Aston Villa vs Derby County Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Last home game of the regular season. Full house. Villa Park looking resplendent. Home win and everyone can go into the playoffs with some optimism.

[Richard]

strong team and bench

[Axl Rose]

Bit harsh on Onomah. He played very well last week.

Still, 3-1 to us.

[Toronto Villa]

Good to see TSC back albeit on the bench.

[Villa Lew]

Would have chosen Onomah for Hourihane, otherwise happy with team, strong bench.

[Malandro]

Rest them Bruce, ya twonk.

[Toronto Villa]

[brontebilly]

Likely to be our playoff starting team. Would always worry about the lack of mobility in a Whelan and Hourihane midfield two. Is BB injured? Surprised to see Lansbury on bench ahead of him if not.

[Toronto Villa]

We've won three straight and have great momentum. I can see maybe resting a couple but with a few games left I like that he's keeping it together to build on the chemistry and form. And there are players on the bench like Hutton, Kodjia, Jedinak and even Onomah that can step in.

And if push comes to shove we always have Samba to call on.

Thor is out injured.

Thor is out injured.

Shame. We've looked far more mobile with him in the side, and we seem to connect plays better because he gets about into different areas. That in my opinion is where he adds the most value vs our other CM's.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah you don't do wholesale resting, because they need to be match sharp for the playoffs.

Agreed. Calf problem.

How was Gabby's farewell received?
