Oopsie daisy I am glad I am not alone here. That is why I posted such a strange XI on the first page. I thought this was the cup match! I guess I have to get my AVTV subscription going again now.

NoelVilla Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 How to be optimistic for this game? Really dont know. Hope for a win with a scenario that still gets Bruce sacked. Losing 0-2 and a Boro fans pitch invasion in the 67th. Will that do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Bruce criticised the young players (he blamed himself for picking them because they were jaded) and he's mentioned that this game needs experience. I expect to see Jedinak, Agbonlahor and Hutton in the starting eleven. I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if both Whelan and Jedinak play in front of the defence. That will be a six man defence at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2017 0-0 I reckon, and I've reconsidered and I think a point would be just enough for the board to stick with him for the Barnsley game. The point will be considered as valuable as the Newcastle draw under RDM last season, so will give him a bit more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Can you imagine Hutton up against Traore. I hope to god he doesn't play. I know he's a right winger but i'm sure they will swap him over should Hutton play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 We'll make a handful of changes at least. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jedinak and Lansbury come in for Whelan and Onamah, Hutton for Bree, Gabby for Green, Hogan for Davis and possibly Snodgrass for Elmo. Hoping we can grab a win in what look like being dire conditions otherwise the walk back to the car will be even more unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I've a feeling Bruce will flap it big time and go ultra defensive so it's Johnstone Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Elmo Whelan Jedinak Hourihane Lansbury Hogan which will be 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think given the injuries we have, we might go for a Christmas tree formation of sorts tonight. Hourihane gives us the flexibility here to play slightly deeper than Snodgrass and switch to a 4-4-1 if needed. Green is out and I think Bruce will have promised Birkir game time on the left this season. He's not impressed me one bit so far but maybe his work ethic will be good to have on that side against Adama. There again he could quite easily get sent off within half an hour with a few clumsy challenges, who knows. Sadly I think that whilst I've put Bree in there, Bruce will go with Hutton tonight. ------------------ Hogan ----------------- ----- Hourihane -- Snodgrass --- ---- Birkir --- Whelan -- Elmo ----- Taylor -- Terry -- Chester -- Bree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Would like SJ Bree Chester Terry Taylor Jedi/Whelan Adomah Snodgrass Hourihane McC Hogan But I think we see SJ Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Jedi Elmo Snodgrass Thor Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted September 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2017 @Grasshopper I would like to see that first team too but even Bruce couldn't eat enough humble pie to select RM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is probably our hardest home game of the year... I would go Johnstone De Laet Terry Chester Taylor Snodgrass Hourihane Jedinak Adomah Davis Hogan ... but I think we'll lose, 0-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been tried before and was a disaster. Hourihane can't play in a two either, he just doesn't do enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
