I Can see us scoring a few though. Of course, that's the plan. No matter how we play, watching Villa run around is like ice cream for the eyes. When we play well, it is like strawberry twist with a chocolate ripple, but mostly this season it has been cat turd with broken glass sprinkles. But hey, its still ice cream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo and Adomah offer more defensively than say El G, Baller and Kodj, so don’t expect any of those 3 to start. The only other choice would be Hourihane or Whelan? I’d go Hourihane. Would take a point, but a win would be fantastic. Think 1-1 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We deserve a win here as already stated they have been a bit of a bogey team to us over the years. It will be a tight one here but I see us just edging this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 Norwich are due a loss aren’t they. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us edge this game and come away with much needed 3 points. It’ll be interesting to see how Smith has us set up, and witness is retaining possession from throw ins.

John Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 In 1975 after a last game of the season 4-1 win at Carrow Road our then and now late chairman said that we would bring our first team next time (we did 4 months later and lost 5-3). We have won 5 times at Norwich in the league since then and have drawn 7. We have been defeated on our last three visits to Norfolk, having lost half of our 24 league visits there since that 1975 promotion season for both clubs so they have had the better of these fixtures. In all they have 16 home wins and have had 6 home defeats in their league games against us. Their ground is clearly almost as tough a nut to crack for us as Villa Park is for them (where they have recorded only 3 league wins). Both clubs were managed by Villa legend Ron Saunders and we met at Wembley in the 1975 League Cup Final. We can go above them in the league table with a win tonight and we owe them one after last season's costly defeat. A draw would be an acceptable outcome but a win would be better. Make it so you Villa boys! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 This is a tough game probably our toughest so far. But what a way to make a statement by winning this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much of a problem those easy dropped points were earlier in the season. Edited October 23, 2018 by Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 Can't see anything but a loss here. The reality of our shocking back line will slap us in the face I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Think they'll be more than just McGinn for Hourihane. He might be looking at rotating the team a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 what a difference a couple of weeks makes... prior to the international break i was looking forward to this one like a trip to the dentist for an extraction without any anaesthetic !!!! now with Dean Smith here and a win last Saturday i say bring it on.... even if we end up losing i cant see it as being as dire as it has been. It will inevitably be a step forward in Smith implementing his ideas and ways into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
