One For The Road Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 2 hours ago, a m ole said: I’d be giving O’Hare 60 minutes to make an impact alongside Davis then bring Grealish on. Usual side elsewhere with Jedi deputising for Terry I'd be shocked if Jedi starts. He has just flown about a million miles and played two games across 2 continents.

clip on mullet Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Here's my team for Sat. Johnston Elmo Chester Jedinak Taylor Snoddy Hourihane Whelan Adomah Grealish Davis Bruce might not pick Jedinak due to international duty but for me he's the safer bet. I would be dead nervous with Samba or Elphick starting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Not at all confident about this. one fit striker and a new centre back partnership that will include any of Samba, Elphick or Richards alongside Chester does not fill me with confidence. doubt we’ll score but sure we’ll concede. guaranteed home win for me.

NoelVilla Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We are going to lose. Bruce will use the phrase 'We go again' for the first time. Tony will tweet emojis. Bruce have 4 promotions so all is good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think we'd be best off in a 4-1-4-1 formation now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I was looking at my phone and accidentally clicked in the reaction thread. The poll is open with players to be named later. Just playing around, I voted him man of the match, manager and referee very poor. If a mod wants to clear those, I’ll understand. But I think I may just make that my prediction.

TheAuthority Posted November 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2017 Based on QPR's record at home I think he'll play this team in a 4231 Johnstone Elmo Samba Chester Hutton Jedi Whelan Snodgrass Hourihane Adomah Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of weakening other positions too e.g. Bree, Grealish when Elmo and Adomah have been brilliant for us to now. Jedi will give the central defense added protection so Samba shouldn't have as much to deal with as he would with just Whelan there. Hopefully this will give less chances for mistakes.

SJ Bree Chester Samba Taylor Whelan Elmo Hourihane Adomah O'Hare Davis We really are down to bare bones now, especially with Jedi not going to be fit. Bare bones? Every single one of those players would get into most of the teams in the championship! I don't think people realise how good our squad actually is, even with your starting XI above our bench would have players like Grealish, Hutton, Steer, Lyden, Elphick, Lansbury, De Laet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosch1one Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Prob best to meet anyone at the ground but have got a few hours this morning if anyone is local enough. I’m in Marston Green/Coleshill. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Based on who seems to be available I think I'd go with - Johnstone Chester Whelan Elmohamady/Snodgrass(If fit)--O'Hare--Grealish--Davis--McKirdy--Onomah--Hourihane--Adomah A little bit of Joga Bonito 4-4-2? 5-3-2? I say boring. Without risks there is no genius. Forward, my friends. Forward! Villa win 6-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see decent (allbeit not really match fit) backup for midfield......and Hutton, then we are struggling! Considering just how many games are coming up id say that constitutes bare bones!

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Are Holloways teams still ridiculously open and attacking like Blackpol were? Id like to see Jed start but it think it's asking a lot after the week he just had. Probably makes sense to start with the team and shape that beat Preston. Samba in for Terry. Taylor in for Hutton.

Grasshopper Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Absolutely Zero confidence in Bruce for this one. All the stars have aligned for him to reel off the excuses of injuries thus it‘s not his fault. Even if Bruce picks the players who are capable of attacking football he‘ll just instruct them and set them up to be defensive, then during the game shout at them for not getting forward or hoofing it. Some can see through it, others prefer to hang onto hope. He can go SJ Bree Chester RDL Taylor Whelan Jedi as a defensive and destroying line. Then let the forward line have support Elmo/Snod (if fit) Hourihane Adomah Davis However, Bruce is very capable of instructing Elmo to „stay back and cover Bree but advance forward at goal kicks to head the hoof on to Davis (or their back 4) Hourihane to do the running and covering for the imobile Whelan & Jedi. Adomah is then forced back and hey presto Davis is isolated and can chase the hoofs They guy hasn‘t got a clue. He‘s wasting our time and Tony‘s money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe whack RHM in there with Davis if he is fit? Could be good to get a couple of the youngsters teamed up there. Shame a few of our best performing players are injured, glad Adomah is still fit, I think he’ll be dangerous today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
