Yep, still can't figure out the formation. Konsa at right back just seems... well you know.. wrong. Sigh We go again Double Sigh

And I would have in back in a half heartbeat.

At Home under Friday Night Lights. a 3-0 win please. yes I know I'm being overly positive but still..

Guys... we have won our first 3 competitive games in a row.

Is that.....a back 3 and a half? oh this is gonna be long 90 mins

For me the Fulham game at the weekend for me is more important, however I don't want us to roll over here either as there are enough players who should want to step up. Steer, Hause, Ramsey, El Ghazi and Davis to get full games please. Jack and Ollie on the bench and give Konsa the night off to rest his hamstring. I guess we will also know Samatta's future if he is in the squad tonight or not. The worry I have is that guys like El Ghazi, Nakamba should be completely bossing this game and they didn't look bothered to do that last week against Burton. Hopefully, Dean will have stuck a rocket up their arses <insert gif here, you know the one> and realise its last chance saloon for them. I want Guilbert to start but he seems to be a taboo subject in the squad these days for some reason so doubt he will play, Engels is still injured, and based on last week I don't want Lansbury taking up a seat on the bench so my team would be; Steer Elmo Hause Mings Taylor Nakamba Traore Hourihane Ramsey El Ghazi Davis Martinez, Grealish, Watkins, McGinn, Trez, Cash, Kesler-Hayden A very cagey 2-1 to the Villa

No. We should be beating them over 80 odd minutes against 10 men. Anything but 3 points is a major missed opportunity. Surely after last year we know the value of 3 points.

There is no way he is starting, and I'd be surprised if he makes the bench after just arriving over the weekend. He may not have even met his teammates yet if they have been preparing for todays game.

Great draw for us really, I expect us to get to the QF now and once you get that far you have every chance. Don't want to see us balls it up but of course this is the villa and that's absolutely a possibility

Will he be straight in for Mondays game do ye reckon?

Good move for club and player this. We often complain about youngsters not getting loaned out early enough so this is right on the money for a change. Hopefully he does well and continues to develop. Hoping for double figures from him in league 1 lots of game time. Will be keeping an eye on him.

Have any of our players been linked with moves elsewhere? I know we need some depth to the squad but some players have no business being with us. Ramsey > Lansbury

Based on the first half, I would rather Ramsey take his place in the squad

still injured or recovering from injury i think. some sorta long term problem but I read that a while ago somewhere.

Totally this, and he did the same against united at the weekend. Kinda surprised Burton didn't get in front of the cross though, you could tell it was going across the box once Taylor figured out where the ball was.
