Swells with pride.
-
Wow Aaron Tshibola sighting and some kids on the bench too. Good to see Marvelous in there along with Konsa and Targett.
-
That should be good enough
-
Swells with pride.
Well done sir. You should be proud. You had hinted at it.
-
Wasn't expecting Tshibola on the bench.
Cameron Archer! Legion, you must be so proud.
-
No striking options if Davis gets injured?
-
I was bouncing round the hotel room like a big kid yesterday. So, so happy.
-
Forgive me legion but is archer related
Genuine question?

Jofra Archer does everything

Good work Legion but the cruel irony of one brother starting his senior Villa experience whilst his older brother could be unemployed later tonight.
-
Great that some of them are getting minutes. Go smash em!
-
Well done Lee. Come on you Villa Babbies.
-
I also taught Jordan and had him in the school team aswell. Their brother Lewis too. All quality footballers and model pupils. Brought up very well indeed.

That must be really rewarding
-
It sure is.
-
Just want to say marvellous after the match. Hope he is good
-
Hope Big Keinan can score and Ramsey can get some minutes.

I cannot put into words how I am feeling. Would love to see him get a run out.
-
Hope he gets on and scores.

Hope he gets on and scores.
I think I would explode if that happened.
-
Excellent
-
Who’s captain ? Elmo ?
-
Elmo.
-
Just walked in the ground and Crewe have a drum. FFS. Seriously considering going home now.
-
Well happy with that line-up, gametime for the fringe players, seniors to come in if it's going badly and a couple of youngsters getting experience if we do the business, exactly how I'd use the early rounds of this cup against lower league sides.
-
Tshibola is a weird one!!
Good to see the strength in depth we have. Particularly defensively.
Legion it's written in the stars for Archer to score an injury time winner.

It's on WM.

Chance to put Tshibola in the shop window....the European giants are ready to swoop.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Konsa
-
Konsa booooooiiiii
-
I have links...I think its in German though.
-
Great start, great for confidence

Found a stream just as we scored!!

A couple more in the first half and give Cameron 25 mins in the second half

We look professional so far. Good to see

Is he as fast as an arrow?

Wow. That's fantastic. You must be over the moon. Let's hope he gets a run out and scores a goal!

I am. Totally elated.
-
Crewe goal disallowed
-
Thank fook for the offside flag.
-
I hope I am proven wrong as the game goes on but I just don’t see much value in Keinan Davis
-
We look a touch ragged, expected with a lot of changes I guess, but the extra quality has made the difference so far and you can see we've got a lot more to offer here.
We do need to get more of a grip here though because they're getting chances.
-
Listening on radio.
Concentrate, Villa!
-
When you see Davis as our only current alternative forward it’s a bit worrying.
-
Steer saves, we're under the cosh a bit here
-
Need someone to put their foot on it in midfield. And for Davis to hold it up better.
-
It’s all Crewe now.
-
There's been a couple of examples of why I don't like Lansbury here so far, he has a way of looking like a game is beneath him at times.
-
There’s the winger we need to sign. Who is number 19 for Crewe?
-
Can someone pm me a working link...mine just switched to the West Ham game :(
-

Take a bow.
I read that with Woodward's voice
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Conor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hotlips
-
Boom!
-
That's a fucking brilliant goal to be fair.
-
yesssssss Conor
-
That'll do nicely. A bit against the flow of the game it has to be said
-
Who knew the 2nd round of the cup would get the Bein5 commentator so animated.
I appreciate this post.
-
We look shit at the back.
-
Left side of our defence is all over the place.
But, we're 2-0 up and that second goal was lovely - so I'm not too bothered.
-
I hate grounds like this one, about 50 people in each of the stands behind the goals and then 1 massive stand at the side.

Like Leeds. In terms of layout.

Targett crocked

Who’s the guy in the crowd the camera keeps switching to?
-
Targett looks fucked
-

Their manager.

Dumb not subbing him.

Targett off for Freddie
-
Freddie coming on. Assume Elmo to LB
Edit - Freddie at LB it appears
-

Cheers TV and CJ.
Looks like a supply teacher.

That's exactly the description I'd use for him and Lansbury
-
I think Marvelous has grown into it, starting to take control of the midfield now, Davis has warmed to it as well, and has held things up really well, he's a couple of underhit passes away from having had a great game.
-
A very nothing first half but still 2 goals to the good. Think we’re missing any genuine pace in the side. As I type this Guilbert bursts down the left flank then fluffs it on his left foot.
-

At least Lansbury set up a goal. AEG has been really disappointing
-
That’s not good.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
What happened to Targett?
-
Conor again.
-
YESSSSSSS 3-0
-
Lovely.
-
What a gorgeous passing move. Must have been 50 passes or more in the build up.
-
The enigma that is Hourihane. Really should be running the game from midfield, isn’t (like the other midfielders) but has 2 goals.
-

