A number of changes as expected but a strong line up. Like I said in the pre match thread, we need to win tonight to remember what it's like to win again. We've come close too often to either winning or at least getting a point and not come through. That starts to play on the mind. A good performance where we take the game to Brighton and score some goals will mean a lot. Let's get into them tonight from the very start.

More 4 3 3 yawn
-
suprised SJM gets a start
-
More 4 3 3 yawn
One of McGinn or Hourihane could be pushed up?
-
is that a strong Brighton team? I havent a clue who plays for them
-
I was convinced Lansbury would start
-
suprised SJM gets a start
I don’t get that at all..... he was knackered after 75 min last Sunday and we need him again next Saturday
-
More 4 3 3 yawn

Doubt it
-
Expected team bar McGinn. Assume that Lansbury is injured given he is not even on the bench.
-
Win please Villa and play a smart game.
-
Happy with that team, surprised McGinn is starting. I suppose he will be substituted after about an hour as he puts so much effort in.
-
is that a strong Brighton team? I havent a clue who plays for them
Looking at twitter it seems like an under 23 team in the main. A lot of their fans not happy.
-
Brighton have 3 or 4 injured so they are limited to who can play tonight.
-
That’s a decent team. It will be interesting to see how they play. I hope targett plays well and forces his way in.
I’d have rested SJM personally, too much a key player to risk.
-
I just saw a clip of the squad walking through a corridor at the ground. They look like a bunch of lads on a school trip. Baseball cap here, hoodie there. I want to see them dressed as a team, marching in with purpose, putting the shits up the Seagulls from the off.
-
I don't really but they did look like a rabble.
-
Wow only two players I know from the Brighton team, Duffy and Bong. Graham Potter pretty much put a youth team out so we really should be winning this although after last two games anything is possible.
-
is that a strong Brighton team? I havent a clue who plays for them
Duffy is only premier league regular.
-
Disappointed that Cam did not get another chance based on his performance as a sub in the previous round.
-
Most of the Brighton squad numbers are in the 40s and 50s
-
Yes, I am biased.
-
suprised SJM gets a start
I think Mcginn is one of those players that have to play every game to stay sharp. I would imagine as much his choice as the Managers.
As this is a decently strong team against what most suggest is very much a weakened Albion team anything less than a convincing win will be crap.
-
Most of the Brighton squad numbers are in the 40s and 50s
My god with those ages if we don't win it will be a disaster ;)
-
Villas odd for tonights game have shortened dramatically since Brightons team was announced.
-
is that a strong Brighton team? I havent a clue who plays for them
Duffy is only premier league regular.
Ive heard of Dunk and thought that french player knockoff played for them
-
oh Maupay signed for them didnt he ..
-
Streams hard to come by - most are only covering the Chelski, 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and Manure games
-
should do the bloody red button on nights like this
-
Is it on the radio anywhere?
-

This is our Stepping Stone to the next round.
-
Can't find this on the net anywhere. If anyone can help, i'd love a PM. Thanks
-
Disappointed that Cam did not get another chance based on his performance as a sub in the previous round.
I think Ramsey has jumped ahead of him based on his performance the other night for the under-23s. I'd say that's encouraging for Cam and all the other youngsters, showing you will get a chance if you impress.
-
Is it on the radio anywhere?
It'll be on WM but not sure whether FM or DAB yet. If it's on FM I'm f***ed as I've only got DAB
-
Disappointed that Cam did not get another chance based on his performance as a sub in the previous round.
Yeah, that is a shame. Would have been nice for him and Ramsey to both be involved, given that you would imagine that the plan is to take McGinn and Trezeguet off in the second half. Hopefully Ramsey still gets an appearance.
-

As expected WM commentary is on FM so I'm f***ed. I'll be relying on this thread for updates
-

Would suggest everyone PM's B.E. for the link.

High def picture of Boris by any chance?

