Aston Villa v Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

[St AustellAVFC]

1-1. A boring, non imaginative performance. Us to take the lead via the penalty spot and Norwich to level midway through second half. Bruce's last game the big useless tosser.

The same clueless sluggish shite.   Who cares anymore.

Narrow defeat.

Please drop Whelan. He's just an older, slower version of Westy

Unfortunately that's actually a fairly accurate description. Absolutely no idea why Bruce signed him.

Injuries + rock bottom morale  + clueless manager = 0-2

[JUAN PABLO]

how many times as Bruce got a victory when we have gone 1-0 behind?

The same amount of times that he's produced scintillating football that got fans on their feet and hopeful of a future under him. Which is also the same amount of times my arse has spoken to me and advised me to give Bruce more time.

[Three Spires Villa]

Gone for an edgy, nervy 1-0 win. i know, i know, they are bobbins, so are we. Nothing to back this up, just a jammy Steve Bruce win

[ASHTONVILLA]

My Nan was from Norfolk. Had a Villa season ticket for years and still cheered for the Canaries when we played them. Obviously I still want us to win, but if we lose and Bruce gets potted I will still enjoy the day.

Cracks papered over.

It is beginning to look more and more like another illogical signing.  He signed him and then decided to play 4-4-2, which it's becoming quite obvious that he has no longer got the legs for.  For what it's worth, I think he would be fine sitting in front of the defence in a 3 man midfield.

I just can't see where the goals are going to come from, with or without Hogan. 

[AVH87]

1-0 Villa. One of the youngsters gets a chance and takes it (RHM or Davis).

[manic-road]

1-1 with one goodish half and one appalling half.
