[Legion]

Available Saturday afternoon.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Jenas on bench, no place for Wee Barry, looks like will be same team as last week...Shock horror

[Shrek]

VILLA: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Petrov, Herd, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Bent

[eastie]

Would much prefer to see jenas , ireland or bannan in midfield rather than heskey who works hard enough but has nothing like the ball control or passing required to play in that position.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh well come on you Villa boys.

[Phil from the upper holte]

It's like bein back under mon, you know the team before its announced

[berneboy]

Norwich v Villa: Ruddy, Martin, Johnson, Morrison, Holt, Pilkington, Houlihan, Bennett, Barnett, Tierney, Naughton. Subs: Rudd, Crofts, Jackson, Surman, Fox, Wilbraham, Delaet.

And dread it. Because of Heskey and the right back in both cases!

[Compass]

This is why the attendence will probably be sub 30k today. Just look at that lineup. It's set up not to win.

McLeish has a record of 1 win out in the last 9 games with us for a reason. He is a clueless man. Don't eliminate the possiblity of relegation just yet.

[Toronto Villa]

Come on McLeish. Pick a more attacking team. At least under Houllier he'd mix it up a little. Not suprised about Bannan being left out, nor about Jenas on the bench as I'm sure he'll play a part. But give Carlos a bit of time, or Ciaran. Anyway, let's hope for the best here.

[johncvilla88]

What a joke sack Mccleish no forwards on the bench! Where's Weimann or Delfouneso! Might of well left Weimann on loan @ Watford

[eastie]

Dare i say it seems a team set up to go out and not lose rather than a team set up to go all out for a win.
Little in the way of creative flair and could be a game of few chances for us , lets hope bent puts them away today if he gets any, long time since ive seen villa park so empty at 2.45.

[Mister E]

Doesn't fill me with much hope; I'll watch anyway but it could be ugly. Norwich should not be underestimated.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Anyone got any links to the game?

[eamonn]

If we don't concede a Grant Holt header I'll be pleasantly surprised.
