Norwich City v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Only two days away*, so we might as well run this alongside the West Ham post-match thread.

(* and I'm already part way to Norwich)

it'll be interesting to see if anyone gets a rest for the game.

Maybe Clark will come in for Lescott

No idea on this one. Only thing you can say is with our error- prone defence we're not going to keep a clean sheet so its whether you see us getting an equalizer or 2....

I'm certainly not a Lescott fan, but, I have to say he played well today and, apparently he did well vrs Newcastle.
I'm wondering whether a 3-5-2 would help.

Naaarich 1-3 Villa

Rosario for them. Well he is always off form.
Gray, Gray and Gray for us.

[Chris Jameson]

2-0 to Norwich, no idea who will score as I can only think of three Norwich players off the top of my head. So two from Redmond, Brady and Hoolahan.

[darren woolley]

Another draw 0-0.

[Malandro]

We are going to win. No problem.

[andyh]

Today we missed a huge chance to put these lot under pressure. The gap could have been 7 and down to 4 with a win on Monday.
Sadly we didn't.
I think another draw will keep the gap at 9 and kill off any lingering hopes.

1-1.

[footyskillz]

Absolute massive match. Biggest game of the season. This is win at all costs. Its really a case that a win here can gather momentum.
If look at harry Kane getting thru and scoring feel there's hope for ayew to get a goal or two as Norwich seem to enjoy backing off.
Lets say 0-2 villa. Please win, please!!

I think he will select
.        Guzan
Hutton/bacuna okore Clark/richardson
 veretout Westwood
 sinclair  gestede ayew  gill

[ozzjim]

I can see Richardson starting with Bacuna moved into midfield if Sanchez is out.

Apart from that, I would go again. Sort of side Gestede might get some joy against.

[West Derby Villan]

Villa win, the start of the miraculous revival which will be talked about for years to come. VTID

[Goldie.7]

Two teams that ain't about that clean sheet life. This should be fun

Going to go for something crazy like....

3-3

[CT Villan]

This is the long awaited win...confidence will be up and we will score early to pile the pressure on Norwich, then add another on the counter, 0-2.

Assuming Richards and Sanchez are out we'll start...

Guzan
Hutton  Okore  Lescott  Bacuna
Westwood  Gana
Gil  Veretout  Ayew
Gestede

Traore will get 3 mins at the end.

I will take that.

(and whatever you have had).
