Oh Jesus christ

What motivates Westwood in life do you think? coz it sure as **** isn't football. Look at him just floating about like an empty carrier bag.

I have absolutely no idea what formation this is. kodjia bacuna Adomah and Ayew are all over the place positonally. It looks a mess at the moment

No idea what formation that is. One thing I know for sure. Adomah will be out of position.

I'm really not looking forward to today. Poor recent record against them. We are one of their most hated teams and i fear we are gonna be seeing a bunch of gloating geordies by 7.30pm. Please for the love of god villa for once prove me wrong. Would love to see Adomah and Amavi on the wings with Tish and Jed in cm and Ross and Koddy up top

He was incredible today. In Danger of being another kante this year! Maybe our scouts wernt that bad after all

Awful news. This club is cursed from top to bottom. What the **** have we done to deserve this!? Bacuna and Hutton again. Urgh.

He needs to stop over complicating the tactics. In his autobiography Roy Keane made a good point when he said the championship isn't about tactics. It's about havin characters and leading them properly. i think there is a lot of truth in that. We have good enough players to get promoted and I don't have concerns about their character but they are being led badly. I'd like us to get simple. 442. Plenty of teams in the championship play 442 and currently sit above us. I don't see Barnsley playing 424 or 4231. Let's get Two banks of four and two wingers. Amavi left and Adomah right. Jedinak in the middle alongside Ayew (only real ball playing option) and Ross and Kodjia up top. A Much more solid formation off the ball and provides real width and pace to get at teams. Theres a reason Warnock et al make a name for themselves in the championship. It's because they know how to do the simple things well and not over complicate what is a very simple league in terms of footballing philosophy. RDM is providing us with a casserole of nonsense at the moment.

It is looking more and more likely that RDM bought all these forward players with very little plan or idea how to play them. There is no system or no cohesion. Our line ups are so incredibly unbalanced.

Ipswich on form at home will beat us. Im not sure if RDM has the character to turn this around.

1 win in 8 games. Wholesale changes or not that is woeful. Im lowering my expectations from 6th to hopefully top half. RDM is proving himself to be tactically naive and a poor motivator. Throw a load of strikers in out of position and hope for the best. He will be gone by November.

I don't think I can do this anymore. Being sucker punched in the guts every single **** game is taking years off my life.

Kodjia wide right. concerned about RDM slightly now. Certianly seems to be shoehorning players in just to have them on the pitch. would much rather have bacuna wide right and Kodjia up top instead of gestede. i think it's going to be a night of disjointed attacks. Hopefully I'm wrong

What formation we playing? It looks like kodjia will be forced out to the wing to accommodate gestede up top. Which in my opinion is bollocks. Kodjia caused all types of havoc with his movement up front on Sunday. Really hope he isn't playing out of positipn

Newcastle were always going to run away with the league. Best team in paper. Nowhere near as mentally crippled as we are and they have the advantage of having one of the best managers in Europe leading them. Forget 2nd aswell. It's all about those playoffs

Jedinak on pkease

I'm looking at a picture Henri Lansburys hair to cheer me up.

Jesus Christ somebody lift this god forsaken curse

Watching grealish cut inside all the time is excruciating. i don't blame the kid buts it's so predictable someone tell Gardner to stop shooting. We had to endure his brother hitting row z for too many years we can't go through it again

Are we suffering from the McCormack conundrum that Warnock described the other week? Not mobile enough to lead the line but being a number forced Ayew and grealish out wide who are not wingers. 1 person minimum has to be dropped in that front four for Adomah and I would argue even 2 so we can see amavis pace and crossing up there

This game is literally following the pattern of every other game this season. Ready for our standard second half horror show

If Kodjia play for Bristol that goes in

The thing is I can imagine Ayew is the type of guy who if u complain to him that he didn't pass to you, he definitely wouldn't next time out of spite

Ayew The championship has done horrible things to Ayew. Delusions of grandeur. pass the **** ball

Amavi on the left wing. Adomah on the right. Ross behind kodjia and get playing more direct. grealish and Ayew are all tippy tappy with very little impact and provide no width at all
