What annoyed me most about Samba's 'challenge' is that Agbonlahor is an erratic finisher at best. It was nowhere near certain that hed score. So why make an effing challenge like you that tool? We may have an ever so slight chance had this just been 90 minutes but there is no way we can score and hold them off for 120. Well done Samba.

Ah well you can't beat 12. Ref's handed them two goals and a man advantage on a silver platter. First was a foul on Nelsen, second Samba wins the ball. Even the refs love that little Irish prick is seems.

Sam got his tactics spot on - Pedersen's lack of pace isn't an issue in the middle of the park and Olssen was causing that crap right back all sorts of problems. Nevermind eh.

Samba didn't touch the ball at all!! Pedersen's lack of pace isn't an issue - but his complete unwillingness to tackle anyone is.

OMG the pundits are on our side, saying we were by far the better team till the ref gave them a goal

The cocky villa fans wont agree though no doubt

Excellent performance for half an hour, blatant foul on Nelsen for their goal.

Then sat too deep and didn't hold possession whatsoever, the inevitable happened when they scored - not much Samba could do from that position but he shouldn't have been between the two centre-backs in the first place.

We can definitely score again, whether we can stop Villa might be a different matter.

Proud so proud. Brilliant tactical set up by Sam. But defensively what did we do. Suicide.

A half of two halves. We were brilliant in the first 26 minutes. If we can play like this, why dont we do it more often.

Samba, why oh why did you tackle? You never do that. But Chimbonda was next to him, why did the ref send him off?

So proud but so sad...

:(

Villa hardly broke sweat getting back into this. Dear oh dear.

People on here are mad. Rovers are now in the same position as at the start of the match - 10 down. If they score in the second half to make it 32 to rovers and they hold on it is extra time. Ok Rovers would need to hold on during extra time or nick another goal and go through on the away goals.

THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER YET.

It didn't help that we refused to keep hold of the ball. We were back to hoofing it from one end to the other, and I can't stand waiting five minutes for Pedersen to take his fairy throw-ins. It's so frustrating that we had Villa by the balls but let them back into the game.

Hardy speech but Rovers are currently 16/1 to go through here which probably sums the situation up.

Its going to be too difficult with 10 men, especially with the high tempo pressing we did in the first half.

People who criticize us for "sitting back" after going up 2 goals. For Gods sake there was only 4 minutes between the goal scored and conceded. Its not even a phase of the game, so it you cant criticize it cause we cant keep it up non-stop.

It's not, but another goal and it is.

We have to defend with our lives and hope we can get a set piece goal from somewhere. Prepare for a very ugly second half, courtesy if Chris (Please don't use that word again)HEAD Samba.
