FT: ASTON VILLA 2 - 1 DERBY COUNTY

I don't like Villa that much, but i'm not sure it's enough of a reason to want them to lose today. I suppose it's more about which club will cause us more problems next season. Villa-There's a shout to say that they may have to cut costs even more next season if they don't go up, that could be better for us. I'm not sure about Derby's financial situation or the owners intentions if they stay in the Championship. If Lampard stays they may be forced into throwing cash at promotion again. I really don't know what the best outcome would be from our point of view. Thoughts please..

One goes up, one stays down.

Mixed feelings on this. I think I'd prefer not to have to battle with Villa next season but would find it hilarious if they failed today and didn't get back to the 'rightful' place they feel they belong

Either. Makes not one jot of difference to me. Championship is a total lottery

Villa to win for me.
Derby cheating with their snowgate and now FFP dodging.

Also think Villa will be a force next year with their manager.

Only good thing about Derby is I find Frank Lampard a fairly likeable guy.

Yup, i get your reasoning (or lack of considering it's the Championship) I'm going to shout for Derby today although i'm no fan of Lampard, he could be in the frame for the Chelsea job if they get done by Arsenal.

My sentiments too.

In a face off between Frank Lampard and John Terry, I can't help wanting Frank to win. Hard to see how Terry can gatecrash a Derby victory celebration - but no doubt he would try!

It would be a shame to miss out on Snowgate Part 2, but on balance.... Derby for me.

Best villa go up as much as i dislike them, rather play Derby next season!

Villa should win this comfortably.

Derby are all over the place every cross that comes in.

Villa 1 up

Derby didn't deal with a cross

Wouldn't be that worried about either of these next season

I take it back about the Newport game - the quality in this is just as poor. Derby are going to love us next season if they defend like this.

2 nil Villa.

Keeper not good enough there

Derby are garbage. FFP. Loan players going back. They could have all sorts of problems next season.

This is the best result for us.

Apparently the Championship has never been better

I'm not convinced

Derby 1 - 2 Villa

81 mins

Marriott pulls one back

Marriott should have started.

That makes it interesting!!!

Villa win

Wilson looked anything but a 25m player today. Plenty of going over easy and arguing with the ref though.

Most of the players on the pitch look a long way off competing in the premier league - villa will need to splash to cash this summer

Grealish will be massive for them next year. Mings looked quality at the back and the Villa midfield 3 were superb imo.

Mings will be back at Bournemouth

Derby only have themselves to blame for not starting to play until 2 down and Lampard brought on Marriott and Waghorn.

I noticed their coach was that little runt Jody Morris who turned us down for Leeds.

At least we will have two more Welsh Internationals in the Premier League, not the case when we went up!

Christ they say this every year....weren’t stoke supposed to fly it last season. We have practically the same team as last time that hit 90 points plus Murphy, Reid, Cunningham, smithies. We should be yo there but you never know hey.
