Don't want to dwell on the West Ham defeat with ten men too long, and although this game will be tougher without Ayew, I think we will win this one.
Would help if Kozak and Sanchez were back to fitness, to replace Ayew and Bacuna.
-
Whos going to score our goals? 0-2 Norwich.
-
4-1 Villa. All our summers shall arrive at once. Enjoy x

Hope springs eternal, but it's hard to see who'll score any goals for us unless we eventually get a penalty, which given our luck will probably be missed.

Poll added

Would it be worth playing Grealish in a very advanced free role with the licence to get beyond Gabby?

He'll have to go over the top

With a decent striker available I would have us down to win comfortably, but now it has nil-nil written all over it.
-
1 1

I hope Bacuna doesn't play. i thought he was very poor last night.
And i would play Jack. I don't know what's been going on re attitude, etc., but he has class and can open things up.

Bunn
Richards Okore Lescott Cissokho
Veretout Gana
Sinclair Grealish Gil
Agbonlahor
Guzan, Clark, Richardson, Lyden, Bacuna, Gardner, Sellars
That bench is depressing.. Are Hutton/Westwood/Sanchez/Kozak/Anybody likely to be back for this?

0-1 Norwich.

gone for a villa win as finally we might have some luck.
TaxDodger's line up might work.
Also the missus supports Norwich and it was really fun driving in Norfolk ( & listening on local radio) when they beat us 2 - 0 :-\ so I hope I get some personal payback.
And we have bought some players in the transfer window and Norwich didnt so they'll regret that.
Oh...... ::)
-
Don't think we'll lose but that is about as optimistic as I can get. See the noses are are home as well on Saturday to Sheffield wed. .seems a bit strange that. Certainly hope those knuckledraggers don't upset the ambience of my pre match drinks in bham.

I wouldn't worry, the unwashed will still be travelling back from Brugge/The leyland DAF/Prison
-
0-0. Unless we shoot ourselves in the face or they do a major balls up like the keeper throwing the ball between his legs again.
-
Villa 4 Norwich 0
Let's be 'avin you!
-
1-2 and the misery continues...
-
Best we can hope for is 0-0. No chance of us scoring.
-
0-0.
-

And i would play Jack. I don't know what's been going on re attitude, etc., but he has class and can open things up.
I agree. One thing he can do is win free kicks around the box. That may be our best chance of scoring if we don't have any strikers.
Norwich are terrible at the moment - a run of 5 defeats in a row but we all know what happens when a team play us when they're on a run like that don't we?
Fuck it. One nil to us, Lescott header.
-
Once again, 70% of pollsters saying we won't lose. Incredible!! As I've said on many occasions, to win a team has to score. When was the last match that we looked likely to score?? Please tell me, who is going to score 1 goal for us let alone 2 or more?
As regards the board, why on earth appoint any manager on a fairly high wage when you are not going to back the guy with some money for transfers? If cost cutting means that much to them, they could have appointed me on say £3,000 per MONTH and, sure with this current playing squad could have achieved the same results. Much, much better though, for all of us, having made the right appointment, Garde, at least back him to the hilt. The money is there (see comments regarding us being near the top of the league regarding shirt sales!!) so why not spend some of it for the Manager's and our sakes to at least have given us a little hope!!
-
3 nil Villa as we get the 3 penalties we should of got vs West Barcelona, Wet Sham and Licecester...
J.Vertout 28(pen), 46(pen) and 85(pen)

I'd start with the same team as last night but put grealish wide left, Gabby up top on his own and start Gil in the hole where he started quite brightly last night.
Gil and Grealish are underwhelming and a pair of fannies but if the rest of the team shows some of the urgency from last night it should make up for it. Norwich have had several pastings back to back I reckon they'll be shitting themselves and we could take advantage.
Gabby to score.
edit. Grealish in for Ayew obviously.
-
2-0 us. Gabby 64, Sinclair 81
The march up the table well and truly on!
-
No goals in our team so the question is, can we keep a clean sheet?
I think not and so 0-1.
-
0-2. Who is going to score for us?!
-
We are so weak up front I would be tempted to experiment and play Richards to lead the pack up front, he may not score but he may cause enough problems to allow the other forwards more opportunities.
-
I'd play Guzan up front. He's the only one in the squad that knows how to find the back of the net having spent so much time in it the last few years.
-
I hate to say it, but I just don't care about this game and probably none of the others going forward. We will play shit, still be bottom and with no transfers pretty much certain to go down.
Thanks Randy, you managed to crush all the fun out of football for me.

