Match thread: Norwich v Villa 04.10.2019

This is one of those games which could blow up in our faces, Norwich according to reports have a massive injury crisis, so everyone me included start thinking we can do this easy buts lets not forget when they played Man city they had similar problems, City were poor and got a tanking, we can't afford to be sloppy as we need the points. I'm pretty sure DS will have us sorted BUT you never know, we just need to sort out our lapses in concentration IMO we are close but not close enough, but having said that I'm going to be optimistic and say a one nil win to us with the goal coming from SJM but it could also come from Trez because he has been knocking on the door recently and he only needs a goal to spark him IMO.

Slim margins in this one, will be a nervy and probably scrappy 90mins but I believe we can nick it.

I'm going to say 0-2 to Villa, but no goals til the last 10mins.

Scrappy and sloppy from both teams but Norwich looking much less capable of exploiting. A fun anything can happen game, in a way.

Very good win, good to see Wesley get a couple and Hourihane for all the stick he gets always comes up with assists and goals, difficult to leave him out of the side really. Good feeling to be going into the international break outside of the relegation zone.

There is usually a come-down after a big win isn't there? Team doesn't try so hard the next game. Norwich just beat Man City 3-1.

International break may help us cool off before we go again.

Nice win pity about not keeping a clean sheet, well it's off to the international break,

[Saunders82]

That was very comprehensive some good passing and movement, pity there was still some sloppiness at times, we move on. UTV

Well I was very wrong with my prediction. We weren't fantastic but we definitely bossed 'em which should be good for confidence. Don't care about the injuries they had going into the game, we take the wins and if we get the chance to go big on the scoreline it doesn't matter.

Yes shame about not keeping a clean sheet but I think the sun played 12th man for Norwich in that moment and no way would Heaton have gaffed that pass back without the sun in his eyes as the ball came down.

They had some injuries but eight of their players that started and finished their win against Man City also started today's game, so it wasn't quite the injury crisis some have been making out.

Indeed, nothing like a bit of "false narrative" to support their rationalisation of failure!
