Team for Tonight:

Johnstone
Bree Chester Terry Taylor
Elmo Whelan Hourihane Green
Davies Hogan

Keep defense and keeper the same so they carry on building confidence, keep Hourihane firing, experiment with two in the middle so we can get two up top and try to work out how to get Hogan firing. When his played on his own he makes all these runs and never gets found, Davies got the ball every run he made Saturday. We have to find a way to get him going and with some who can hold the ball, wait for support, lay it off to a midfielder who can then play in hogan, we might just see why we paid 12million for him. Then if it's comfortable by the 60th minute, send on O'hare, Doyle-Hayes, Lyden to get them more first team minutes.

Swap out Bree for De Laet, Lansbury for Elmo, Whelan and Jedi (if fit) interchangeable, Green swapping wings as needed, and that's our strongest team at the mo for any game cup or league, and would be a pleasure to watch

Lansbury as a right midfielder?

Midfield 3, Green moving from wing to wing depending on if our full backs are overrun on 1 side, I'd be thinking Jedi or Whelan in front of the back 4, Lansbury and Hourihane right and left, but advanced when possible, 2 up top or 1 and a 'No10' which then becomes a 'diamond' formation, but I'd really like to see 2 up top with Hogan feeding off Davis, in my dream world it'd be Carroll and Hogan, but Davis has got to be given a run in the team going on what we've seen so far, and Hogan has got to catch fire at some point, I see it as we're Aston Villa, let the opposition worry about US, we've got what should be a pretty solid defensive unit behind those attack minded players, surely it's better to try to win from the off, we've got the players to do it?
