No Mitrovic who I guess would start normally, no idea about the rest. They have got to PL defender Joe Bryan though!

Exactly what I expected. And understandable I think with the games coming up and given the minutes Hause and Konsa have played recently and Mings just back from injury.

We hope that would still be enough and that we are able to see Ramsey and Vassilev for part of the game.

Think the teams fine under the circumstances. Would of liked him to stick to the 3 centre back formation, but can understand he doesn’t want to risk injuries to Mings, Konsa or Hause. I’ll be more disappointed if Smith reverts to the old formation against Leicester on Wednesday or Man City Sunday, but that’s for another day.

Probably a bit dramatic, but to me both Lansbury and Jota need to show they can perform against a championship team today to have any chance of having any role in the premier league this season.

Good to see Chester back. Lacking a bit of pace at the pack though.

Surely should have kept same formation anyway. Chester can't play left centre back and Hause could have come in with either non entities Lansbury or Jota on the bench . Don't envy Nakamba's job today given the players next to and in front of him.

That January trolley dash by Bruce looks to have really paid off.  Hogan can’t get in Stokes side.  Lansbury.  Only Conor really and he’s in and out.

Really, that's interesting.

Lansbury just doesn't care does he?

These games are to give players some game time, and also see if anyone has any guts to fight for a place.

If we lose it, oh well. Kodjia got a goal, so thats a plus.

It's been useful to see some of them playing themselves out of contention and into being, hopefully, sold.

We really are excellent when it comes to not winning football matches.

A fascinating insight into the total lack of quality beyond our ‘starters’.

FA Cup is a massively important competition and hopefully we will win it again some day, in my lifetime please Villa.

However this year was never going to be that year, and as much as I hate myself for saying it, I'm not sorry we're out. We've just been decimated by big injuries and we have important business to do just  to stay afloat in the PL.

Semi-final of the League Cup is good enough for me and hopefully we'll give Foxes more of a fight than we did at VP lately.

How come they can control a ball first time, pass to a teammate, move, look to receive the ball, press and run intelligently off the ball?

Great chance for Kodja. Offside anyway due to him ambling back even though we had possession. Must be so tired the poor thing...Fucking annoying.

We really do not need this cup run. Always annoying to lose, but strangely not that bothered about this.

Lansbury really needs shipping out in the summer (if possible)

My thoughts exactly, we have a lot more to be focused on than this, the only thing that would have worked well for us today in winning is this being useful to getting back to winning ways, useful in that sense.

The distinct lack of effort from the vast majority of players is massively alarming and makes me very arsed!
