Our recent dismal form (result wise) doesn't bode well for this evenings difficult trip to Villa. While we haven't been playing that badly, the televised fixture at Villa Park seems an unlikely place for us to turn the run around, a place we haven't won for over 50 years. Combine that with Bruce's 100% win record against us as a manager, and Villa's current solid home form, and it seems this will go only one way......

But anyway...

Any team news?

Favouring Brooks to start in this one?

Duffy presumably returning?

Set up more defensively?

Or continue with the style that has brought us this far?

Rightfully so, we've been receiving numerous plaudits on the style of football we play, but equally the defensive frailties are becoming more obvious and exposed. I can't see us changing too much though this evening, which is why I think there'll be some goals in this one. Any positive result would be a bonus, but I fancy us to break our recent run, with a 3-2 victory.... and the Blades go marching on....

Safe journey folks, and whatever the result, let's remember the realistic expectations of the season, and keep our heads held high...
