Nice Birthday present for RHM.
-
Jedi or Whelan as the back up striker if we need a goal late on?
-
Win Villa and no injuries please.

He'll probably bring Bunn on.
-
Where is RDL playing? Centre mid by the look of it.

In goal knowing Bruce.
-
Green loan then?
-
Five defenders against a League 1 team. Sums Bruce up - try not to lose rather than take it to the opposition and try to win.
-
WM have commentary on DAB, Radio Derby has coverage but not online, so guess i'm not following it properly!
-
3-4-3 perhaps, with Bree, Axel, Mad Tom at the back?
-
The Burton Albion chairman has just been on Midlands Today reminiscing fondly about how much they enjoyed beating Aston Villa when they were in the Championship, which is pretty impressive seeing as how we have never lost to them.
-
Maybe he said meeting not beating but more likely he's stupid and he's getting us mixed up with another Birmingham team who they beat regularly.

He's using the sha 'logic' of a draw being as good as a win.
-
Not a lot of attacking options from the bench, or the first XI.
Still, I’m sure we’ll be ok

Hi Steve.
-

Nah, three at right back.
-
Where the hell is De Laet playing?
-
Anyone who watched the U23 match yesterday will know Calum O'Hare and Jordan Lyden both had a decent match while Doyle Hayes had a poor match. So Bruce picks Doyle Hayes .Sums our manger up
-
Could be 3 at the back testing Bree, with Ritchie and Taylor wing backs?!?
-
Happy Birthday Rushian - now exit your teens in style.
-
Yessss! Just caught mad Tom kicking the post!
-
anyone know if this is on AVFC TV? Doesnt seem to be working for me

Nope. Don't think there's commentary either, not 100% on that though.
-

Can't even have the audio working - this is beyond poor.
Game was listed in the email as on TV, though obvious a mistake.
-
Bree at Ch and Tuanzabe as holding CM?
Is that right?
Bruce is just playing to the gallery now isn’t he?
-
Only one striker in the whole match squad??
Grealish and Kodjia came on last round and nearly scored and made a goal respectively. We won't need that this round though against a team from a higher division?
-
There's a phone video on FB but I reckon it's Bruce holding it as it's held at portrait rather than landscape.
It's just ended. Last image was a chip on the floor. Told ya.
-

Than k you, its actually listed on https://www.livesoccertv.com/ but frankly the website is such a shambles who knows
-
WM have commentary on DAB, Radio Derby has coverage but not online, so guess i'm not following it properly!
Thank you
-
Only way to follow live atm is WM DAB.
-
Does anyone know who is playing where - players that is, I can cope without the joy of someone saying 'the Villa are in Burton'.
Cheers, UTV.
-
From the commentary the 'tactic' seems to be to launch high balls to a lone RHM against 6 foot + defenders
-
ill settle for the WHU game
-