Aston Villa 2 lets be having you nil

Fuck it - I'm going for a Villa win. Who knows? We can't be shit forever, so this week, things turn.
-
I'm going for a Villa win as well, I must be mad.
2-1
-
We will win on Saturday. Norwich are shit.
-
Too little too late but a home win. 1-0.
-
A completely useless draw.
-
We can't be shit forever
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
-
Norwich are truly awful.
0-0.
-
385 all out
-
It seems implausible but a win on Saturday could see us just 7 points from safety. Considering how bad our results have been it shows that we aren't the only ones. Our unerring ability to fuck up means that it almost certainly won't happen but it if we suspend disbelief for a couple of days then it keeps the flame flickering for just a little while longer.
-
Yes, but if 7 points were a crater, we'd be at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and Norwich on the moon.
-
1-0
Bacuna shot in 87th minute is so wide of the goal that it hits Deadly sitting in the Upper Trinity and deflects down and in off the post. Referee is so clueless he gives the goal.
Just watch!!
-
fuck it we're winning this. They're shit and we're shit and I predict we will be marginally less shit than them. 1-0, someone will score for us. Could be the ref.
-
Yes, but if 7 points were a crater, we'd be at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and Norwich on the moon.
If you get caught between the moon and Norwich city, the best that you can do, the best that you can do is fall in love.

;D ;D ;D

Sinclair or Gabby up front? Do me a favour...
0-1 or 0-2 Loss.
-
We'll stuff this lot. 4 - 0.
Drink!!.......... Girls!.......... Feck!............
-
It will be a famous win, 1.0....( altogether now) Cause 'Birmingham is full of fun t**s, f***y & Delia' !
-
Who'll score for us? Lescott or Richards most likely.
-
1-0. Tony Daley with a blistering run from the half way line, cut in and shot in the 92nd minute. Thank you, goodnight Norwich.
-
i think we will win this one 3-1
Gabby 2 Westwood 1: now its off to the fairy forest for me
where i am hoping to meet santa
-
This is a game we should really give Sellars an opportunity.
-
I'm not even thinking about staying up any more - I just want to have something to cheer.
-
Sinclair or Gabby up front? Do me a favour...
0-1 or 0-2 Loss.
I'm clinging on to the hope that Gabby performs like he did against Norwich a few seasons back. He absolutely destroyed them.
That said he was probably a stone lighter and several yards quicker back then, so I won't hold my breath too long.
-
This is absolutely win or bust. It might not be mathematical yet, but this game really, abso-fucking-lutely is the last ruddy glimmer of a chance that we have. Win and we gain ground on Norwich and get them within squinting sight. Lose and it's game over and a draw leaves a 10 point gap which beyond this weekend is definitely too much. A 7 point gap though? We can still bridge that (maybe...).
We could just do without gifting an early goal or having a stupid sending off. We could do with getting a shitting penalty decision actually go our way.
-
Villa 1 v 3 Norwich.
Agbonlahor for Villa, finger to mouth goal celebration to firmly answer his critics. This will guarantee him starting every game from now to the end of the season. He will finish the season on no goals as his goal will be ruled as an own goal as his shot was heading for a throw in until it hit the backside of a Norwich defender.
-
At least if we lost it makes Newcastles and Sunderlands chances of escaping very much harder.
(He says, clutching at any silver linings he can in this horrible season).
-
Only a month until Gabby's one year goal anniversary.
-
Ever the optimist, I've gone for a draw (0-0), but it wouldn't come as a major shock if a calamitous moment handed them the game at t'end. Hopefully the faithful will give The Board the full gun throughout; & resist the temptation to hammer the hapless individuals on the park.
-
new boy king centre forward
-
Just to rub it in
Aston Villa 0 Norwich City 1 (Naismith '93)
Come and have a look at what you could have won...
-
I'm not even thinking about staying up any more - I just want to have something to cheer.
We now have the country's former top banker on board?
-
If Sinclair and Grealish don't start, the League goals tally this season from players likely to be on the pitch, will amount to the princely sum of 4.
Gil 2
Lescott 1
Richards 1
I would like to start with O Goals playing as well as he has a couple.
So it's likely to be:
Us 0 Them X
where X >= 0

