Villa - Newcastle Saturday 24th Sep (17:30)

you'll be alright this season. 5-2-3 or whatever the fuck you were playing last 20 minutes is the future of english football.

honestly though, when you tried to play football (first hour) you looked wank. you were much more of a threat when you were lobbing crosses in at every opportunity. stick to that.

Considering the players we have (especially the midfield) I agree, I don't get what a lot of people's problem with long ball is, our team is equipped for it, like it or not, we have some decent crossers, an awful midfield, and two good target men (Gestede and Kodjia), so I'm inclined to agree.

Regarding formations, some of ours this season have been hilarious, we started with a 4-2-4 against Notts Forest ffs.

3 wins in 45 games is soul destroying, I'm not as confident as a lot of people that Villa will come good this season, the club was absolutely rotten when they came down and I feel it will take longer than 4 months to get rid of it.

Yup. We'll recover at some point this season, but people still saying we'll challenge to go up? Nah. No chance. Not this season, I reckon we'll go up next season.
