The Play Off Final Thread 2019
- Thread starter The Fear
- Start date
I'll never make the ticket criteria as I just haven't been able to get to enough games. So had a quick look at what's selling online. The Club seats are £300+but the ones in the Villa section are more expensive than those in the Derby section. Obviously supply and demand. I'll keep searching although I don't deserve one! Have been to Wembley 8 times to watch the Villa so I can't moan! The only one missing from my collection is the FA Cup.
As said, 10 of the team picks itself, really , the only question is Green / Adomah / Kodjia - I also agree, for all I love Alberts never give up attitude, Green's promise - they just have not earned the right. Koj adds that Je Ne Sais Pa - and also a goal threat, and I think I would go with him.
Conor to start, Glen to come on to shore it up if needed.
The rest, barring injuries, are no brainers. I am bemused when I read that Taylor needs dropping for Hause - why ?. Granted, Taylor is not the long term answer, and what-ever division we are in, I expect Hause to be at Left back in August, but since January, Taylor has been utterly outstanding, has never been involved in costing goals or chances, and has been Mr Dependable.
To ask for him to be dropped at this stage is utter bizarre.
One interesting thing, just reading Crouch's book on holiday. He states Lampard used to practice 10 penalties at the end of every training session - so you can bet your bottom dollar Derby will be prepared for that better than the Albion were

Sorry but that's nonsense. Cant be bothered checking more, but off the top of my head I remember him giving the ball away for Bristol City to score a few games ago. He gave it away plenty at home to Baggies as well, they just chose not to attack when they had it.
I'm 50/50 on whether Taylor or Hause should play myself. Dont like changing things when we are on a good run, but he is the weak link that teams try to expose IMO.

Its simple really, its just who keeps their bottle on the day. Past results, the semis, it all goes out the window. It is, who freezes, who don't. Look at last year, you would have put money on the likes of Snoddy and Terry taking it in their stride, but they froze, and really everyone did, bar Jack.
Same could happen this year, but last years experience should help you would have thought..
Also, Derby have had nothing to lose last night and played like all the pressure was on Leeds. Who knows how they will handle it.
God knows, all I know is I am looking forward to Villa Derby a hell of a lot more than i was Villa Leeds.
