rubberman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Johnstone De Laet/Bree Chester Terry Taylor Jedi Snod Hourihane Onomah Green Davis 2-0 please. Feel (as always after a break) confident we will nail this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We will soon have way too many players for Bruce to manage. He'll pick the worst RB in Hutton and bomb Adomah to get Elmo in bench. I hope I'm wrong! I'd like to see Johnstone RDL Chester Terry Taylor Snodgrass Whelan Hourihane Green Hogan Davis will be happy if Onomah plays instead of a CF though and 433 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Feels like that this game will define our season. Too early to say maybe but a win for Bruce and he might make it. A loss and the new guy whenever he comes in will be to far behind already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet your bottom dollar that will be the role he is given tomorrow then. Edited September 8, 2017 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Unfortunately I don't think a win, no matter how convincing, really tells us much. I do think we'll win but if we only win away once in a blue moon then what's the **** point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted September 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's my birthday, I'd like to have a nice day therefore I'm going to ignore the game and try and forget it's even happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2017 Apparently Bruce confirmed Davis starts today. Great news! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Be interesting what he does with elmo here. Snodgrass you would like to think would play rm so maybe elmo will play rb? Anything but shitty hutton at rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One school of thought is that he was bought to fill that attacking central role earmarked for grealish. In which case Elmo will play too, but what then for hourihane? Does he move further back into that box to box role? Glad I don't have to make the decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'd drop Elmo and play Snodgrass on the right hand side, Bree to fill in at right back having played well there in his last appearance. Nothing but 3 points is acceptable here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling we will batter them especially considering how they sold so many players so late. Scoring 4 and only having the ball for 5 minutes of the 90 might be hard.

AJ Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I am sending a psychic hypnotic suggestion to Steve Bruce from the other side of the world. "Attack! Attack!! ATTACK!!!" He just put up the team sheet on the wall. With a tack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully snodgrass gives us a debut to remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A thumping 3-0 win, please. (I know we'll most probably get a 1-0 lead and then defend for the rest of the game and end with a 1-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'll beat Boro on Tuesday as well. Then we'll go to Barnsley and play a 6-3-1 and lose 1-0 because it's a scary away game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting idea, what are you thinking Elphick, Samba, Chester with Terry as Sweeper and Hutton, Taylor out wide or just a flat back six?. Keep it tight and try to nick a winner. We're bound to get one chance in the game...somehow.... and if we don't score it well... you have to take your chance at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I am in an absolutely excellent mood, and with my dander high, I've gone and purchased two tickets in the Upper Doug for myself and the missus, so I'm naturally now worried that the rain and Villa will piss all over my parade, but that's what we do this for, right . . . ? Anyway, I would like to see: ----------------------------Johnstone--------------------- --Bree--------Chester---------Terry------Taylor---- ------------------------------Whelan------------------------ --Adomah--Snodgrass--Hourihane--Green- -------------------------------Davis-------------------------- Turning into a 4-2-3-1 when we don't have the ball, with Hourihane dropping deeper. But Davis is great at holding the ball up with his back to goal . . . let's get as many powerful, skillful players as close to him as possible, is my thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
