I hope that this is a resounding win and Steve Bruce masterminds a come back and we win the next 8 games on the trot... it's very unlikely imo but it's what I hope for as it's still the best case scenario. Our objective this season is not to get rid of Steve Bruce it's to get promoted, if the only way to have a chance is to change the manager then so be it, no one person is bigger than villa, but if (and it's a very big if) he turns it around then that's better for us in the long run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Got to start with adomah and 2 forwards. Time to trust the players we have and use them. Keep one player at right back for several games, bree for me and adomah in front of him. Most teams play 5 in the middle so I expect instead of picking our best 11 Bruce will pick 5 for the middle just to match it rather than try and stumble across something which works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Johnstone, De-Laet, Terry, Chester, Taylor with a middle 3 of Jedinak, Hourihane and Onomah, with Adomah, Snodgrass and Kodja up top. 1 nil win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a plan in the circumstances. I am debating whether to watch or not...I'm sure I will but usually by half time I'm thinking why on earth did I bother?! I just cannot see us getting a win from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2017 Kodjia will start, Bruce needs him, and I predict he will be the difference and notch us a 0-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2017 I think Barnsley will win. They'll score first anyway, I expect we'll see more disjointed non football from us and maybe some more arguing amongst themselves. Bruce will be relying on the fact he has man for man a better team and nothing else, it won't be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Barnsley have been just as shit as we have so far. But it's their 130th anniversary and were a soft touch with a clueless manager so 2 - 0 to them and more dropped points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Feeling more confident nearer the kick off. That is usually a bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 US supporters having a meetup. All will be watching at a bar in Austin Texas. Large crowd of fans in villa shirts, singing holte enders in the sky. We will leave multiple Texans baffled by the behavior of those odd folks in "that weird red color and blue." I'm looking forward to a great time shared with many other villa fans. a rare treat when you're in the US. Guaranteed loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to lead the line. Hogan could probably do a better job playing on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2017 2-1 to Barnsley. They'll go one up, Kodija will get ours before Barnsley get the winner near the end. Happy Birthday to the Tykes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
