mikeyp102 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Only thing I can think is that he doesn't trust anyone to play rb, so to use elmohadamy effectively going forward he's altered the formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan501 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I can see it being the back 5 with whelan holding then green herohan and onomah behind davis and the wing backs ploughing forward 10-9 to villa haha hes gobe kevin keegan style we will score more than you.

blunther Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 What the **** is this? Where is green playing? How can he not have any semblance of a strongest team or formation after nearly a **** year?! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 seems strange to change the shape, especially after the previous 2 results, I don't see Green as a striker, so where is he playing? If it is as Striker then regardless of how well Green played last game you have to go for the specialist in Hogan especially after his goals. It's a bold move from Bruce - if we don't win there will - quite rightly - be a lot of questions asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit worried the defence is quite slow - but if they're sitting deep we should be okay. Crucial game for Whelan to link the play - quite excited to see how this turns out. Looks more defensive to me than attacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2017 Interesting to see who didn't make the bench - there's no place for O'Hare or DeLaet in the eighteen - I think both can be entitled to be disappointed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Good luck Villa and good luck Mr Bruce but you are setting yourself up big time if you get this wrong !!!! #UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 If O'Hare isn't dying of an injury then him not even making he bench is farcical. And just as Hogan starts scoring, we drop him. For Green? What the actual **** Bruce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 3ATB doesn't work for us. Samba starting will be a disaster as well. For once there wasn't any need to make any serious changes and he pulls this out. Bruce just doesn't learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree , if we lose this game then he deserves every bit of flak that will be thrown at him - let's hope for our sake we win . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I worry that the slightest bit of pressure by Bristol and that is quickly going to turn into 5 at the back, 3 midfielders sitting deep and Green and Davis isolated upfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what it will be from the first kick if our mindset at Reading and Cardiff is anything to go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm very confused. Master stroke, or absolute disaster, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
