Norwich City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[devilla]

2 - 1 to us, Lambert will know how to exploit their weaknesses and they just won't be able to handle The Beast.

Scorers - The Beast and Vlaar with a 50 yard screamer.

Baggies will turn Wigan over - I think Figueroa is a big loss for them for the rest of the season.

Best quoteI saw about Wigan

They are like most uni students I know.  Do fucking nothing all year, and when it comes to the hand-in, work solid and dig themselves out the shit.

Ha good analogy. I'm a bit like that at work to be honest. Can't get motivated til a deadline is looming

That photo really is extraordinary.

I think he's jumped and met the ball at about 12 feet/3metres +. Going by the heights of the other players and the fact that they are off the ground. Stunning.

1-3 win.

Especially when you consider it was quite late in the game, too, and he had every right to feel a bit leggy.

[silhillvilla]

My confidence is what's worrying me the most tbh.

Understandably, I think I can smell the faint whiff of over confidence.

I trust Lambert has the team's feet on the ground.

I hope Lambert hasn't got the team's feet on the ground.

Well not this particular member anyway.

The expressions on Cuellar and Osheas faces says it all

We have to hang on to him till the 2016 Olympics.

A draw for both worselvees and Wigwam. 1-1 in both games looks a decent bet. 

As you were, but leaves Wigan with even fewer games to turn it around.

You mean so we can enter him for the high-jump?

2-1 Norwich. I think a draw would be a decent point if Wigan, Sunderland and newcastle all lose...

But i agree with that adrenalin quote from above. the team will be on a high but its how they handle themselves on Saturday. norwich will undoubtedly have more of the ball so we hopefully won't be too impatient in trying to force it. also, the defence still need to remember they are always prone to a goal conceding mistake so don't get too cocky on the ball too early on.

I don't think they will, I think we will edge/ monopolise possession in the game.

We may do, but last time we were in this position next up was Fulham at home. When there's been a glimmer of light we've managed to mess up the next game. Lets see what they are like on Saturday.

So do you still think we're gonna get relegated?

[Matt Collins]

Norwich haven't lost at home since before Xmas, but they've drawn a lot too. I really think we can win this with our firepower, but it may well be a draw.

That would edge us closer to safety, but I really do want a win. Wigan would definitely take the option of having to beat us on the final day to stay up. If they can match our result this weekend, then beat Swansea, they probably will be in that position. If they do better than us this weekend, then we're right in it still

I don't think they will match our result if we win and I think we will win.

Figueroa is a big loss for them and now Chelsea are in the final of the Europa League, hopefully Benitez will rest a few for our game against them which is the Saturday before the final. Of course, he may not do that if their top 4 place hasn't been secured by then but I can't see the current top 4 changing.

[Matt Collins]

I agree if we win tomorrow it would take some combination of results to take us down.

If we draw, I'd still back us to stay up but I think it will go to the final day unless Wigan implode.

[l_mckay]

Lets just bloody win tomorrow and hopefully wigan will loose and we can all relax,had enough of theses nervous games now