So often major things can turn on just one game - just look at what happened to us and Leicester after we lost a 2-0 lead there in September - as said above a win takes us to within 7 points of Norwich and would give us some momentum. Massive favour done by Everton last night to keep Newcastle in our sights - our season just has to have "lift-off" this weekend - 2-0 Villa.

Lescott has two doesn't he? Or was the Palace one put down as an own goal in the end?
-
Can tell it has been a while since I've been to a match, as I'm looking forward to going to this game :)
-
Looking at the seat selector on the website, I'm staggered how many people are going to it.

Villa fans are loyal. Whilst Garde still has the fans they will turn up.
-
I reckon it will be close to a sell out tomorrow with the announcement today.
-
That's a fair point - a hardcore of around 20,000 and several others who'll stand firm - and as you say Remi Garde still has the supporters (and rightfully so). I look at him sometimes and wonder if he's thinking "just what have I taken on here ?"

Our support has held. Despite having the worst results out of any of the other league clubs we average only 1,000 less than Everton over the last 5 and half season and they've finished 8, 7 , 7, 6 , 5 , 11 whilst we've circled the plug hole and been embarrassing.
-
I can't remember exactly without checking, but in the "recent good old days" of continually finishing 6th (what we'd give for that now !!) - were we getting an average of a tad over 40,000 ?

Top 6 finishes saw average gates of:
40,029
39,812
38,573
Looking at the OS I think it will be between 33-35k on Saturday, par for the course even this season amongst the weekly horror show.

You can bank on it.

Many thanks Hoyle - I knew I was fairly close when I was thinking around 40,000 - what good supporters we've got - and that's without those who don't go very often.

0-0 draw. I would say win but we have no strikers.

Callum Robinson. I take it he has gone to Preston to the end of the season. Nothing in the deal to say we can recall him if needed? Of course not!

He always looks like Bambi on ice to me. I'd be more inclined to give Sellars a whirl.

5-1 Villa
We're overdue giving somebody a spanking.

Yes.
About three years overdue.
-
I've gone for a 1-1 draw. We'll go behind to a flukey goal and equilise in the 88th minute to a largely deserted VP.
-
are any of the injured lot expected back?
There might be one goal in this lot but thats about it. 1-0 might be enough though, first goal being crucial.
Really could do without seeing Bacuna not trying a leg in a Villa shirt for a while.
Westwood might come back in for him, Grealish seems miles down the pecking order but Id like to see him being given a start.
---------------Bunn
Richards, Okore, Lescott, Cissokho
Veretout, Gueye, Westwood
-----------Gil, Sinclair/Grealish

I don't think you can have a recall option if the loan deal is that long. Besides, he's hardly banging them in at a lower level. He still hasn't scored against Championship opposition nevermind being able to do it in the PL. If we throw anyone in i'd stick Rushian on the bench.
-
I wouldn't. He's another one promoted above his level of ability.
-
Then again, we're hardly rife with options at the moment.

Also injured I think.

Out of nowhere, when you least expect it i think we'll win this one.

I was going to give up my ST for this one as I had a meal booked with friends, it's now been put back an hour so I can now attend both VP and my meal. Can the good denizens of H&AV kindly advise what a gentleman should wear when attending a protest, the match, then polite dinner?
I wa thinking of a dirty protest at VP, the train to New St etc but where, or if, to wash ones hands?

I would advise wearing a querulous frown and alternate this with a savage grimace or a rictus of despair as the situation demands. Do not under any circumstances crack a smile.
If anybody asks why you are looking at them funny explain the difference between an adverb and an adjective and tell them to go and take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.
Keep your hands to yourself and refrain from touching the handles or doors of the public toilets.

