Enda Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Assuming Tshibola is injured and Jedi isn't allowed to play, there isn't a lot wrong with that line-up. How long until Amavi is back to full fitness though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 So no Jedi or Tshibola and yet again a bench where we could replace the entire back four.. Surely we have more attacking players. We don't need two RB's on the bench.. Keeping an open mind, maybe this is just necessary rotation.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Gardner and Westwood - the most uninspiring midfield duo. Haven't seen who they've gone with, presumably Hughes and butterfield. They should boss us in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Now regretting sticking a tenner on Villa before the line up... C'mon Gardner, prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Lets see what Gardner and Westwood do before writing them off - they know they have Jedi and Tish breathing down their necks so time to step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Very average midfield and zero options on the bench to fix it. I would definitely be happy with a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Crap midfield but still have enough to win this by a couple of goals. I'll be very unhappy with anything other than 3 points here. Edited August 20, 2016 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Maybe Tish wasn't ready for 3 games in 7 days or whatever fitness wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If that is a 4-4-2 we need a lot of players to up their games a whole lot. Hopefully it's more of a 4-3-3, if formations even matter... Can't get the new signings in soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnchin84 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Sorry but that bench is p*ss poor atm, lots of work to be done. 1 Goalie, 4 Defenders, 1 winger (who's hardly featured) and kozak (who is he again?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Gardner is awful. Would be a lot more confident if Jedinak was available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skills Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 why doesn't veretout get a chance on bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 We've still McCormack, Ayew and Grealish. Come on Villa, 3 goals up by half time then we'll be glad for the defensive reinforcements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Flimsiness of our squad very much underlined. Will be pleased with a draw. We need five players ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) That midfield is absolute dogshit I'm going to reverse my prediction of 3 - 0 to Villa with a Jedinak hat-trick to 3 - 0 to Derby with Will Hughes dominating the game Edited August 20, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
