I'll be in Birmingham until 5pm, then I'm heading to Wembley to bring a load of elated/gutted Villa fans home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some airlines have live TV for at least part of the journey. A lot also have internet so at least you can follow the VT match thread - it's always positive in there I'm flying with Thomas Cook and will be around Greenland at kick off. Get to JFK about 6 UK for a couple for hours then on to Raleigh / Durham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 So who’s their left back to replace Malone? Surely not Cole? He wasn’t even on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2019 I suppose there’s a nice symmetry here as it was the Derby game that really kick started this promotion push, now one way or another it’s going to end against them too.

PieFacE Posted May 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2019 Going to be a tough game still, but Derby's style of play suits us a lot better than Leeds'. Such a fantastic opportunity for us, can't wait for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 So, the two teams being lowest ranked ending up in the final. That sounds like a not too common occurrence . Not that I bother enough to check! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I like the fact that McGinn has played in two finals oop north in Scotland and emerged as a winner in both of them. Grealish plays his best in the biggest stage as well. We just need a few others to play to their ability and not make any stupid mistakes. We can do this.

maqroll Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 This is what I love about being a sports fan. It's everything leading up to the big game itself. It's a total rush, like a drug. That was a great game btw, some very well taken goals. Derby will be up for this, lets hope Dean has the team properly prepared. If we win this game we should insist on getting PREPARED sewn back on the badge. UTV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Derby are certainly a less difficult tie than Leeds on paper, do you really think the difference is that drastic? I would've put it more at 40% up to 60%. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Anyone know much about the 'other' derby players? Bob their best players are mount etc? I presume Bradley Johnson is their holding mid? Don't know much about their back 5, other than the left back is out. How are they likely to line up? Also noticed no Carson in goal. Is he injured?

Their key players are Mount, Wilson, Marriot, Lawrence for me. They are suspect at the back and Tammy has had the better of Tomori this season. Cole will come in and he had a torrid time against Elmo and Adomah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 pleased its Derby despite them being on an ultimate high now and proving what happens in the league counts for nothing in these playoffs. We need to step it up after our semi, complacency will be our biggest enemy, but knowing Dean Smith and his attention to detail, I think the team will be watching plenty of videos and going through every drill to make sure we're bang at it on the 27th. Best possible outcome for us no doubt about it. The scenes will be a sight to behold if we do it. And unlike last year I will be lumping on 500 squid for Derby to be promoted, thats a fair price to pay to see my true love promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Much prefer Derby as if we played Leeds be too much distractions after what happened last game. Think be a good contest and not a kicking match 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
