Raymond Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am not counting chickens and it is certainly possible Derby beat us, but today could not have gone much better for our chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted May 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2019 Let's not get carried away, there was a time we were delighted to get Bradford in a cup semi. Derby have more than enough to beat us if we don't show up. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Ffs the gods are favouring us arent they? Its not hyperbole to say that considering where we were in March, to be 90 minutes away from promotion must make this one of the most memorable Villa seasons of all-time IF it has a happy ending. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted May 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2019 Deffo prefer Derby over Leeds. I think it will be a better final as a spectacle now as well, should be good football from both sides if the occasion doesn't get too big for the players. If Smith can get them to relax and express themselves then we should be able to give this a very good go, one off game so anything can happen but I think we might be favourites now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jareth Posted May 15, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2019 Big fan of Derby after that, nice bunch of lads in interviews - the EXACT opposite of Leeds who thought they secured promotion two weeks into the season. Right I'm going to find a Leeds forum to offer them our 'experiences' of failure in play-offs from last season. The utter C**** 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 This is probably our best chance for promotion, but also it's entirely possible we can throw it away if we don't turn up on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit Dean Smith, who according to you should have been fired, has got further than your dream manager. That is all kinds of brilliant. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never get a chance like this. Come on you Villa boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely spot on! Keogh is an absolute donkey and Cole should have retired to a beach apartment in the states. With Cole at right back, maybe Green or Adomah may finally beat a full back! Derby did well to beat Leeds but let's face it, Wigan and Ipswich have beaten them recently and without Kemar Roofe they are beatable. They're a bunch of cheats and I would have feared them more simply because of their physical attitude in games and their ability to cheat the refs. Derby will be a more traditional game and Villa should have less of a pace attack to go at us, a slower defence for us to go at and be more open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I think universally Villa fans wanted Derby rather than Leeds. I’ve seen quite a bit of Derby this year, and that is the best they have played - aggressive without going over the top, and courageous and confident on the ball. We are confident because we have beaten them twice this season, however Leeds did the same and look what happened tonight. This is very much a 50/50 game for me. Both teams are capable of blitzing eachother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 All about us. We'll prepare well and bring a performance. Not complacency but we'll see more of the ball against Derby but hey have to give them their fair dues. It will be a test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our stumble against the Baggies and our failure in the Final last year will be a big enough wake up call for the team to not get complacent this time around.