The bookies aren't usually wrong and they have us s favourites so Villa win it is

According to Phsyioroom.com........ Westwood, Kozak, Geastede, Hutton, Sanchez are all available I presume Remi will say more in his press conference later today
Anyway I am going for a 2 - 1 victory to us
-
Peter Withe...would appreciate it if you could wash your hands and sanitise yourself before getting the said train to new st as it sounds like you could be on the same train as me back into town. I don't really want the remains of someone's dirty protest to get onto my clothes as I will be in town afterwards and would hate for people to look at me and think I'm a knuckledraggers.
-
You a knuckledraggers CCR? You have not been hanging out with the Clampys and the Djembas have you?

Don't play Sanchez. He's shite.

I would go with a dinner suit with a black bin bag over it and galoshes.
-
Don't play Sanchez. He's shite.
It's probably a choice between him or Westwood.
For what it's worth, I would go with:
Bunn
Richards Okore Lescott Cissokho
Gana
Veretout Westwood
Grealish
Kozak Agbonlahor
Subs:- Guzan, Clark, Bacuna, Sanchez, Gil, Sinclair, Gestede
Think it is time to give Gil a rest and give Grealish a go. We're still a midfielder and striker short.
-
It's going to piss down with rain all afternoon - ideal opportunity to have N'Zogbia on the bench and warming up on the touchline for 90 minutes

If as seems likely Gabby is our only option up front then we are not scoring 0-0
-

We've got to get more of the midfield up supporting him, well in general, whoever plays up front. We attack so slowly as it is that we need to supplement it with numbers or we just aren't going to create anything. Saying that though the midfield also lacks pace so sending them forward means they struggle to get back. Oh well.
-
Kozak is injured.
Maybe Westwood and Sanchez fit.
-
We'll probably have to go with Bunn, Richards, Okore, Lescott, Cissokho, Gana, Westwood, Veretout, Gil, Sinclair, Agbonlahor Subs: Guzan, Clark, Richardson, Bacuna, Grealish, Lyden, Sellars
Not exactly screaming goals with that line up but then again none of our line ups have screamed this all season!
-
It is written, Villa win. St Gabby with a brace. The beginning of his and our redemption. Let's get off this road to perdition it's a bit shit I wonder what odds I can get? Gabby first scorer and villa 2-0.

Personally I've gone for Villa to score Under 1.5 in my acca at 1/2. It's a no lose situation, I either win my bet or Villa score 2+ and most likely win the game.
-
'Fun' fact: 4 times this season we've scored 2+ goals in a league game, well 2, W0 D1 L3.

there ya go, only Villa could be a worse team when they score goals than when they're not

Thought 'I wonder what the weather forecast is for tomorrow'. Pissing down from about 6am-10pm is the answer ::)
-
You a knuckledraggers CCR? You have not been hanging out with the Clampys and the Djembas have you?
There are insults and insults but that is not just below the belt that is below the kneecaps.
-
2-1 Villa with Gabby producing one of his biannual decent performances. Fancy a Veretout goal as well.
-
1-1.
We make a good start and then concede a goal which is soft, controversial or both. We equalise fairly late in the second half but never really look like getting a winner.
And repeat...
-
Given that even the respected football websites are referring to us as "Villa Nil", I fear the worst but hope for the best!
-
Surely 'respected football websites' is an oxymoron.
-
Basically if Villa don't win this game at home against probably the second worse team in the PL, then I can't see Villa winning another game this season!
-
We're going to win a further 3 games, tomorrow will be one of them.
-
Tomorrow may well be the day when the January inactivity comes home to roost ... unless we actually win!
-
Rudy can't fail
What's the other two
-
Rudy can't fail
What's the other two
I don't know and don't care providing we win three more games. I have a very expensive bottle of wine bet with Risso resting on us winning those games. Ideally, I'd like to see us win the lot but despite what it says on our badge, we're not very prepared.
Saying that, if we can't beat Norwich tomorrow, we may as well give up.
-
Rudy can't fail
What's the other two
He quite likes Spanish Bombs and Bankrobber as well.
-
Given that even the respected football websites are referring to us as "Villa Nil", I fear the worst but hope for the best!
Oh, how very original
-
I do not post often on forecasts,
Desperate times, I just do not know who is going to score for us.
Naismith, and Hoolahan for them.
-
Kozak is injured.
Maybe Westwood and Sanchez fit.
Thought I'd seen he was back in training, but have since seen he's out for at least a month with an injured ankle. Good job we didn't bring in another striker in January!
-
I expect us to lose but better to fear the worst than expect the best.
In truth they are no better than us - certainly weren't at Carrow Road. Remember Wembley 75 and John Bond spouting off before hand. We may and it is a may just beat them tomorrow.
Looking forward to my day out in Brum.

