Match Day Thread Norwich City v Aston Villa

I think it's whoever has the least bad injury plays!

 

This is good to know. But it's still McGovern....why is my glass not half-fuller?

Well, I don't care what the score is today - I'll be staying until the final whistle and cheering our team off the pitch!!!

 

You don't care ?

 

I think JMF meant 'whatever the score' he'll cheer, Dunc.

DF's article features attack as the best form of defence in the current injury situation:

"Farke's depleted squad beating Manchester City in those circumstances makes it clear that they can beat another of the promoted sides when Aston Villa arrive in Norfolk. That came down to a highly-motivated display though, brimming with determination, desperation and clinical decision making. Let's hope City managed to bottle some of that special spirit, as it will be needed again."

That's exactly what is needed, a sort of Dunkirk mentality of digging deep to keep the yellow wall on side with unrelenting pressure on the Villa goal, but moreover keeping possession to deny it to Villa.

Exactly what you say in your first sentence Rick

 

Win lose or draw you will be cheering until the end

 

Big test today. A little worried.

More injury news in the lead up.

Need a point or 3 today, because we are doing nothing away. Time to shut up some doubters boys!

McGovern is going to need to show what he's got.

 

Welcome back FML - we were about to get a search party together!!!

A draw or better today would be FANTASTIC, but it's going to be a tough ask with SOOO many injuries to key players and also those who would normally deputise.

 

Who will deputise McGlovern?

 

Mair

 

Let's hope he's not needed for a night game!

The last thing we want is a night Mair

 

Hope the main course goes a bit better than the entrée! {gulp}

 

He could be a nightMair for the opposition strikers!

Glass half full!

 

I don't know whether it's bloody minded optimism or the fact that we have so many players out it is all rather ridiculous, I don't know I think we will win this one.

 

Famewo on the bench with Idah and Mair

 

Good team under circumstances

 

Last season, we'd have considered that a pretty strong lineup
