  1. Gk - Johnstone, Steer RB - Hutton, Bree LB - Taylor, ? CB - Terry, Chester, Samba, De Laet DM - Whelan, Jedi CM - Lansbury, Hourihane RM - Elmo, Adomah LM - ?, Green AM - Onomah, Thor, Grealish ST- Kodjia, Hogan, Gabby Can go - Bunn, Richards, Elphick, Amavi, Bacuna, Gardner, McCormack I'd be hopeful of getting rid of all of them except Richards (who can provide further cover at the back). Would love to to see an established player like Snodgrass for left wing, but think it will be Ryan Kent.
  2. The thing that annoyed me about Saturday was the formation. We'd beeen playing 4-4-1-1, or 4-4-2 all pre season and he reverts back to the 4-3-3 formation that we were average with all last season!!
  3. Looked lively when coming on but questionable decision making. That said, has to start mid week, and must surely start ahead of Bacuna!!
  4. Surely should have started today - Bacuna and Lansbury were awful!!
  5. I'd be happy enough with that. Just can't see how Bruce thinks Gabby is a better bet than our 15million striker though!!
  6. Just a feeling I have given what Bruce normally goes in competitive games!!
  7. Bruce will start Johnstone Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Elmo Bacuna Whelan Green Lansbury Gabby I don't see he goal threat with that team though and it should be Hourihane in for Bacuna and Hogan in for a Gabby in my opinion.
  8. Johnstone Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Elmo Whelan Lansbury Green Hourihane Gabby Is what I think it will be, but personally I would have Bree over Hutton and Hogan instead of Hourihane We desperately need Kodjia back!
  9. Unrealistic I know, Dembele from Celtic would be amazing - try to give them McCormack as part of the deal? 20 million has been mentioned
  10. Whilst on the whole I think the incomings improve is, they're all defensive and I'm sure our main issue was scoring goals?!?!
  11. Interesting to see Terry and Gabby welcoming him!
  12. I can see the sense in this signing. It means we won't be toothless when Jedi has his injured periods. Will also allow us to play a 4-4-2 more effectively as Jedi can't play in that formation and any other combination together is too soft!
  13. Do we need anyone else for the starting XI? Johnstone De Laet Terry Chester Taylor Lansbury Jedi Hourihane McCormack Hogan Kodjia (McCormack as the link, Hogan through the middle, Kodjia cutting in from the left.) Steer, Bree, Baker, Thor, Grealish, Adomah, Green
  14. Could Bruce be thinking 3-4-3 a la Chelsea? Johnstone Chester Terry Baker De Laet Lansbury Hourihane Taylor Hogan Crouch Kodjia
  15. We do definitely need a natural left winger with quality though!
  16. Johnstone, Steer, Bunn De Laet, Terry, Chester, Taylor, Bree, Baker, Samba Whelan, Jedi, Lansbury, Houirhane, Thor, Grealish, Adomah, Elmohamady, Downing, Green Kodjia, Hogan, McCormack, Gabby Out:Hutton, Richards, Amavi, Cissoko, Gardner, Bacuna, Gill, Veretout,
  17. Hart or Johnstone Terry Whelan Elmohamady Downing Would be the sort of window needed to hopefully get us up this season!
  18. Hutton Terry Chester Taylor That's as good a defensive partnership in the league as there is. De Laet, Baker, Bree and also Jedi to provide back-up with the kids. Happy with that! Time for Amavi, Cissoko, Richards and Elphick to go.
  19. If I'm John Terry, I want to win things. Signing for a team like West Brom or Bournemouth just wouldn't do it for me. I think the opportunity of winning the championship will appeal or he'll end up abroad.
  20. I reckon if we sign Whelan, Jedi would be first choice centre back next to Chester.
  21. Scum, quite simply! Puts me off going to the football!
  22. Not a fan so far - want him to prove me wrong though!
  23. I don't like Bruce's style of football, it doesn't entertain me and therefore I've not renewed my season ticket - I'll pick and choose games instead. I do think he'll get us up, but at some point I'd like to see a better standard of football at Villa Park.
