Team for Villa

[James1979]

I think this is going to be toughest fixture we have to go. I think we need to be defensive or we will get stuffed. I’d go with:

Lumley
furlong, BFG, Lynch, Bidwell
cousins, Scowen
BOS, Freeman, Pav
Wells

[James1979]

Should add I think we need to rest Eze rather than think he’s done much wrong

[Rebel R's]

They have only won 9 of their previous 25 games,I totally disagree that this will be our hardest game of the season

[James1979]

Our hardest game that is left. Which one would you say?

[Steve_Mac_Fan]

Hardest game left will probably be West Brom at home after the nightmare of August. Would love to win that one more than any. I would go in with the same team at Villa. Eze can be more effective on transition in away games but would love to see him get stuck in more in that little hole off of Wells. Cousins and Scowen both played well at Forest and their defensive mentality will suit an away performance. Would definitely have changes around the hour mark whatever the scoreline though

[Rebel R's]

Our hardest game that is left. Which one would you say?

Norwich staff Utd away or even frank lampards Derby on the final day,Villa are very inconsistent ,it will be a very difficult match for us but certainly no more difficult than Leeds or forest recently

[James1979]

I don’t fear anyone at home. Sheffield are a big lump of a side. Villa have much more quality and an away game, will be the toughest for me

[Rangers77]

Lumley
Furlong BFG Lynch Bidwell
Scowen Cousins
Wszolek Chair Freeman
Wells

The team is out on its' legs.

Same team as Reading and lose 3-0.

[Stanley]

Lumley
Furlong BFG Lynch Bidwell
Scowen Cousins
Wszolek Chair Freeman
Wells

Bit of a gamble starting with Ilias away to Villa. I'd rather bring him on after 60 mins (and no later) if Eze still isn't performing, or if the team is struggling. Otherwise I'd go with that team, 77.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Lumley
furlong, BFG, Lynch, Bidwell
Pav cousins, Scowen Freeman
Wells
Smith

[Alanwycombe]

We need someone in the middle who can pass a ball. I'd give BOS a run wide, pull Freeman to the middle alongside Cousins, only because he's a bit more mobile than Scowen but not a lot to choose, and I would give Chair the support role alongside Wells. Villa probably don't know much about him so it could pay off.

[Alanwycombe]

Lumley
furlong, BFG, Lynch, Bidwell
Pav cousins, Scowen Freeman
Wells
Smith

Only one way to play with that line up, hump it. Villa will eat that up all day. If Smith actually did what people think he does - hold the ball up or flick it on to a runner - then fine, but he doesn't. He comes in on corners and defends corners, that's about it.

[SpongeParr]

We will play the same team that played Reading, I don't see anything that will change, though I would change it up, but not quite sure how. I think Eze needs a rest but last year he was MOTM against Villa at Villa so he will be in confident mood. I think BOS would be needed so we have more pace to hit on the counter.

[James1979]

Whilst Scowen and cousins were not great, I think moving freeman back there could leave us very exposed tomorrow.
