Aston Villa F.C. v Derby County F.C.

[Boycie]

Ok, I’m back by default.

Its this Saturday,

15.00hrs/3pm kickoff at Villa Park.

Lets smash them in their own back yard and build momentum for the play offs.

Same team I guess that scored the 3goals I think.

Its on sky and other broadcasters so not on Ramstv unless you’re lucky enough to be in a country that has no broadcasting rights to the Championship. 

Come on lads, you’ve proved you’ve got the balls to fight for a win, let’s do it!

sneaky nil one will do me.

whats word on d’street?

[RadioactiveWaste]

if it's on sky won't the KO be moved because 3pm saturday games can't be shown live?

[RiddingsRam]

It's not on sky ! It's 3 pm k.o. looking forward to this one. Into Brum for a few in the Shakespeare and sun on the hill then off on the train to witton station and a pint in the witton arms. Should be a good day and hopefully we come back with a massive 3 points. 

                            Carson 

          Keogh.      Davies.    Pearce 

Wisdom.     Johnson.   Huddlestone.  Forsyth 

             Lawrence.            Vydra.  

                           Jerome

Do you think Steve Bruce being at Pride park tonight shows he is concerned Saturdays game is going to be tough

He looked more like he was going to nod off in the first half!

[Dr. Gonzo]

3 at the back hey! welcome back old friend.

[PistoldPete2]

Need a point from this game to make sure a play off place is still within our own hands. COYR we can still do this. 

[Parsnip]

Team picks itself after Cardiff...

                          Carson

       Keogh (c)   Davies   Fozzy

Wisdom   Hudds   Johnson   Weimann

       Lawrence   Jerome   Vydra

[Boycie]

Yes, my bad, it’s been picked for broadcast elsewhere.

[RadioactiveWaste]

I think it was steve bruce texted radio Derby saying "if villa play well they'll still beat Derby"

[JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta]

I'd snap someones entire arm off for a point here.

ESPN will be showing the match in the US

After sticking with the 3-4-3 after the Boro defeat; I can’t see us changing it after beating Cardiff with the same system. I think most, Rowett included, will take a point all day long. Draw with Villa and beat Barnsley and we’re in play-offs, nothing nobody else can do to overtake us. For that reason I think we’ll see a more defensive version, e.g. no wingers at LWB (Weimann). My guess at the team would be:

Carson

Keogh Davies Pearce

Wisdom Hudd Johnson Forsyth

Vydra Lawrence

Jerome

My only concern is whether Jerome is fit enough to start Saturday, looked dead on his feet last night! 

[Parsnip]

Tell thee what... 3 points at Villa and folk'll start taking us seriously as a promotion contender...

I’m sure he’ll be absolutely itching to start and hopefully continue the momentum he’s just built for himself. I doubt GR will be in any rush to rest him just yet either.

The most deceptive of vegetables. Fill your plate full thinking they’re roasties and immediate disappointment follows.

I'm wondering whether johnson could be a decent LWB? Strong, good defensively but can also get forward and put crosses in similar to his Norwich role. Could then play Ledley next to Hudds. 

Think I would prefer johnson there than Olson.
