I like that 352 Exile but I think Bruce will go 442.

Bongo surely that's a 451 formation? well one thing is for sure, with that team we won't concede and we won't score!!

After witnessing Steve Bruce setting up A V F C I.e V Watford

Talk about timid & cagey- ONE up front ! at home in a meaningless friendly

It would come as no surprise if he decides not to field any striker (so Gabby may get the nod ) which would allow Bruce to play Samba in front of the back 4

Include “boot it Bacuna” to the midfield in an attempt to stifle the life out of Hull

Then pray we score from a set piece

A word of warning

With Mr (super cautious) Bruce continually opting for containment instead of an offensive approach, Villa may pick up points….. however I feel there will be an immense demand for Amphetamines amongst our followers

…. ‘Cause unless S B has a revolutionary tactical reversal we definitely ain't gonna be exciting to watch

Does that look like a Christmas tree?

No, but it does look like a really good tally chart, good curve with a mean of only 2 deviations, from the mean, I guess you could say, an excellent bell chart (with no bellends in there) mainly as Gabby I presume is on the bench?

ps kiss of death, Bookmakers making us favourites to be top scorers in the championship with Koj and Hogan, top scorer out right is Koj at 7/1 Bongo stick a quid on gabby, he is 100/1

Bookmakers Bongo stick a quid on gabby, he is 100/1

That's reasonable T D some

Entered Villa in a bleak prospect of a seeing a return on a £55,000 a week wager on the "non scoring (cough) Striker" weighing in

Were still waiting for some sort of return

[TrianonDave]

That's based on his pre season form, I'm sure they will throw that out to 500/1 after 6 games!

But, I think Bruce will play Hourihane and Gabby instead of McC and Hogan. Big mistake IMO
