace him after an hour or so

I bloody hope not.  Bailey v1.0 was never good away from home, let alone this version.

Yeah, he'll pussy-out of a challenge from Amad, despite being twice his size.

Im contemplating avoiding it totally on Sunday.
It's Mother's Day: my Mum has given me the perfect excuse to avoid this game!

And me. Will record it, if / when we lose not watch it. If we win I will wear the sky box out

That's a wee bit over the top but i'm with you, I'm going for a Villa win 2-1 think they have a goal in them, in any case if we where sticking out our reserve, reserve team i'd still predict us, after what this dross did to Villa this time last year and what its cost the club since, no way in a million years would I predict these ****ers to win anything, realism or not.

I have a sneaky feeling we will go against the odds and get a result there.

It’s Mother’s Day, it’s my birthday. We have too!

Absolutely hate these cheating twats!

Not much of a contribution to the discourse, but just had to let it out.
