4-3-3 makes sense and sounds better than what I was thinking.

COME ON YOU LIONS!

by **villabromsgrove** Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:22 pm

Could be 5-3-2.

by South London Villan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:25 pm

Bacuna on Gray a worry, Lescott and Clark to stifle Donaldson, Guzan to focus.

I have been snowed under at work so I haven't been able to get on here much. Desk cleared, fridge stocked with beer, nervous as hell, didn't sleep well last night.

Tonight we need some new heroes and legends to be made, COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS!

Ref watch;
Madley 5 games, 17 yellows 1 red, (Behrami Watford v Swansea)

Officiated our game against Sunderland, booked Clark and Gil plus a Sunderland player.

Can't remember if he was any good.

He needs to be strong.

Could easily be either. With Sinclair and Gabby playing it seems more like a 4-3-3 although I'm not a fan of Bacuna in midfield so him as a wingback would be preferable to me. Though I don't see where that would see either Gabby or Sinclair truly fit in. A midfield 3 of Veretout, AW and Sinclair looks weak.

Whatever the formation we need to be on the front foot, passionate, but controlled and no cheap giveaways. Tim needs to be proactive and influence the game if his players don't. Time for smart subs if needed.

I'm nervous!!!

I've got butterflies in my stomach. Anything can happen here.

Even if we can't quite work out who's playing where, I think Gestede and Sinclair can ask some questions. It's the kind of game that will suit them.

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:46 pm

Gestede is familiar with championship defences, could thrive tonight if used correctly. COME ON!! UTV!

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:47 pm

It looks like Clark is a DM.

by **Sandie** Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:48 pm

Was just about to say that. Tim has to be obsessed with DMs!

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:48 pm

So 4-3-3 with Clark in the centre as a DM. AW right and Veretout left. Loves a DM Tim doesn't he?!

by South London Villan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:49 pm

Gabby nedds needs to get out wider, he is on top of Rudy

Surely Wilkins influence? Was he this obsessed with DM's last year or at Spurs? Bizarre

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:51 pm

That's where Richards struggles for me at CB. Does like to dive in. Needs to learn when to go and when to hold. Nearly cost us then.

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:52 pm

And again

by GadgetMan Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:57 pm

Good knock and cross by Bacuna. Gabby needs to be busting bis balls to get to that.