Good point well made. Still 3-0 at half time without really breaking sweat can't be sniffed at.
-
What happened to Targett?
Looked like a pulled hamstring, hopefully nothing serious, he played on for a few minutes after the first 'twinge' so it's suggests they thought he could run it off.
-
Was anybody counting the passes there?
Wonderful stuff.
-
What a gorgeous passing move
We’ve huffed and puffed at times but that really was delightful.
Leeg - 3-0 must at some point give Dean a bit more flexibility to maybe bring on your lad. Let’s hope
-
Great cross from Gilbert.
-
Well given some of the recent debacle at Burton and Luton it’s nice to be 3 up at half time with the general consensus we’ve not played that great.
What a time to be alive!
-
Great cross from Gilbert.
AEG cross
-
What happened to Targett?
Thanks.

Tongue in cheek, perhaps?
Conor is a quality player. Premier League starter or not, he's no enigma; surely.
-
2nd and 3rd goals were great football. They're working very hard to try to close us down and making it tough for us to settle but the times where we've gotten a grip of things and played our game has shown the gulf in quality.
-
Was anybody counting the passes there?
Wonderful stuff.
Just did - There was a couple of scuffed passes but if we count them it was 23
-
who we want next game?
fancy Manu myself
-
Missed the third goal as my internet crashed >:( Was it a cracker?
-
R noses still in ?
-

Same here. Damn you MyP2P! Damn you to hell! :)

-

No.
-

Not bad. A high ball into to the box by El Ghazi and nodded in by Hourihane. VAR would've probably disallowed it as Davis was all over their number 6.

A little.
-
Good keeping from Jed to narrow the angle there.
-
They should have scored there
-
Ainley and Dale look too good for league 2, I suspect they'll both be in the championship by this time next year.
-
I thought Steer got a touch.
-
Is it me or do we look crap at the back? I’m definitely loving Engels instead.
-
That side stand is absolutely massive, wouldn't look out of place in a PL ground.
-
Had to check, the last name of that player is "NG"...
-
Pre-emptive counter: No, I am not writing him off after 52 minutes.
Does anyone else think Nakamba has contributed next to nothing? Or did I look away and miss something?
-
That side stand is absolutely massive, wouldn't look out of place in a PL ground.
Pretty sure they had to go with that 1 big stand (just under 7k) as the other 3 are restricted by available land.
-
Had to check, the last name of that player is "NG"...
How's it pronounced? Nug? En-Gee?
-
Jota is wearing long sleeves, the big girl's blouse.
-
No, he's not done much. I'd lie to see us control the game a lot better.
-
Hou several times is flat footed when receiving a pass. Does it quite a lot
-
I think we’re seeing why most of these players haven’t been starting for the early games.
-

Apparently just as you spell it 😂 EN GEE
-
AEG hits the post
-
El Ghazi hits the post after a brilliant breakaway move.
-
No, he's not done much. I'd lie to see us control the game a lot better.
Though not misplaced many passes,
-
Really good work by Keinan for that move
-
disallowed crewe goal
-
disallowed crewe goal
How far ahead are you? Or behind?
-
disallowed crewe goal
Are you watching the first half?
-
The ball to AEG from Davis was excellent, really should've been 4.
-
disallowed crewe goal
Either I want to know if we are still winning or I’m going to tell you things improve a lot.
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
-
Lovely turn Nakamba
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
Marvellous.
-
Great northern soul banner there; 'Do I Love Crew? Indeed I Do.'
Respect.
-
Crewe have pressed very well from the front, may tire in the last 15.
-
Why did Targett go off?
-
The way commentators pronounce Guilbert is really starting to get on my thruppenies.
-
Why did Targett go off?
Hamstring apparently.
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
Not done much wrong, and more visible the last 5. Can't really make any valid opinion on him based on today
-
They've been the better side this half. Good job they're a bit blunt up top
-
Why did Targett go off?
Groin problem I think
-
conor hatrick
-
Jack on for Jota
-
conor hatrick
We haven't seen disallowed goal yet
-
Why is Jack coming on?
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Davis goal.
-

Very one sided (left foot) . Not exactly match fit yet. Lansbury doesn't contribute anywhere near enough with the ball either.
-
Keinan set up by Jack
-
Keinan after a strong run from Jack.
-
I told you Keinan was poor. Never fails
-
Seems a bit unnecessary to risk Jack - maybe still getting up to 100% fitness perhaps
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
Marvellous.
🙄
-
Assume Jack on to try him one of the wide slots. Didn’t take him long.
-
Alright point proven. Jack is good. Let’s take him off now.
-
Brilliant first touch of the match for Jack.
Hopefully Cam and Ramsey will be on soon.
-
Seems a bit unnecessary to risk Jack - maybe still getting up to 100% fitness perhaps
Assist won't do him any harm confidence wise. Delighted for Davis.
-

bloody streams
-

Well, have him do a bit of extra training then. jack should have been nowhere near this squad let alone coming on as sub
-
So so chuffed for Davis
-
Brilliant first touch of the match for Jack.
Hopefully Cam and Ramsey will be on soon.
Hope so.
-
Chance for a Conor hat trick here
-
Alright point proven. Jack is good. Let’s take him off now.
yeah, he's shit and not trying (according to idiots in the Jack Grealish thread!!)
-

