Aston Villa vs Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

[cheltenhamlion]

2-1 Villa with Gabby producing one of his biannual decent performances. Fancy a Veretout goal as well.

[Richard E]

1-1.

We make a good start and then concede a goal which is soft, controversial or both. We equalise fairly late in the second half but never really look like getting a winner.

And repeat...

Given that even the respected football websites are referring to us as "Villa Nil", I fear the worst but hope for the best!

[Chris Smith]

Surely 'respected football websites' is an oxymoron.

[achilles]

Basically if Villa don't win this game at home against probably the second worse team in the PL, then I can't see Villa winning another game this season!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We're going to win a further 3 games, tomorrow will be one of them.

[Mister E]

Tomorrow may well be the day when the January inactivity comes home to roost ... unless we actually win!

I don't know and don't care providing we win three more games. I have a very expensive bottle of wine bet with Risso resting on us winning those games. Ideally, I'd like to see us win the lot but despite what it says on our badge, we're not very prepared.

Saying that, if we can't beat Norwich tomorrow, we may as well give up.

He quite likes Spanish Bombs and Bankrobber as well.

Oh, how very original

[steamer]

I do not post often on forecasts,
Desperate times, I just do not know who is going to score for us.
Naismith, and Hoolahan for them.

[tomd2103]

Kozak is injured.
Maybe Westwood and Sanchez fit.

Thought I'd seen he was back in training, but have since seen he's out for at least a month with an injured ankle.  Good job we didn't bring in another striker in January!

[wittonwarrior]

I expect us to lose but better to fear the worst than expect the best.

In truth they are no better than us - certainly weren't at Carrow Road.  Remember Wembley 75 and John Bond spouting  off before hand.  We may and it is a may just beat them tomorrow.

Looking forward to my day out in Brum.

The one recurring highlight of Lambert's tenure was that these became our bunnies.
