Team v Bristol City No Gabby again?

[TrianonDave]

Would he dare change things or just tweek things?

Delaet fro Hutton?
Adomah for Elmo

Got build on this rich run of goals and attacking football.

Delaet
Terry
Chester
Taylor

Adomah
Onamah
Hurhane
Green

Hogan
Davis

[samhubball]

No changes excent Hutton out and de laet or bree in.

By the way fellow villans William Hill have a Hourihane hatrick priced at 500/1

Worth a quid!

[yubbywelch]

I reckon Green would get the next hatrick

[stateside]

I think it will be the same team as vs Norwich but Elmo will play RB for Hutton with Snodgrass on the right wing. If Onomah is unfit Lansbury in.

[freer]

Lets assume Steve Bruce learnt from our current performances & he doesn't revert (to type by) playing a dour team http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/nervous/very-nervous.gif (http://www.sherv.net/)with Gabby up front

I think you're right States but he might be tempted to play Hogan up front with Davis. Nice dilemma

[yubbywelch]

And no Gabby! Love it.

[samhubball]

Has snodgrass signed yet? He won't be able to play tomorrow if not. I'd like to give gabby another chance















Not really

[freer]

I am OK with that Sam long as you don't want to give him another contract http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/funny/1/running-around-smiley-emoticon.gif (http://www.sherv.net/)

[stateside]

Yep. Snodgrass is a no go. So I agree Hogan in

However, I think as we’re away, that he’ll go one up top again, 4-4-1-1/ 4-5-1. ** = possibly playing as a No 10

So predictable :zzz:

Gabby vs Baker - wonder who wins that one!

[bongosdad]

Looks like his playing 3 at the back. Bruce did say he might start doing this away from home.

Johnstone
Elmo Chester Terry Samba Taylor
Whelan Horihane josh Green
Davis

[TrianonDave]

Looks solid but a lot of responsibility on young Davis.

Subs?

[bongosdad]

Steer GABBY Hogan Lansbury Bree Thor

[stateside]

22 minutes is how long 3 at the back lasted. Now Chester is at RB. Luckily for Bruce, Chester once played under Tony Pulis. :-)

[Exiledvillan]

Samba seems to a tad injured, holding his right tree trunk a bit, so maybe Bree on and Chester in the middle. Something not quite right up front. Baker has Davis in his pocket. Baker loves an old fashioned CF.

[bongosdad]

Well spotted Exiled. Bree on samba off

[bongosdad]

Scrappy goal from them and a defected goal from us. Come on villa

[bongosdad]

1-1 was probably about right. We were the better team I reckon but didn't create enough chances to deserve the win.

[bongosdad]

I like the look of Davis. Holds the ball up well but I still think we looked a better team when hogan came on. We're going to be really strong once we have snoddy Jedi and Kodjia back. Whelan looks like he's up to speed now. We also looked better when bree came on.
I can only see us improving.

[mondaze]

very impressed with davis, he didn't let his head drop after 10 minutes when baker had him in his pocket... he just kept plugging on and eventually outshone baker ( rather have him than terry any day).

[westcountryvillain]

Agree mondaze, Terry's penalty appeals for shirt grabbing vs him hugging opponents when defending corners!

Bree and Elmo look a good combo down the right, Whelan looks really comfortable and for me a better option than the Jedi - allows Onomah the freedom to support Davis. Really impressed with Onomah, very comfortable on the ball and looks to pass it forward.

I thought the team were good 2nd half, mixed up the play - anyone else thinking that SJ is prone to flapping at times?

[stateside]

Glad you're starting to like Hogan now Bongo.

Weird about Whelan. I read where he had no chance of keeping Jedi out as he wasn't a patch on him.

[bongosdad]

I guess Jedi can still be an option if we're playing 3 at the back. He's probably better than Samba. I still think we need Jedi in our side and could play next to Whelan.
I was never against Hogan but my belief is you need to earn the right to ware the shirt. Hes done nothing so far but I do see a good player.

[stateside]

Agree with both points. Although with two elder players both defensive in their careers it makes us automatically defensive
