VILLAMARV Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Assuming Kodjia, Jedinak, DeLaet, RHM and Adomah are coming back from injury and aren't available along with Baker who is suspended I'd probably go with Subs: Johnstone, Hutton, Samba, Amavi, Hourihane, Agbonlahor, Davis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would go with: Bree > Hutton Grealish > Lansbury I don't see the point in playing Hourihane and Lansbury. Grealish hasn't done much pre-season but he offers something a little different.

I'm not wild about that midfield in all honesty. I'd hope that with the introduction of Whelan, Hourihane and Lansbury will have the shackles let off them a bit, but this is a Steve Bruce team, so that seems unlikely. Hutton has done nothing to make me think he should be dropped, as of yet, so would still be my first choice right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've hit the nail on the head here Marv. I think Johnstone will start, but I'm with you and I would give Steer a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think it'll be something like this. With Hourihane and Lansbury granted more freedom. Although, if Bruce is feeling adventurous he may replace one the 2 centre mods for Grealish and push him further forward. I fancy 3 points either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't go so rosy I hope there's no 'must play if fit' clause or agreement. I think it would be a bit harsh on Steer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 4-2-3-1 Johnstone Hutton - Chester - Terry - Taylor Whelan - Lansbury Elmohamody - Grealish - Green Hogan Obvs Kodj in for Hogan when fit, and Bree to come in for Hutton when he has a dip in form.

Junxs Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think Bruce will pick the same team he puts out today against Watford, will treat it as a practice match for next weekend. Think he will go with Johnstone - Hutton, Taylor, Terry, Chester - Whelan, Lansbury, Hourihane - Elmohamady, Green, Hogan Personally I'd prefer to have Steer in goal and Bree at right back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not the team I'd pick every week, but based on presumed fitness levels and preseason form... Johnstone Bree. Chester Terry Taylor Elmohammody Whelan Hourihane. Green Hogan Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think after today we should go 433 next week. Johnstone Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Hourihane Lansbury Green Elmo Hogan. Id rather Bree start but don't see Bruce making the change. We need to attack more so Whelan to sit and Hourihane and Lansbury to get on the box as much as possible.

VILLAMARV Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Head says: Subs: Johnstone/Sarkic, Hutton, Samba, Amavi, Bjarnason, Agbonlahor, Davis Heart would like this to work: Subs: Johnstone/Sarkic, Hutton, Samba, Amavi, Bjarnason, Hourihane, Davis If Johnstone, RDL, Adomah, Jedinak, Grealish, Kodjia and RHM are all still out I'll be expecting Bruce to go: Subs: Bunn, Samba, Bree, Amavi, Green, Agbonlahor, Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 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!

Other than keeper I'd expect this though. It certainly won't be far off. I prefer Bree but wouldn't be surprised if he reverted back to Hutton.

rodders0223 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Steer Hutton(sigh) Chester Terry Taylor Lansbury Whelan Elmo McCormack Green Hogan Getting seriously flipping excited now.

Decent looking 4-4-1-1. Need others to chip in with goal threat though. I predict 1-0 villa. Terry header from a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
