Aston Villa v Norwich City pre-match thread

[alanclare]

Us to win, Sheff Utd to win the title. Delia to steam on the pitch drunk.

She has got previous:

Delia Steaming

[ADVILLAFAN]

Would like to give Chester a run out, if he's available.

Steer
Chester
Elphick
Hutton
Hause (if fit)
Jedinak
Barney
Lansbury
Green
Ramsay
Davis

[Deano's Mullet]

Think we will be half strength and get beat. At least it won't affect our league position.

[Ads]

I would play:

Steer

Hause
Mings
Tuaznebe
Elmo

Whelan
Landsbury
Hourihane

El Ghazi
Tammy
Green

McGinn left out the squad completely and Jack on the bench.

I don’t care who we put out as long as Hutton comes on at some point.

I fancy us to win 2-0 and then go onto beat Albion and Leeds.

[RichardBatchelor]

I shall go for a barmy end of season 3-3.

The final game at home in 1990 was on 28/04 against Norwich, and ended 3-3.

McGrath, Platt, Cascarino for us
Mountfield (og), Fox, Rosario for them.

That was horrible being on the Holte thinking how close we had been to winning the title.

That's where I got my inspiration from, I was on the Holte as well I can still feel the title drifting away, was Mountfields OG a chip over his own keeper (Spink?).

I remember the feeling when it went in, but for the life of me I can't picture the goal itself. Norwich time-wasting virtually from the off, I remember that. When it kicked off, we could still win the league. A week later, we finished runners-up by 9 points, wasn't it? Made it look not as close a race as it had been.

Yeah, absolutely that about the 9 pt gap. To be fair, I remember my Scouse mate saying exactly the same thing, that it had basically gone to wire and the final gap was ridiculous - was the same in 93 when Manyoo won by a similar margin but it had seemed really tight for ages (think we lost the last three). I was at that 3-3 against Naarwich, we played really well actually but with a couple of terrible defensive lapses. God scored.

I would play:

Steer

Hause
Mings
Tuaznebe
Elmo

Whelan
Landsbury
Hourihane

El Ghazi
Tammy
Green

McGinn left out the squad completely and Jack on the bench.

I'd go along with that but with maybe Davis instead of Tammy.

Green, El Ghazi, Davis is a pretty potent strike force.

[Risso]

Green, El Ghazi, Davis is a pretty potent strike force.

As long as you don't expect any goals to be scored.

[QuintonVilla]

Taylor, Elmo, Mings, Tuanzebe, McGinn, Grealish, El Ghazi, Kodjia, Abraham. All should be rested as we can't afford injuries to any of those. Doesn't bear thinking about having to go into the play offs with Hutton playing or without Mings and Tuanzebe.

[robbo1874]

Who cares? I’d rest the key players for the semis.
Doubt he will though. Breather for everyone ahead of the Semis.
Just don’t lose.

Green, El Ghazi, Davis is a pretty potent strike force.

Is that Andre or your good self ?

I reckon Brian would be much more use than Andre has of late.

[Dazvillain]

Is it a red button option on sky ?

[pauliewalnuts]

Don't suppose anyone knows if the club shop is open after the match tomorrow?

Can't find answer on OS.
