Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Just home

that new dual carriageway section near Thetford has made a hell of a difference to run run back towards Cambridge. I was across to Milton Keynes by just after 7

[holte hero]

Absolute fuckin garbage how can you blame Remi, answers on a stamp please??

[brian green]

Just home. That team is worse than any Villa team I have seen since the days of Division 3. Everybody knew once the team was announced that it was more total negativity from the manager.
My son put his finger on it as we walked from the ground. We have never had so many genuinely bad players in the team. Not players who are not as good as our better players, just plain, simple useless incompetent players. Bacuna, Richardson, Guzan, Clark, Westwood, Sinclairand Gestede.  Seven of our team are just piss poor football players. To make matters worse they make no effort to correct their endless stupid mistakes. My worst man of the match would have to go to Remi Garde. That man has to stop listening to what people tell him and use his eyes. What other manager would have players of the ability of Traore and Grealish and give them half an hour pitch time between them in a must win game.

Didn't go to the game, but listened on the radio.  Initial thought on hearing the team announcement was one of bewilderment.  I thought we had been building a bit of momentum over the past couple of weeks, so why go and make major changes to the defence?  Also hearing the Norwich fans singing "you're f@cking sh&t" towards the end just about summed it up.  Fans of Norwich f@cking City.   

To be honest, if we were a boxer our corner would be getting ready to throw in the towel.

I don't blame Garde for the situation we are in, I do blame him for that selection.
I do blame him for waiting so long to change it.

Yes, but he consistently starts with a poor negative formation, and lo and behold he's forced into changes, but most times its too late. Just rank bad management and team selection. Why drop Lescott and Okore? Utter stupidity.

[nodge]

Okore was injured with a swollen knee apparently.

Today, Villa lost to a team that plays Cameron Jerome up front week in week out, and rested him today.

We're the worst team in the league (not worst squad. They have talent but they don't seem to give a shit)

The most painful thing is going to be waiting for the inevitable mathematical conclusion week in week out, hoping we can dodge the freight train careering towards us.

[Clampy]

I thought we were awful. Their game plan seemed to be was to close us down, win the second ball and try and wind up Ayew and apart from him not losing his rag, it worked. One header apart, we offered nothing.

[Des Little]

It's over. We didn't trouble a shit team one iota. I'd honestly start planning for next year now. Get rid of whoever we can/wants to go in Jan and give the kids a chance (not all at once obviously). This mob are stinking the ground out with every passing week.

[Clampy]

Garde out! Get Moyes or Pearson now! At least they'd have the January window.

Perfect opportunity to get Moyes in and we weren't interested. He'd demand a proper PL budget that's why.

See you keep saying that, but you haven't even tried to produce any evidence for it.

We've been snapping up the cheaper options for nearly 6 years now. Have you not noticed the clues along the way?

That's still not evidence of anything regarding Moyes, though, is it?

It's about opinion isn't it?

No, it's really really not. You're making a statement of fact based entirely on just what you reckon.

And SH, you said yourself a month or two back, even if he had brought Moyes in and we had continued to struggle, you'd have carried on blaming Lerner anyway.

[frank]

I felt rather envious of the happy Gooners on the tube this evening. We have months of unhappiness ahead and after relegation there will be no certainty at all that we'll be back in the near future. The situation feels a lot more desperate than in 1987 and this time l think it's very unlikely that Lerner and Fox will be able to persuade a Graham Taylor to come to the rescue. Do they even know what they're looking for?

I also envied the Norwich fans I overheard as I left the ground: "20 points, half way to safety."

Don't know if I have the stomach to even tune into the Sunderland match. If we thought today's team selection was bad then God forbid on Saturday minus Ayew, Sanchez still, Okore, Westwood.

Wouldnt worry. It cant be much worse than today

At least we will have Sissokho back! Oh joy.
