Hull City V Aston Villa: Mon, 6th Aug, Match Thread.

COME ON!!!! I AM BORED OF WAITING NOW!!!

 

[Villan57]

Well, it certainly highlights our appalling lack of pace in the side. Only Kodjia and perhaps Green with any pace to burn.

and McCafu

SkyBet offering a boosted 80/1 on Super Jack scoring first and Villa to win 2-1. For those who are interested...

Have you got access to the game on TV @sirdennis?

 

[sirdennis]

Got my villa shirt on off to the appropriately named skybar in a short while to watch the game.

I am bang up for this

It's been far too long!! May 26th feels like a lifetime ago.

I see Jeremy Simpson has been named as the referee for our first home game vs Wigan on Saturday.

I'd rather have Homer Simpson, quite frankly.

I think you'll now find he wants to be referred to as 'Jez' Simpson JPA....I kid you not...sky commentators mentioned this as he was in charge of Sheffield Utd game on Saturday. 'Jeremy', 'Jez' 'Twat'....whatever he calls himself after his performance at VP against Bolton last season, he'll still be remembered as being worse than useless!

Jedi will play at the back tho JPA, surely. Not my team I'm preempting Bruce.

Fits the not losing approach from Bruce. Don't think he trusts Elphick, think he'd play Jedinak ahead of him in a back four as well. Expecting pretty much the same caution and reliance on favourites as usual.

Acceptable if we can grind out an undefeated start with wins at home. I hope he has a decent plan for chasing the games we fall behind in.

Bring it on

Not an overly positive view of the team selection on Twitter!

It's been a long old summer for Aston Villa fans. With incredible temperatures to deal with as the country remembered what sun was, we of course had some sticky moments off the pitch as well as cash flow dried up and the club went into a meltdown.

Only 1x Whelan selected
(no jedi)
5 at the back or 4 ??

shackles ON

 

[JW1985]

Could be 4 or 3 at the back. Just have to see.

 

[garygaryshaw]

Looks like 3 at the back to me. Chester, Elphick, Taylor with Hutton and Elmo wing backs.

 

[mike_field]

No Green has sent twitter into meltdown!

 

[JW1985]

Also if this is 4 at the back and he's picked elmo over Green he needs fucking shooting. Must be 3. Wouldn't want to play the standout player from the pre season would we. Nice to see RHM on the bench though.
