[Archived] Aston Villa FA Cup game

[Nelsta]

Was a bit optimistic about this, then i saw the team...not much hope i think.

2-0 villa.

[Bobby G]

Interesting that JJ is not given a start again to build up match fitness. But great to see Nzonzi back in.

Very strong line-up for us. Where's Mame?

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Keith Andrews playing - FFS!!!!! I wish we could sell him and then he cant be picked.

Live Radio for those not attending

Hopefully using the opportunity to put him in the shop window - to encourage teams to splash the cash on him before Feb :-)

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Much rather Andrews start today than next week. No issue there. More concerned about Roque starting with the injury issues he's had, but then again he needs to get match fit.

Andrews is poor. But if injuries rob us of a couple of centre mids we'll need someone to step in. Its better that he gets some game time now so that he's ready if he needs to be called upon later.

Andrews hat trick - that'll shut you all up.

Villa make 6 changes

---------------Friedel---------

Walker----Cuellar---Clarke---Baker

------Reo-chocker---Pires--Bannan

Looking at the line-ups, we should win this

[slough_rover]

Andrews will have Pires in his back pocket.

Shouldn't be hard, considering RP can't run

He could take his eye out with the Keefy Point of Doom.

That team looks a whole lot different when lined up like this:

--------------------Friedel

Walker----Cuellar---Clarke---Baker

--------------------Pires

------------Reo-----------Bannan

Agbonlawhore----------------Delfounso

-----------------Heskey----------------

The young lads at FB have to be worked hard by Olsson and Hoilett.

If we go 4-4-2 we could well get spanked in MF with all there running and pace.

[JMillZz]

Andrews will point us to victory. And Roberts' moaning and sulking will force their defenders to make mistakes.

I hope we will win but with Roberts and Andrews and Hanley I think we look a little weak, but we have the players on the bench to bring on.

I am not expecting miracles today and wouldn't be surprised if it went either way.

[OhmiBRFC]

Won't that radio link not cut out prior to kick off because of broadcasting rights?

[JMillZz]

Ps watching sky sports news, quite annoying they praise Santa Cruz for Kalinic's lay off to Hoilett. Surely they should be aware of who our players are!

[Nelsta]

No it shouldnt, they usually have the rights for cup matches.

[Hughesy]

Won't that radio link not cut out prior to kick off because of broadcasting rights?

No - they must have Villa rights to games.

Radio link for anyone that missed it

Oh good!

[Mr. E]

I for one say welcome back Keith.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Central midfield looks really poor and I wouldn't have picked Roberts. If Reo-Coker has a decent game i expect him to boss that midfield.

[tonyoz]

I for one say welcome back Keith.

Seconded,,,,,,,,Hey Ricky, I told you so!

[Nelsta]

nooo the radio has gone...

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

No - they must have Villa rights to games.