Good to see Brucey is keeping it varied.
-

Worked well against Yeovil so why change it.
-
Judging by the Beeb site we're missing a thriller. 0 shots, 0 corners for either side.
-
I'm listening on the villa app on my android phone. As usual you need perfect hearing even on max volume. I didn't have to pay.
-
I'm listening to WM commentary and I still don't know whether we're playing right-to-left or left-to-right.
-
Snoddie's playing well in claret and blue.
-
Snoddie's playing well in claret and blue.
Maybe he's done a David Cameron on who he's playing for
-
Friend sent me a message and said it's diabolical.
-
Burton have had a couple of corners.
-
From the official Twitter:
A pretty uneventful opening 15 minutes, with neither side registering an effort on goal. Tuanzebe has assumed a holding midfield role in front of De Laet, Elphick, Bree and Taylor. El Ghazi, Adomah and RHM operating as a front three.
So even they are so confused they are forgotten Lansbury and Hourihane, presumably in front of Tuanzebe. So 4-1-2-3?
-
Friend sent me a message and said it's diabolical.
Did he give any indication of formation and who's playing where?
-
I think it's rush right-back
-
Friend sent me a message and said it's diabolical.
Did he give any indication of formation and who's playing where?
Nope, Brucie's keeping it very close to his chest, not even the players know, 'Fog of war'
-
BBC has no shots from either side.
Of those shots none have been on target.
Surprisingly.
-
I think the phrase is, there is method in the MADNESS?
Hmmmm, let’s hope so.
-
On the plus side Jedi's not playing centre back
-
Half an hour gone and neither side as had a shot it seems.
-
Their goalie's going off. They could bring on an outfield player to replace him given the 'threat' we're offering
-
Half an hour gone and neither side as had a shot it seems.
Kinda makes you wonder what 22 blokes, confined within a small area are all doing with each other, hey ho, lets not go there.
-
YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS. A corner
-
Wow, look at the strength on Burton's bench...Sol Campbell, Willie Miller, Steve Hodge and Peter Beardsley (I think).
-
Friend sent me a message and said it's diabolical.
Did he give any indication of formation and who's playing where?
I'll ask
-
YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS. A corner
Let's quit while we're ahead.
-
We've managed to crock 2 of their players, Conor was booked for, I assume, the challenge that did for their keeper.
-
Have we got anybody who can do floaty corners?
-
Blessing in disguise its not on AVTV
-
Still 0-0 in goal attempts, 2-2 on corners and we're winning 8-4 on fouls committed.
-
Are we hoofing it up to Rushian's head yet ?
-
Have we got anybody who can do floaty corners?
Bruce seems to deliver a floater most match days
-
Edge of the seat stuff
-
We have never carried the floaty corner threat since Westwood left.

Posted again as someone was asking for the line-up.
Moreira
RDL - Elphick-Bree-Taylor
Tuanzebe
Lansbury-Hourihane
El Ghazi-Heburn-Murphy-Adomah
-
40 mins in and neither team has had an attempt is that a record ?
-
A shot!
-
Still no shots from either side.
We're heading for a record
-
Villa fans taking the piss. Wonder if Calderwood is swearing at them today?
-
Axel's had a shot!
-
We've had an off target goal attempt!
Attempt missed. Axel Tuanzebe (Aston Villa) left footed shot from outside the box misses to the right.
-
Who has been shot?
-
We have never carried the floaty corner threat since Westwood left.
There is a lot less pointing these days as well
-
This is great stuff, reminds me of cefax back in the 80s
-
It could not be this much of a mental line up if he was deliberately trying to get the sack.
Fucking no idea
-
We have never carried the floaty corner threat since Westwood left.

poor man's mark kinsella. There was a man who could point
-
Bob the Builder. Now he could point.
-
Sounds like one of those matches you don’t mind missing.
-
Sounds scintillating.
-
Another shot, we've turned in Brazil '70!
Attempt missed. Henri Lansbury (Aston Villa) right footed shot from outside the box is too high.
-

To be honest given the schedule we’ve had and the status of this cup, I think that’s a pretty sensible line up. Would have preferred to see Axel at centre back, but valuable game time for most these players. They need to show us they have the desire and quality to push for a 1st Xi place.
-
Who has been shot?
Please be Bruce. In the arse of course in a comedic jump up and down way
-
We should bring back homing pigeons. The news came through faster.
-
HT: #BAFC 0-0 #AVFC...
No goals yet as we reach the break. Villa looking most threatening down the right-hand side through De Laet and Adomah as the game has gone on. Tuanzebe, Taylor and El Ghazi all solid. More cutting edge needed in the second half.
#PartOfThePride https://t.co/wGT9m3dYkF
-
Phew, half time. Time to catch my breath
-
I'm probably going to leave the match thread ten minutes from the end.
Not getting stuck for this shite.
-
WM "it's been genuinely awful". And saying we've been pumping long high balls towards RHM. Villa fans chanted "we've had a shot" after the first and apparently Bruce looked up at the press box, not in anger but agreement at how bad it is. All according to WM.
-
Too high (https://youtu.be/OSwi-PkbSIo)
-
Or hire Mo Farah to run with messages in a forked stick down the A50 to the VP nerve centre.
-
We are only a few weeks into the season and already Bruce has had the need to tell us a few times that things aren’t good enough, we need to more positive and we need to improve performances....blah, blah,blah,blah.
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING ABOUT IT?
sorry for shouting but I’m quite angry.
-
The match reminds me of the Tranmere semifinal.
-
Make me a cuppa tea Mr Green.

