Aston Villa v Norwich Match Thread

I said Watkins would score today. He's great against teams that are liable to make mistakes.

[kippaxvilla2]

There you go, they made a mistake.  God finish though

It was an unholy error.

[jwarry]

Glad it was Williams who fucked up after crocking Bailey

[Toronto Villa]

Ah, joy, the proven-not-to-work Ings and Watkins.

I say as Ings passes to Watkins who scores.

Ha!! Nothing like being made to look a mug a matter of seconds. That's not the first time we've seen Ings make superb long passes like that. Ball to Bailey vs Everton and the cross field pass for Cash at Leeds come to mind

[Scott Nielsen]

That was a superb individual goal by Ollie

Some pass too.

[Nelly]

Maybe we should play Ings in midfield? He can pick a pass better than the others there.

I am going to try to do similar again in the second half.

[Axl Rose]

A goal.

Somewhat of a miracle as we've looked so dreary and flat.

Bailey getting injured is no surprise-he looks slow, weak, uninterested.

A bit of urgency second half please, Villa.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I been thinking all half we don't look comfortable with crosses into the box. It's an area we should be dominating.

[curiousorange]

I make that three wins and a draw needed for Burnley to catch us, as it stands, because of the goal difference.

[paul_e]

How was that a free kick against Tim?

[jwarry]

How was that a free kick against Tim?

And why the hell is having a word with him?!?

[paul_e]

Fair play to Ings asking the ref why he didn't give him a free kick after the Tim one.

[CT Villan]

Decent finish to a poor 1st half. Unbelievable that we were outplayed by Norwich for periods there.

[brontebilly]

Goal aside it has been really poor. Players give the impression they are looking forward to their holidays. Great ball from Ings and Watkins finished it very well. One decent shot by Bailey but that aside nothing to write home about. Norwich have nothing about them.

Also I really have no idea what Digne offers. Weak and one paced. Gets the ball in good areas but delivers nothing of note ever.
