Aston Villa vs Derby Match Thread

[AstonThriller]

The boys know what they need to do. Just win the game and let the chips fall where they may In Hull. If Cardiff don't get the win then everything will go to the last day. Derby had a tough game on Tuesday so we should have superior fitness over them as the game goes on. But them getting that big win should give them a boost of confidence so it could turn out to be a tough affair.

Terry, Kodjia and Hutton should all be back fit for this one so It's gonna be interesting to see what the team Is. It's amazing how many games we've won In Terry's absence this season (around six or seven and we haven't lost many either).

Apparently it's a sellout too so should be a good atmosphere for the game.


COME ON VILLA!!!

Games don't come bigger than this, a win puts us in the melting pot for the last game of the season if results are kind elsewhere. I'm sure that every member of the squad will know what is expected of them, the match is a sellout and EVERY ONE of those Villa fans will be up for the win, what a combination can't wait, just make it happen UTV.

It’s not over until the fat lady sings. Great night here in Toronto by the way.

Really could do with a big victory tomorrow to help with our goal difference relative to Fulham's. Just our luck that Derby get their confidence back before playing us.

We need to beat them 6-0 and start the others quaking.

Luck not on our side today. Getting into the all the right spaces except the back of their net.

Derby looked on the front foot after scoring but less so towards the break. Hopefully they've shot their load early and the second half will be ours.

Good to see Hutton on, shame for Taylor (as it is for anyone to go off injured) but I'm not sad to not have him on the pitch in all honesty.

How did that header from Kjodia stay out ? - it actually hits the underside of the bar.
Never bean a fan of Onamah - but he looked great when he came on today - he seemed to have the vision to pick a pass.

Didn't think much of Adomah today thought he was very wasteful with the ball - don't think he is 100% fit myself. But overall a good performance today - on another day we would have run out comfortable winners - I do worry about how we seem to flounder with that final ball though.

Well that puts to bed once and for all the Auto spot for us.

Just noticed that more people have posted in the guess the crowd thread, than the actual match thread...

I was busy with the kids' joint 4 and 2 year old birthday party, believe me I'd rather have been following the Villa game! I didn't even get to go on the bouncy castle as there were 36 little horrors piling all over it.

Yes, I think a lot have lost interest for the moment, it's just a case of waiting for the play-offs, should actually be a busy summer with those, the world cup, and then the off the field stuff as i imagine we'll be making a lot of changes whichever division we find ourselves in.