It might be if players were being played in their positions and others had some prospect of getting in the team in anything other than an emergency, for example given we have multiple options at holding mid, why do we need to try Tuanzebe in there? Other than to tip Mourinho over the edge.
-
I remember the Tranmere semi final. I was listening to it as I painted the front of my house. I fell asleep and fell off the ladder.

I hate that crap from Bruce , its rubbish on pitch fans complain and he sides with fans as if somehow he is not at all to blame for whats going on .
-
Teas off dearie.
-
He has to be fired soon.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeee
-
Now we've got Wolves commentary
-
nice to see what Axel can do at CB instead of DM when we already have thor, Jedi and wheman to play there all season

Tuanzebe
Lansbury-Hourihane
El Ghazi-Heburn-Murphy-Adomah
So instead of playing the usual system and then giving squad players a go in thier normal positions, he changes the system and effectively plays everyone out of position.
Genius.
-
Now we've got Wolves commentary
Will do on DAB until Villa game starts. I think.
-
Yeah - just switched to our game

As I said I’d prefer to see him at centre back but I don’t see any harm in having a look at him at holding midfield given as it’s a position it’s been suggested he can play.
The reality is there should be enough quality in that line up to make a decent fist of it and the players need to pull their fingers out and do what they are paid to do.
-

I think we need more pace in midfield, let's move Whelan to centre back - that's where I see his future.
-
Be thankful, I don't have DAB so am listening to the Wolves game all the time. Which sounds only marginally better than ours.
-
I can't help feeling he's playing Axel as DM because he's determined to favour Jedi at CB regardless of ability, hence why he won't test Axel there just in case he's better in that position
-
I am surprised the Dogheads are playing in this cup completion.
I’d have thought they’d give it a swerve ready to go straight into the knockout stages of the champions league so that can win that.
-
Wolves 1 up after good work from Adama who is the best player on the pitch, according to WM.
-
Burton 1-0
-
Hardly a shock.
-
Poor defensively, deflected in off Mad Tom.
-
they have scored with their first shot ?
-
Good effort lads.
-
That's the Carabao Cup for yer !
-
That’s the EFL Cup.
-
Burton 1-0
What!!!!!joking apart, this is a complete joke...
-
they have scored with their first shot ?
Nope 3rd of the half. Amazingly they did a HT sub (their final one) and have started better than us.
-
Good to see we’re continuing our fine defensive start to the season.
-
That's Dancing!
-
Chuck em under the bus Brucie
-
And to think this competition has given me some of my best ever days. Now I can't even be bothered to miss Bake Off.
-
Chuck em under the bus Brucie
Oh, he will.
-
‘I’ve just told them this is real football ya bunch of uselsss cnuts.’
-
Quick, take off all the midfielders and put on left backs or strikers...
-
Fans are getting hysterical again Brucie.
-
"We wor at wor races," etc,etc
-
And yet we have been here before this season, performance wise.
We KNOW what he will say.
When is he going to manage us into improving?
-
Beat me to it. Lose this and he'll throw the players under the bus again... fans hysterical blah blah...made changes blah blah...shown options available not good enough blah blah...ad nauseum
-
Chasing the game now. What are our attacking options off the bench?
-
Let's not forget the starting line up contains 7 players that bag of shit Bruce signed himself. So when he starts feeding us bollocks about not being good enough or deflecting the blame, they're his players, his signings, his wastes of money. He's fucking crap.
-
consentrate on the league
-
I’m watching An Idiot Abroad and cant help thinking An Idiot In Charge.
-
‘I’ve just told them this is real football ya bunch of uselsss cnuts.’
Genuinely made me laugh.
-
Chasing the game now. What are our attacking options off the bench?
We could bring on one of the right backs or defensive midfielders that Bruce has stockpiled.
-
What's the point in cobbling a team together for this competition?
Either take it seriously (which I wouldn't) or play the full junior team - with said manager.
This benefits nobody.
-
It's a relief we dont have O'Hare as an option on the bench
-
What are our attacking options off the bench?
if only Chris Samba was still with us....
-
Chuck em under the bus Brucie
Oh, he will.
I’ve wanted Bruce out since the play off final. But sometimes the players just need to stand up and be counted. Ok, Bree is out of position but there’s some decent quality in that line up and the likes of Lansbury, Hourihane, Adomah and RHM need to sort themselves out.
-
oh shit thats Bruces Plan A gone of holding them 0 0 to penalties
-
consentrate on the league
he said that last year
-
I think we just have to accept Bruce has zero interest in getting through in this competition. It prevents him having an autumnal break in his favourite pad in Portugal.
-
0 shots, corners or changes this half.
-
How about some professional pride in getting through.

