Aston Villa vs Middlesbrough (League Cup) Pre-Match Thread

Saving for holiday so, for once, can't be arsed attending.

We couldn't beat ten first team players last week, hopefully we will be able to beat eleven of their reserves this time.

I think we will. 3-1 with goals from Hogan, Samba and Bjarnason.

Elphick will get a run-out, I wonder if McCormack will.

[manic-road]

Win 2-0 hopefully

[mr underhill]

is this one also free to ST holders?

[Damo70]

I wouldn't like to guess the result. I think it will be two very much weakened line ups.

[Villa Lew]

is this one also free to ST holders?

No £15 for Adults and £10 for old codgers like me.

Afrer the 0-0 borefest last Tuesday this has 0-0 written all over it. Penalites it is.

[PeterWithesShin]

Hard to predict as smeg knows what kind of line ups either side will do. So 6-6 and we win 17-16 on pens.

Can't we just go straight to pens and save ourselves 2 hours of precious life?

[Legion]

2-0. We're on a roll. "We are unvincible!" (sic)

[Toronto Villa]

The last Boro game was dreadful at times. Let's hope we pull a Wigan and follow up a good win with another. I'll go 3-1

Kodjia, Snodgrass, Doyle-Hayes

Hope Bjarnason is no where near playing! He's shown nothing so far. Give O'hare a chance or Doyle-Hayes. Anyway, 2-1 Villa, Hogan with both goals.

[darren woolley]

2-1 AET.

[Matt Collins]

I reckon there'll be up to 11 changes (tho he might want Kodjia or snodgrass to get more game time) and even then a fair few will be disappointed

Maybe something like:

Steer

Hutton samba Elphick De Laet

JDH Lansbury

Snodgrass O'Hare Bjarnason

Hogan 

[Villa75]

I know some Villa fans will be happy to see a lose this, "To concentrate on the League..", or because " We're never going to win it", but I love cup matches and want to stay in as long as possible.

I've saved some money to travel up for my first game this season so, please Villa, give me as win to cheer!
