Since I was one, only two other members including all the SB admirers fancy us to win this one.......mmmmm, why?

Happy Birthday old timer...........@De Kuip

[avfc forever]

Another draw for me 1-1.

[Villa_Dan]

Happy Centenary DK! Did you get a telegram from the Queen?

He's still got the last one he received from George

[De Kuip]

Oi you lot! Just read this thread, cheeky sods, I ought to chase you in my bath chair and have at you with my brass ear trumpet.....

Right, 3-1 to "Big Fat Stevie's Claret and Blue Army"!!!!

[4BetLite]

since we have a mostly shit midfield I'm calling for bruce to play 5 forwards in midfield and play westwood as alone striker........

[Dions_Bald_Head]

Don't see why there can't be a reasonable chance for a win (that's sticking my neck out, for me!); it's not as if we've been hammered week in, week out. No major surgery - just getting the best players in the right places & properly geed up. One good thing about Brucie is that he's a touchline jumper (& we've not had one of those since Tim - before things started turning sour) so hopefully that'll infuse a bit of urgency in our game, which has been lacking.

@4BetLite I think that was the only formation that RDM didn't try?

[De Kuip]

I know it would piss one of them off, it really would, but if I was Bruce I'd be looking to convert one of our forwards - probably Ross - to a midfield role until January. It doesn't matter how often we shuffle the midfield, with the current crop we're always at least one decent player short.
I'd play:
.................Gollini
Bacuna Chester Elphick Ciss
Tish McCormack Jedi Amavi
...........Grealish
.....................Kodjia

[De Kuip]

Must admit I'm gutted to miss the Wolves game (or as Colin Murray used to call them "Wuuuuuvs"), but I have to go into hospital for a small medical procedure (after which, I'd like to be referred to as "Barbara").
So the first chance I'll get to see BFS's team live will be against Fulham. Be interesting to see how we'll line up/tactics/mindset/effort/adaptability and how much Bruce will be able to achieve in the few days he'll have before the Wolves match.

Been thinking something similar and I think it makes perfect sense considering Rmac has such a great footballers brain, dunno if he has the enigine for it so was thinking adomah jedi tish.......... with rmac behind Koj and Rudy... I'm making jack sweat a while and be backup to rmac. Amavi at LB for me and I'm ok with bacuna there but I still hate the prick.

At least it is on Sky so you can watch it mate

[jeffvilla]

As Mike Basset said  4 4 Fking 2.

[Trotters]

Good luck, Barbara. I've just this minute put 34,001 as my GTC guess with the one being you.

If it's 34000 neat ill not be happy :)

[smetro]

typical Brucey gritty 1-0 win

* Grits teeth.....I'm not Barbara yet, I'm still pre......

I assume you mean the Fulham game, otherwise surely you should have gone 39,999 for the Wuuuuuvs game?

[NARLA24]

We are going to thump the Dingles

Yeah I could go with that 4Bet. Just like to see something, anything, different to the predictable names on the team sheet, with predictable outcomes that followed.

[achilles]

Just to remind everybody that Tish is suspended!

My TEAM, not a bunch of individuals:

                   Gollini
Hutton   Chester   Elphick   Ciss
Bacuna   Westwood   Jedi   Amavi
...........McCormack
.............Kodjia

Absolute last chance for Elphick, otherwise Baker.

[VillaBill]

2-1, 90th minute winner deflected of Brucies belly that had spilled out onto the pitch from the dug out !
Big fat Steve's claret & blue army

Kodjia doesn't look the same player with his back to goal, his best game was coming in from wide right against Forest, when he runs with the ball at the opposition they shit their pants

[De Kuip]

I thought they'd confirmed tish wasn't suspended? Bacuna Hutton and Westwood, fuck me I'm depressed just thinking there's a chance they'd all be playing.

[Guest]

Gollini
Bacuna Elphick Chester Amavi
Jedi
Westwood Grealish
Adomah Ayew
Kodjia

Unfortunately our weak and shit central midfield really limits our tactical options

So a 41221 because all the width (potato) is on the bench........ Scandi thinking is awesome

[1Elliot]

Home Win for me 3 -1 Ayew being injured might be a blessing in disguise as it might actually strengthen the midfield !!!
