Aston Villa vs Derby Pre Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

So...Jack to start or off the bench to drive us to victory?

I’ll go for 3-1 Villa - Jack to have a hand in both goals after the game is headed for a 1-1 draw

Derby have had a dip, they need to play a team who will help them out a bit.

I was thinking just that after they lost last night!

Carroll is fit so would expect him to come in for Hooly or Whelan

It's my first match since 'Boro away and with the news about Grealish and Carroll I have suddenly become rather optimistic. Perhaps I can stand there and wonder what all the misery was about?

Fantastic. I took my lad to his first game earlier in the season and all he does now is pester me to go again.  Hope they win for you, but no doubt the atmosphere will be enough.

Villa 4 (Boulding, Shelton, McAvennie, Deakin) Derby 0

I'm thinking it's the other way round for a change, getting to play Derby just as their annual implosion kicks into overdrive.

We can but hope...and then when we come up against Forest in a couple of weeks hopefully MON's "shit March" law will kick into effect.

Soon be on the beach lads.

How old is your son Ads?

Cheers gents. He will be 4 at the end of April. Ever since he got a couple of Villa polo shirts and hats for Christmas he's been agitating like crazy to come. The ticket came in the post when we got back from nursery and his little face! He's clutching the receipt like ticket and I just hope we don't disappoint him.