Is Mendes Bruce's agent?
-
"Villa not creating anything or asking any questions of the Burton back line"
-
Just had this from my mate who’s there.
I cannot tell you how bad this is and no options on the bench. Bruce playing games with the board with his selection.
-
How about some professional pride in getting through.
Precisely, this is the only cup competition Villa can progress through to maybe face a top side, lift the club during the bleaker months, he'd be very wrong to dismiss this out of hand.
-
Get on the phone to Dean Smith...

Have you seen Steve's alternate post match comments ?
-
Is that Lee Z Souness Mended?
-
It's a shit lineup. Yet again players out of position. Seriously what does anyone expect? We're (the manager, club and probably players) not bothered about this competition.
-
Fucking dismal.
-
Any shots on target yet?
-
Attempt saved. Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa) header from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal.
-
Even if we (he) has not prioritised this competition, why not try and learn something from it.
A new formation and more players played out of position means we don't even get that. Never mind the prospect of gaining confidence from a clean sheet and a few goals for the strikers!
Nothing is served by his approach to this match - other than he edges closer to the exit, maybe that is the grand plan?
-
Any shots on target yet?
Header from ch

Losing is losing and becomes a habit. Regardless of the opposition or the competition.

I expect us not to look shit against Burton.
-
Awesome
-
yet we sold out our allocation again and the man from sky said earlier that they were the best thing about Villa he had seen
I know fans expect changes in games like this but this is just pissing all over those who travelled
-
Elmo on for Chester. No, me neither
-
other than an hour against Wigan we haven't played well in any other game have we ?
-

I’d love to know Bruce’s record in cups for us.

Good point, plus, sends out all the wrong messages.

Just had this from my mate who’s there.
I cannot tell you how bad this is and no options on the bench. Bruce playing games with the board with his selection.
If that's what he's doing then he's even thicker than I thought given that they're nearly all his signings.
-
If we lose this I wonder what excuses he'll come out with?
-
Elmo on for Chester. No, me neither
Elmo on for the Elphick isn’t it?
-
As bad as Lamberts probably.
-
Brentford not Wigan.
-
Elmo on for Elphick - maybe a direct swap, who knows :o
-
other than an hour against Wigan we haven't played well in any other game have we ?

