Villa – Newcastle; Possibly the biggest game of the season

I’m worried about today.
We face Newcastle at home and the truth is I don’t have the foggiest idea about how this game is going to go.

It’s easy to take a pessimistic view and look at our form compared to the opposition’s and assume it’s all over before we kick a ball. But we should at the same time remember that Wolves managed to turn them over on their own patch.

So while the barcodes are a decent side, they are by no means unbeatable.
But what worries me, is that the longer we go without a win, so the self-doubt surely has to start creeping in and getting a result is going to become more and more difficult.
We need the breakthrough three points, it’s as simple as that.

Tshibola should be fit for this one but Nathan Baker, Ross McCormack and Rudy Gestede all face fitness tests.

Newcastle have Yurdun Anita in the middle of a three match ban, but I’m not sure how much of a problem that will be as they’ve used more players this season than any other side. Which is a bit more worrying if they’re doing so well and Benitez hasn’t settled on his best team yet.

The press seem determined to try and create some fierce rivalry between the clubs and I really can’t say I care for it.
We’re two respected clubs who have never really had any problem, a bit of banter apart and that’s how I’d like it to stay. Mick Quinn trying to fan any flames doesn’t help and the ony comment I’d have for him is “shut up, you fat git”, which is what I most remember about him when he played.

So while I don’t know what to think, I’m going to stay positive and believe that we can win this.
Actually, that reads wrong, as I believe we can beat anybody in this league. It’s actually achieving it, that is proving the problem.

I’ll predict a 2-1. And hope it’s in our favour.

There’s also the question of Jack Grealish and what we think of his latest partying situation.
I’m adding a belated poll, but the truth is I’m not sure what the question should be.

    No clear direction, questionable formation – it is all down to RDM for me.

      That’s because we are playing 3 at the back no one knows what they are doing. We also signed the wrong full bk should of gone for Yedlin

    RDM needs to go back to basics. 442 with no Westwood. Bring Tshibola in, Richards for Bacuna (sure it cant be worse) and take off Ayew for Gestede.

    Then when the games over, walk out VP and don’t come back.

      Tshibola on for Baker.
      Now get at them.
      If RDM can inspire such a thing, which I really doubt.

    Its rare I will pick out a player who is not performing, but Jedinak – how poor for a so called midfield general.

    Please RDM never play Bacuna, Westwood and Ayew in midfield . they are not up to it.

    I stated at the start of the season I would give RDM until November. Time is running out and if he can’t fix upon a formation, a style and win matches then is days are numbered.

    I have no idea what system we are trying to play. Why do we play strikers as wingers all the time? Hardly any effort to get players in to their box.
