I think that Ricky Holmes is a definite starter. We haven’t been chasing him for 18 months for him to sit on the bench.

No, I think he’ll play tonight so that everyone can see the reasons why he’s here.

Mehhh, what do I know? I confidently predict that I’m giving up the prediction business.
 
Can see us having problems with keeping the players on the bench happy, don't think the likes of Duffy, Holmes, Sharp and Brooks are here to not play.
 
Until i looked at table earlier. i didnt realise how big a game this. Because with our dip in form where between preston & wednesday we only managed 1 win. I was very surprised to see that there is just 5pts between derby 2nd & us in 7th. Win thought we go 2pts off automatic. Which as i say considering the problems is something
 
Its all about rotation at this stage of the season & as norwich proved. Im big fan of duffy only last few weeks i rightly called him our player of season so far. But hes was very off colour v Preston whether thats tiredness or because they had 2 men on him.

Early in the season, when everyone was underestimating us, Duffy often found a lot of space and was tearing teams to bits. Since Birmingham at home teams have been marking him tightly, even doubling up on him as the pigs did.

In a flatter midfield 3, with Leonard and Evans, some of that creative responsibility falls on Fleck, and he's harder for teams to mark because he tends to get the ball deeper and drive forward from our half. MotM against Norwich and looking for more of the same from him tonight.
 
Not seen Evans and Leonard yet so it's hard to make a reasoned comment but at home Duffy would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me...especially when Brooks isn't available...so those two must be good !
 
Playing well but defo need a goal, not that impressed with Wilson so far tho, getting bullied of the ball, losing possession.
 

Noticeable how easily the Villa players are going down - Snodgrass, Grealish and Hutton ...
 
For anyone not here tonight at the Lane.
We have got Terry and his bunch of arrogant tossers on the rack and they don't like it. Wankers.
Ref is another tosspot.
 
Leon's link up play has been absolutely outstanding.
 
Interesting seeing the (negative) comments about Wilson. I think he’s been excellent so far - used the ball well, chased a lot and some neat touches too.
 
I thought Wilson had been playing well, my biggest problem so far is quite a lot of misplaced passes from Evans - However he has had some really good touches and passes also.
