Nice to see some youngsters getting a chance on the bench!

Yes two ways of looking at it.  5 of the 9 are 20 and under which is a huge testimony to our youth set up, alternatively it could mean we are down to the bare bones

What sort of half arsed way is that to start the match thread?! If we lose, I'm blaming Kippax! ;)

I think we've got away quite lightly Covid-wise by the looks of things, only really Sanson missing who you'd perhaps want to play.

We should still have enough and expect a change for young around 60 mins

There's knowing players, and then there's having the players to stop them at your new club.

"Don't worry about McGinn lads, he'll sit in the two in front of the defence being largely ineffective."

"But boss, isn't Gerrard playing him in a proper midfield 3, where's he's been fantastic?"

"Has he? Bugger!"

Yeah - but all the time in the pre-match analysis when he told them not to worry about Sanson was pretty sound

It’s a real shame that Sanson isn’t playing because I’m fairly sure he would be busting a gut to prove Smithy wrong. I hope Emi Buendia does the same for us as he did regularly for Norwich too. Just win please Villa. No benevolence at all.

To be fair to Dean Smith it was when SJM couldn't stop scoring for Scotland that Dean decided to play him further forward, i.e. in his best position. We have Steve Clark to thank more than anybody.

I think we're looking a bit unbalanced, all our attacks are coming down our right. Targett is a spectator on the left touchline. Cash's crossing hasn't amounted to much so let's try down the left for a change.

Norwich are abysmal, Smith’s got no chance there.

They're a poor squad but they're already showcasing many of the hallmarks of Smith's (lack of) management - low press, poor in transition, acres of space between midfielders for teams to pass through. It feels like we are playing the role of the kind of team that beat us too many times over the last few years.
