I'd like to see Roberts given more minutes. Todd had a poor game on Saturday and is

perhaps showing some signs of a little dip after a great start to the season. We need to be careful not to burn him out. I feel Roberts could come on earlier than he does.

I would also consider Amadou in midfield if Tettey is not fit. Villa have a big old lump up front in Wesley. He's not the sort of nippy, little player than Hanley struggles with. Maybe Tettey will be back though. I do feel having a proper DM makes a big difference in terms of making us harder to play through.

We really need to turn Carrow Road into a fortress this season if we are to have any chance of staying up and Villa have not been good away from home so far.
