Aston Villa v Norwich City pre-match thread

[Dazvillain]

Probably needs more debate leading into a later in the week pre match thread due to injuries, and more very important games thereafter so......

It’s mentioned to comply with EFL rules , strongest possible and minimum 14/18 match day squad should be present so here goes

Sarkic
Hutton  Jedinak  Elphick  Taylor
                   Whelan
Green  Lansbury  Hourihan  Albert
                    Davies

Bench; Steer, Grealish, Bjarnason, El Ghazi, Hause, Abraham, Tuanzebe

4 dropping out from Leeds squad are Mings, McGinn, Kodja and Elmo, replaced by Elphick, Davies, Hause and Abraham

Fully compliant with regs and enough squad protection, thoughts ?

[cdbearsfan]

Under-11s.

I'd give both Hause & Abraham a run out Daz - Both would benefit from it.  Probably shift Taylor & Keenan to the bench.  Taylor needs a well deserved rest & Tammy needs a game after missing the last 2, even if he just plays 60 minutes.

[Three Spires Villa]

No Mings Jack or SJM

[Richard E]

Play Bolton’s under 18s. Or loan some players from New Brighton Tower FC.

Stick the ladies team out - give the Holte End something to ogle at ( only joking ladies!)
I agree we need to rest McGinn Mings,Steer and Grealish

Is Kalinic on the naughty step now, seems he hasn't been on the bench for about a month.

We’ve loaned him to Middlesbrough Ironopolis.

Ah yes I remember he picked something up with Croatia.

Hope not but let's say Steer is ruled out of play offs with what he picked up today and Nyland is long term then surely we have decent grounds to be allowed to get a loan keeper in at short notice?

Gabor Kiraly has retired now for those who have just broken into a cold sweat.

The team from Blackburn 2017 seemed alright to me.

‘Other lad from yesterday’ picked up a yellow today so he’s suspended, unfortunately.

[KRS]

All of the crown jewels need to be rested...Jack, SJM and Mings.
Axel and Tammy need a game to get up to speed after injury.
I'd also give Hutton half hour as he deserves a send off.

[garyshawsknee]

Butler.

Nelson.
Ridgewell.
Stas.
Warnock.

Back training tomorrow according to Belgian journo. Won't be full training I suppose.
