I know the football world always talk about 'must win' games for like every match, but this is a must win match for us. We've got to get a win here stopping the rot and carry some momentum because even though we've been playing well the W's count for points, performances don't. A nice comfortable victory here will reassure Villa fans I think because the longer we go without our W, the worse it'll get...

Line-up:

Friedel

Young (L.)
Collins
Dunne
Warnock

Albrighton
Bannan
Clark
Downing
Young (A.)

Delfouneso

I would play Ireland on the basis of his cameo appearance on Saturday in place of Downing and push Ashley back onto the wing. I really think (hope) that Ireland might have finally arrived!

Can't think of a sentence with the words 'rock', 'beach' or 'donkey' in it. Whatever. Hopefully the mighty Villa will tower over them.

Blackpool think they are going to 'rock' up at our place and have it easy like they are lying on the 'beach' then they've got another thing coming. And hopefully we will have no donkeys playing.

How was that? 2-1 Villa, really open game with loads of chances.

They were unlucky that the Hare's goal wasnt counted at the weekend. Looked alright to me.

We will have to play well to win but I think we will and if the Fonz gets chances this week I expect him to score. We simply cannot continue missing chance after chance. I'm hoping that it will be the day that the goals actually start going in. Dont think Blackpool are capable of playing the Bham type football that will frustrate us. They are woefully short of pace at the back so hopefully the Fonz can get in behind and cause damage.

Two changes for me - Ireland for Ashley Young. Yes that 5 minute cameo has convinced me its time to give him a chance. A kick up the arse might not do Ashley Young any harm either especially with his contract shenanigans. His attitude problems continue aswell, yes he is our most talented player but he has been acting like a dickhead on the pitch for a while now. Id also bring Cuellar in for either Dunne or Collins just to give him some deserved game time.

----------------Friedel--------------------
L Young, Cuellar, Collins/Dunne, Warnock
Albrighton, Bannan, Clark, Downing
---------------Ireland-------------------
-------------Delfouneso---------------

Will Gabby be back on the bench?

Same team as above but Dunne in for Cuellar, 2-0 Villa, A young x 2.  Ireland off the bench for some game time second half and maybe a start v Man U.

A comfortable 3-0 win for the Villa (Bannan, Delfouneso and Downing).

People who are saying we should drop Downing and A.Young are incorrect in my opinion.

We just cannot accomodate Ireland at the moment.

I can't see why Downing should be dropped at the moment.

A pretty good 5 minutes isn't enough for me to give Ireland a starting role over Stewie or Bannan / Clark in central midfield.

I'm looking forward to seeing Olly and will offer translation services of his ramblings to those lucky enough to be sat with me behind the opposition bench

We played well on Saturday, I think we will win and also that it will be a good game. Blackpool play some good attacking football, so I think there will be goals, 3-1 Villa maybe. I think we will see the youngsters continuing their impressive progress. Maybe Bannan will do a Coleman and score against the team he was part of last season. I wonder if Holloway will start with Harewood or use him as an impact sub like he has been lately?