The one recurring highlight of Lambert's tenure was that these became our bunnies.

As Norwich are barely championship standard time for Rudy to show his mettle and score a couple.

Don't know why especially with the weather being shit but I'm looking forward to today's game. If we want it more than them we can get 3 points . 100% behind garde and the team today..fuck hollis , fox, the recruitment chuckle brothers, Lerner, the press,the pundits,the noses and bitters and even fuck those companies that evade corporation tax. We are the claret and blue army and today we will be rocking.

Wasn't the weather shit when we beat Palace? It's an omen. Home win, OG keeper.
-
I've gone for a 2-1 win on my Super 6 thingy. Gabby and Sinclair for us. That chap who scored that back heel for them against Liverpool for Naaaaawrich.
-
3-0 Villa win that will keep alive our survival hopes.
-
We are fucking gone. A win against Norwich won't save us and its unlikely to happen anyway.
-
To have any small bit of hope we have to win today.

Yes and with the weather conditions being as they are there could be many errors on both sides. Shoot from anywhere and it's likely to skid off the grass at speed. Get Micah Richards,with his power, forward at every opportunity. I think Carles Gil could be the big factor for us today.
-
Assuming it's Gabby up front today, no Gestede, Ayew or Kozak.
-
Gobsmacked so many have gone for the win, who the bloody hell will score the goals?

Depressingly negative and totally accurate.

What the hell Norwich are not the best travellers, and if we can get on the front foot earlier on then I think there are defenisive weakinesses to exploit. So I will go for 2-1 home win! ;D Gil and Sinclair to get our goals.
-
Well it's a lovely day for it!

Yeah, but we've only won two all season. Its not going to happen now. I think our last chance was when we played Norwich and Sunderland over Christmas. Once we lost those games the game was up. However, I still want us to get some wins between now and the end of the season to get a bit of pride back and to at least go out on a high.

You could argue that people who accused the board of giving up had give up themselves a while ago.

True, but the board had the opportunity to at least try to do something about it, we didn't

Spot on. As a supporter I don't think there's anything wrong with being a realist. You still support the team of course.

Win today but yep we are gone. No chnace of staying up.
Sunderland and NAaaarwich fucked us up bad
-
We'll win today. And I reckon it'll be the start of something.
I'm just not saying what the something is, or whether it's good or bad.

OG.

That is why it is unforgivable that the board did not back Garde in the window and why thy must be removed come what May. They are as clueless as they are incompetent. Stick a striker in that side and we would have a real chance.
Look at the damage these clowns have done to the villa.It is heartbreaking.

Our league form hasn't been bad lately so i would have gone for the win against these but as we have no strikers i said draw.

a few more draws than defeats, 8 points from a possible 39, minus 12 gd and 1 win in 13 or a third of a season, we are still as shit as when garde arrived

Rarely dream about football but vividly recall last night us not getting another stone-wall penalty and a pitch invasion!

In the last nine league games, we've won 1 drawn 4 lost 4. In Sherwood's last nine games we lost 8, drew 1.
So clearly, in terms of results at least which is the method you've used to compare, while still shit we aren't as shit as when Garde arrived.

Bunn, Richards, Okore, Lescott, Cissokho, Bacuna, Gana, Westwood, Veretout, Gil, Agbonlahor

Very recent league form then. 1 win 2 draws and a defeat. Not bad as i said.
