[MACCA75]

Bench will include Alcaraz, Gana, Ndiaye and Branthwaite.

N’Diaye will definitely start.

actually Leeds was my first memorable game attending as a kid in the early 70's. Standing only of course. Two arl rellas from Leeds standing with us in the paddock gave us a few coppers to fetch them some pies at half time. I had no idea what they were saying but came back with something from the food bar. Did it really matter? it was indistinguishable as food anyway!

Happier days!

Sounds like grooming to me Charles, from Leeds you say? Did one of them have long white hair and a big cigar by any chance?

Illy and Gana shoud be fit after a game 8 days before this one but lets face it they likely got bladdered after the game and then flew to Senegal for the bus reception which they seemed to enjoy. On the flip side Gana is a good Muslim and likely doecn't drink. Hard to say if they are fit to start .Moyes might be foolish to change a winning team but I got the impression the midfield 3 last week was a tactical job for Villa. He'll pick the team most likely to win, from whats available and then in Moyes way he won't be making a ton of subs unless the game is gone after 70 mins.

Pickford
Patterson - Tarkowski - O'Brien - Mykolenko
Garner - Rohl
N'Diaye - Armstrong - McNeil
Barry

Likely Armstrong's last game for us this season?

shouldnt be, he is a great player and should be here not preston, what is moyes thinking

 

[Blue Alert]

Having Ndiaye back has made me a lot more confident.

Me, too. But losing Grealish has made me a lot less confident. So overall my confidence levels are probably unchanged.

Pals with Rolf Harris and Cliff Richard plus Ted Heath? I think I know who you mean

Chance to go within 1/2/3 points of 4(depending on today’s results) chance to go within 1 point if the RS, this games only going 1 way

Exactly. Had this opportunity so many times already this season

We’ll need to score within the first 15 minutes otherwise the grumbles will start. There’s no recovering the situation once the grumbles start.

Never felt more like singing the blues

Out with my mate last night whos a leeds fan. Seems to think they’ve got a load of injuries. Left back being out is a massive blow for them he said

 

[Cameron Manning]

It's going to happen again isn't it. A win and we are knocking on the door to European qualification.
You just know they are going to let us down again.

Wait and see, don’t have a go before the game starts.

Need to score two or three then because Moyes will have them hanging on to that 1 goal lead.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Attendist!

Name calling Charles, stop it and carry on being nice not awful like your mate Kenneth Williams!

 

[Cameron Manning]

I like your thinking!

Except for changing O’Brien from centre back to right back - it could set us further backwards

 

[Paul Rideout]

hate that this is a monday night, feels like a proper 3pm game this

worried ndiaye won’t be ready, and gana

mcneil and dibling just too one paced

going the game without grealish is a stinker

To be fair having a Monday night game at least gives us max time to get these guys checked, prepped and in the squad at the least.
