Baird of the land

Always on the cards when a nuclear superpower is/ has been involved.

Relieved we got the draw. would have been a travesty to lose twice to that awful team.

Like last time round we’ve completely outplayed them, yet failed to have the lead.

Things have hardly turned out well when we've tried 4 at the back

Just got to hope we don't bring any of the bench players on

Hopefully onachu is fit enough to play and get the goal that somehow eluded him last time against them.

Cm has been a need all season. Even with Charles returning I think we’d need another option. i’ll keep beating the drum for a cf. I like onachu((hope he stays). Not convinced archer’s going to transform from a pumpkin or that nessy will be worth much. Guess we’ll probably need to move at least bbd before we can get someone, maybe Armstrong too. lots of it will be driven by who we can actually shift. If it’s sugawara then rb rockets up the needs list.

Dyche’s seeming attitude towards end at Everton would make me very cautious. Is he really still the Burnley guy.

there won’t be the level of change some are suggesting Players I expect we’ll lose that we’d want to keep: ramsdale, fernandes, dibling playersi expect to be moved on: Taylor, Abk, bbd, Last time round the player I wanted us to keep was tella, this time it’s Charles. So if rohl goes to leipzig knowing my luck he’ll take Charles. the rest: I wouldn’t be bothered selling THB, is anyone really giving us our money back after how poor he’s been. i wonder if bednarek may want out this time round. of all the strikers tall Paul is one I’d most care about keeping.

Surely Onachu starts and Nessy comes on for last 15 or so.

The whole don't go back thing is overdone. Everton don't seem to be suffering, nor Sheffield United. Thing is not to just to do it for sentimental reasons.

Smelly rat, smelly rat what are they feeding you. Smelly rat smelly rat it's not your fault. Your not villa's favourite pet.

I'm very nervous about Rohl. Is he just the next charlatan fad like Martin? I wouldn't be opposed to Cooper. Kind of dull but done repeatedly well in the championship. Leicester job was always a bit of a hiding to nothing.

Not sure i see the value in sacking him. Assume it's just board trying to deflect.

tremendously tough decision. Do you judge it on money spent (Archer / BBD), awful old players we're likely stuck with (Taylor,fraser etc) or epicly bad loans(Cornet)