I would also take a PM, but not if it’s just BE taking the piss!
-
Come on BE. Spill the beans over this way
-
Anyone know what's happening in the match?
-
I'm watching the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' game.
Is that "our" Jordan Bowery playing for MK Dons?
-
2019 and we can't watch a cup game between 2 Premier League clubs. Top job, EFL.
-
For the first time ever I'm having to follow this on BBC live-ish text! I gather we've come close twice
-
BE spare me from the radio wm

Just your normal TV Freeview.
-
Our 481st League Cup goal (more than anyone else).
-
Jota seems to be causing them some problems, that's his 4th shot at goal, must be getting into good positions.
-
Lads. I'm really sorry. I have nothing for you. It was a piss-take pm to Andy whom I know personally. Please don't call me a wanker! I didn't think before posting. And I've been on the pop a bit.

The Aston Villa B team appears far more at ease with life than the A team does this season
-

I deserve a good kicking, I know.

This is what we need. If we keep picking up wins however we can it’ll keep some confidence in there...FM wisdom right there.
🤣

Only if you've got Freeview, just been through the Sky box and nothing! Alas, I can't even find a stream for WM online. As a measure of how desperate I am, I'd settle for Woodward.
-
Lovely work from Davis down the left to cut it back for Conor on the penalty spot to stroke it home. Great move and finish.
Cheers, BE.

Isn't Freeview on every TV? I thought it was. I have Sky and BT Sport but Freeview was just part of the Television.
-
Would be slightly annoyed as a Brighton fan to see the team weakened to this extent for tonight.
Wish i'd had some prior knowledge. Could have made some nice money tonight.

Just unbanned you.

Freeview is part of my tv but can’t get a signal so Sky has to do.
-
I’ve got commentary from BBC Surrey on freeview 840. I think the channels available vary depending on your region. I think freesat has a full local radio listing.

Get in Villa.

The strength of the opposition they have played probably helps a little though!

Brighton nearly score. Hit post.

Half-time.

good player him , hes got anything

Get McGinn off at HT, Ramsey on. Probably switch Trez for AEG too so both are fairly fresh for Sat.
-
A win is important tonight. Better mood for everyone for Saturday.
-
Davis might be an option wide-left if Trez keeps flattering to decieve.

No - I've got Freesat not Freeview, and it's on Freeview but not Freesat. Likewise it's on WM FM but not WM DAB - and I've only got DAB! So basically I'm screwed!

Look I'm just getting on with getting us out of the cup, putting 20,000 police back on the streets and investing in our NHS. And being a ******.
-
HT teamtalk in the Brighton dressing room "right you lot. One of you get out there and get yourself fucking sent off. We talked about this" Only jestin of course. One of the things Deano and Purslow said was they want to instil a way of playing that runs through the club from the first team right through to the youth. We had 15 attempts in the first half. We've changed 9 players and it sounds like we're playing some good attractive football. The kids beat Man Utd 4-1 last night (i think) Are the green shoots of the villa revolution are beginning to sprout?
-
Look at the difference of having midfielders driving into the box. Options for passes and we score 2

BBC Sounds app appears to have all the stations. No idea which have got the game though.
I taught one of the Brighton subs.

I've found a crackly radio stream but you'll have to join a Villa FB group if you want to listen to it - let me know. You stop noticing the static after a minute or two.

Could them as can hear a commentary please keep the rest of us informed?

Probably the most uninformed match thread ever this'

2-0 bossing the game. Nothing can go wrong now.

Hopefully SSN can mention Brighton have made 11 changes for the 50th time soon.

Yeah im watching sky and thought exactly the same.

Well what do you know we’ve conceded from a corner.
-
Cue panic mode.
-
Lights out at Burton for the second time.
-
We’re careless as a side at the moment.
-
And just as I had settled in for a stress free evening, the real Aston Villa re-emerged.

A VERY defendable goal. Afuckinggain.

We’ve had 24 shots on goal. 8 on target and we’ve only scored twice. FFS get a forward in sharpish in Jan because we creating chances.

Probably punishment for that interview.

Didn't realise Lansbury was injured. Shouldn't be surprised really. It's a miracle every time he picks up his post without putting his back out.

Is Lansbury injured? Asking for a friend.

Well done SJG.
Still worried, though.
If electricity is fucked in Burton does this mean I won't be able to get any Carling this weekend?

Excuse me, Sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

I'm "watching" via the Bet365 app. In a ceefax kind of way, we're all over them, they've barely registered in possession in our half. I got well excited when that third went in.
-
West Ham on their way out. I would like Oxford in the next round need to revenge that semi final defeat.
