Aston Villa v Norwich- Pre Match Thread

[DB]

1-2 to the cross eyed sister marrying inbreds after we take the lead, sit back and get passed off the park.  More fucking garbage from Lambert & Co.

Cheers John, I'll look fwd to watching it then!

This just has a 0-0 feel to it doesn't it? Mind you we're due a goal so I'll bump it up to 1-1. Gabby with our goal.

Got a suspicious view he'll play Holt in this

League Cup Final day, 1st weekend in March
Villa to beat Norwich 1-0 after a 79th minute penalty is pushed onto the post and Benteke slots in the rebound

I hope he does

Yes I was thinking the same earlier, I think Benteke should be dropped based on his attitude at Sid James Park

Norwich are one of the few who don't play a 5 man midfield. 4-4-2 for me, Gabby and Albrighton wide, Holt and Benteke up top, sling it under the nose of Ruddy, get Holt to give him a little bosh early doors and play good old up and at em football.

3 up after 40 minutes, 3-2 after 87 minutes.

Nervy, nervy last seven minutes.

I have a feeling we'll play utterly abysmally and lose three-nil but, like after the home trouncing by Wigan last year, we'll get better after this match.

I'd quite like us to get better for this one!

[Jimbo]

Another frustrating outing. 1-1.

[Mazrim]

I think that there will be an ugly atmosphere if we get mugged off with another shit performance at home this time.
I desperately hope it doesn't come to that.

3-1 win, I am home for this one, last few games I have made it home for have been dire so it has to change.

Think a change in formation at home is a must and we have got to take the game to them and look like we are trying to win even if that means taking risks. Albrighton should start and get those crosses going from the off. I see this being either a Bolton type disaster or a Sunderland type stroll.

I can't argue about his performance at St James Park but the problem with dropping Benteke is that he doesn't tend to be a particularly effective impact sub so you probably lose him completely for that game. We are well overdue giving someone a hiding and I hope it is Sunday but I will take any win. A draw and we will be booed off, a defeat and there is a chance it could be Lambert's Bolton game.