Hopefully, they are intelligent enough to see past his shit and tell him to fuck off.
-
Right. So we've now got one centre-back on the pitch. Who's playing defensive midfield. Genius.
-

-
Can't understand SB's thinking at all.
We've stopped winning in the league now so surely going out of this cup isn't going to impress the new owners.
Fair enough not starting likes of Kodjia and McGinn but at least put them on the bench.
Burton haven't even got their full team out and made 3 subs in the first half. Very poor.
-
Elmo on for Elphick - maybe a direct swap, who knows :o
De Laet to Centre back,Elmo to right back? More shuffling of defensive bodies all over the shop?
-
Chuck em under the bus Brucie

We’re not talking about players taking the piss and outright mutiny. We’re talking about players all over the pitch playing below their ability because they aren’t in the right position, don’t trust the tactics etc. That’s on Bruce.
-
Is Bruce there? Or is he dialling this one in?
-
Attempt missed. Anwar El Ghazi (Aston Villa) right footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the right.
-
There's an essence of Eric Black about Bruce with his team selections. He knows he's toast so he's fucking us up from the inside; so to speak. It really can't be anything else IMO.
-
Elmo on for Chester. No, me neither
Elmo on for the Elphick isn’t it?
Oops. When they were talking about captain's armband I completely forgot Elphick, not Chester, was playing. Too much scotch
-
other than an hour against Wigan we haven't played well in any other game have we ?
I thought we were very good against Brentford
sorry I meant Brentford , I am losing it
understandable mate with all the top class opposition we are playing nowadays
-
It hasn’t taken long for El Ghazi’s skill to be coached out of him.
-
Can't understand SB's thinking at all.
We've stopped winning in the league now so surely going out of this cup isn't going to impress the new owners............................
Did you know they have breathed new life into the club?
-
Is there even anything to gain resting players five games in ?
All teams do it but its August ffs, not January!
-
‘They’ve breathed new life into the club. New life has been breathed into the club by these guys. (Can’t wait for me fooooookin’ payoff like.’)
-
12 minutes away from being knocked out of a cup and the only sub we've made is to bring on Elmo.
-
The Curse of Bodymoor Heath.
-
I,'ve sussed his thinking. He wants to be like the Dutch team of years gone by where we play total football and players can move around and play in almost any position. I knew Bruce had a plan.
-
It's obvious that the day to day training (sic) regime isn't a viable model and the players ain't buying into it.
-
Burton really good value for their win says Sky. Fucking shambles, four games without a win if we lose this. Surely that's enough to change things at the top? (I'm only half joking).
-
they better score , we cant have the Bruce followers not been able to say 'yeah but his undefeated'
-

Crazy, as far as i'm concerned his duty is to go out and win every game regardless, with maximum effort, to believe he as some grandiose plan to rest players from competition in order to save them for the ultimate goal of promotion is just tosh, it's not going to happen, getting way above his station, win every game, that's it.

Burton should have scored a second.

It's cos he's aex-blose ain't it.

I wouldn't mind but they all get a rest with the international break after Saturday, well most of them do.
-
This sounds absolutely disgraceful.

someone wake me up in May

Precisely.
-
He was moaning about the ridiculous schedule on Saturday. A schedule that hasn’t changed for about ten years at this level.
-
5 mins to go and still just the 1 sub. It's a genius tactic by Bruce to avoid extra time...
-
someone wake me up in May
I want to hide away too.
I'll concentrate on the allotment.
Oh, no, I'm going to Sheffield on Saturday.
-
I hope Thierry is brushing up on his brummie.

Attempt missed. Ahmed El Mohamady (Aston Villa) header from the centre of the box misses to the left.
-

There is no extra time is there? Straight to pens I believe. Provided it’s a draw obviously.

Penalty to us!
-
It was a piss take of how shit Bruce is.
-
Penalty Villa!

He was moaning about the ridiculous schedule on Saturday. A schedule that hasn’t changed for about ten years at this level.
Yet this is a bloke, that as a player, was sent out by a ruthless manager that ran players ragged through the pain barrier week in, week out and achieved..........

Keeper saves the backpass.

-
Adomah missed penalty.
Burton had player sent off.

If we had scored, 3 of the WM games would have gone to pens as it stands.

This is the Bad Thing.

Live coverage on WM now for any masochists

Anybody else think that Bruce knows his days are numbered and wants his payoff early.

Abysmal, fuck him off pronto.
Reading, Ipswich, Brentford, Burton, couldn't win a game against any of them. Diabolical. This man is a waste of time.