Already used two subs
-

“Jackie Grealish”
-
Smith hates Crewe from his Walsall days so Jack is on to take the piss and humiliate them.
-
Konsa down.
-
The above post may be as truthful as a Boris Johnson comment on Europe.
-
I see Lenny Kunt is an assistant at Crewe
-
Big Keinan has played well, he deserved that goal. 💪
-
Smith hates Crewe from his Walsall days so Jack is on to take the piss and humiliate them.
Is there a story there?
-
It’s not as bad as that idiot Anderson on WM pronouncing his surname as ‘Graylish’.
-

what? Konsa down? You lying begger!!
-

Yeah, I forgot about Guilbert coming on.
-
Nice for Davis to get a goal. I really like the lad. He reminds me a bit of Heskey. In a good way, I mean!
-
It’s not as bad as that idiot Anderson on WM pronouncing his surname as ‘Graylish’.
I've noticed a not insignificant amount of people who say this. How on earth can they still be getting it wrong after all this time.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Guilbert
-
Who has Konsa gone down on?
-
Freddie with a great finish for 5-0.
-
Who has Konsa gone down on?
PWS!
-
Freddie with a great finish for 5-0.
well he looks like Conor . I was close
-
Guilbert really is a special player for the price we paid, you don't see many fullbacks score goals like that.
-
Beautiful by Guilbert
-
Who has Konsa gone down on?
Pardon?
-
Who has Konsa gone down on?
PWS!
I wouldn't say no
-
Here comes Cam?
-
Queue the Thanks Mr Gilbert Inbetweeners clip.
-
Archer?
-
Here comes Cam?
Of me and Konsa? Who do you think I am, Paul Jewell?
-
Yep Cam coming on
-
Yes!
-
What a very professional performance. Under new management. Ain't it grand?
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
Anyone?
-
4721 Archer....Sir.
-
Being sad, the last time we did this was 2007 when we beat wrexham 5-0 away... solid performance
-
And Cameron Archer makes his debut.
-
Can anyone give a Nakamba verdict so far?
Anyone?
Guilty on Counts 1 and 2, acquitted of the attempt charge. Retrial on Counts 4 and 5 as jury couldn’t agree.
-
Positively beaming.
-
Yes!
💪💪💪
-
Ok, I'll give up asking.
-
You must be shedding a little tear Leeg. Happy for you
-
1-5
-
You must be shedding a little tear Leeg. Happy for you
Well made up.
-
Ok, I'll give up asking.
He's been fine. Not done much wrong, but probably not the match that his talents are going to be judged in.
One lovely little backheeled turn through the legs of a Crewe player.
-
Positively beaming.
Emoji just for you Leeg....
👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
They've got one back. My fault I'd just bet on us to get a 6th.
-
Crewe have played really quite well but have had nothing in the final third.
Edit: LOL you knew that would happen
-
Ok, I'll give up asking.
I think we’re all concentrating on H&V’s adopted son, Cameron Archer :)
-
Smith out
-
“We’re gonna lose 6-5, we’re gonna lose 6-5”
-
“We’re gonna lose 6-5, we’re gonna lose 6-5”
Cam does a Harewood?
-
Ok, I'll give up asking.
Probably difficult to say with us being so far ahead. Gary Rowett practically creaming his knickers with Crewe scoring though.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
DVB.
-
Legion. It's always traced back to Legion.
-
Cam involved as Jack scores
-
Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Smith in
-
You must be shedding a little tear Leeg. Happy for you
Well made up.
Came on just to say thank you for the shaping/guidance you presumably gave :)
-
Too easy, I think the pressing game has worn them out now.
Archer did really well pressing them to make that one happen, good on him.
-
That'll teach them to score against us
-
A 6-1 win and Legion’s not there. Who’d have thunk it ;D
-
Taught him all he knows!
-
A 6-1 win and Legion’s not there. Who’d have thunk it ;D
Has that ever happened before?
-
God it’s such a refreshing change to watch a no alarms safe passage game against lower league opposition. Remember lambert making all sorts of shit excuses when we would lose at home to Orient.
-

Sunderland at home in 2013 I think.

Mate more recently than that. Luton, Burton are still somewhat fresh in the mind.

OFSTED Day.

Legion and 6-1’s is a classic H&V trope along the lines of WDBTTP
-
Marvelous has looked quite tidy overall. As has Lansbury along with two really nice assists
-
Palace game gone to pens. Hope they're knackered
