We are a longshot to win at Aston Villa, so....

[Qprtanpa1]

We haven’t beaten Aston Villa away in a decade, and our away record under Ollie is the worst in the league. So instead of starting tomorrow with the same boring, putrid mediocrity of 3-5-2 with no attacking threat on the left (Bidwell), and a lost attacking player on the right (Pavel), why don’t we pull out the stops from the beginning with something fresh, new and wholly warranted. The lineup:

Smithies
Furlong Baptiste Onouha Robinson
Eze Luongo Freeman Manning
Smyth Smith

Pavel is just afraid to attack this year. Bidwell is slow and no threat in the box. Scowen needs a game off as he’s been off his game of late. Conor should be released now.

Same suggestion before every game now. What will Ollie do?

Smithies header from a corner in the 95th minute.

5-0 Rangers, with the winner going in off Ned's bum.

[loftbalcony]

2-0 defeat and usual post match drivel.
It actually hurts to say that but I'm being realistic. Would soooo love to be wrong though!

[Rebel R's]

Villa are a decent team;3-0

[MattyRangers]

Think they'll win comfortably tbh, 3-0.

[James1979]

Not about formations. It’s about running up hills.

Does the Pools Panel still exist? Wonder what their verdict would be for this one..... I'll stick my neck out and go for "home win".
