We are going to get smashed.

Bad vibes for this and the Palace match but then I reckon we will go unbeaten for the rest of the season.

Delighted to see Gruda starting in the 10 but equally disappointed to see the innefectual Adingra at right wing.

Resting Baleba a big call.

Good team given the situation and great bench. If we can stay in the game until the hour mark we can add real quality off the bench.

It’s not though. If the sports scientists are saying he’s at risk of breaking down then you have to listen to that or we could lose him for the season. No way the manager rotates for any other reason. Same with Minteh and Welbeck.

Blimey, Baleba not starting. I am thinking that’s a mistake

How do Villa play all these competitions, and have pretty much full squad ?
Still think we will do them.

I agree in principle. But ayari and gomez feels incredibly lightweight. With Gruda ahead of them.

Good team bar ayari.

Most worrying thing is they are using no wingers so have six men in the middle like forest,

0-1.

Just been reading their forum and they've had Injuries but all seem to be coming back now.

Some big calls today with that lineup.

Players clearly need resting.

Good luck BHA, tough fixture against a pretty much injury free Villa side.

I suppose, to give it my 2 pints in, bolstered confidence, if we can keep it level or close for 60-70 minutes, look what we can unleash from the bench.

If listened to TS or 5L this pm and concerned the only game tonight is the Merseyside derby, I can confirm our match is also on.

OK, I’ll miss out on the Piglets Jalfrezi pies, but they were sold out (as were all pies) at half time in West Lower on Saturday
