Norwich City Vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[andyh]

The thing is, it’s always going to be a team that resembles a Bruce team because that’s the squad we have.
However, the difference will be be the way we are set up, and the way we approach the game.

That just has to be  million percent better than a couple of weeks ago.

I imagine with us playing again on Friday that he's resting Barney.

[JUAN PABLO]

Whelan will have a stormer now

I imagine with us playing again on Friday that he's resting Barney.

Yep makes sense to me.

[Malandro]

No Bolasie on bench either ! ?

Injured.






PTSD.

[Sexual Ealing]

Hmmmmmm.

The system is the same as Saturday. I like rotating the DM midfield position. Maybe would have picked Jedinak instead of BB is fatigued.

i know he hit a hot streak last season, and he appears to be a lovely bloke, but I just don't believe in Adomah.

[four fornicholl]

Run them ragged Villa, 3-0.

[Fred Crump]

We’re going to really have to be on it at set pieces tonight- a chance to see what Tuanzebe is made of. I hope he does well as I thought he was excellent on Saturday

[Damo70]

I don't think you can read anything into the line ups from Saturday to tonight to Friday. With three games in seven days surely he was always going to shuffle the pack a couple of times. Also, it is an ideal chance to give different players a chance to impress him. Whatever his opinions from the outside looking in I am sure he will have learnt a lot more about what he has inherited by the end of this week after seeing them in training and three games.

[itmustbe_it is!]

To be honest I'm not going to comment on the team selection at all for a week or two. What Deano says is fine by me. He's clearly setting the team up differently which is what I wanted, not sure the personnel was the problem before it was the tactics.

Press them , then press them some more . That'll do it for me

[Lastfootstamper]

Use the squad, keep the energy levels high in the middle of the pitch.

No complaints from me.

[garyshawsknee]

Im not Whelan biggest fan, but Smith did comment about energy levels at the end of the Swansea game, so I can understand him freshening things up, especially if McGinn is missing. It's important that we use the ball better for longer, in Dean we trust.

[Monty]

Yeah I'm not going to comment on the team selection until we actually see them play, because we have no idea how these players will respond to DS's ideas. BB looked like a man transformed on Saturday, for instance, and Elmo at right wing, a selection that looked especially Brucey, was good and set up the goal. So I'm withholding judgement for now!

[jwarry]

Listening to the pre match garb I didn’t realise Norwich are the form team I’m the league. If we get a result out of this draw or otherwise then we can safely say we are on our way

[Percy McCarthy]

Whelan’s reward for getting him the job?
