[The Man With A Stick]

2-1 away win.

Collins (49), Delfouneso (74).

[Shrek]

I'd tick with same team, just swap Ireland for Carew.

We will definitely win this one.

[PaulTheVillan]

Collins is a doubt.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm dreading this.
I think they'll finally beat us 2-1.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I think it'll go to penalties. No idea who from there. Our penalties haven't been great since fat Barry left.

[Clampy]

I do quite like the look of Legion's team. It's time Fonz was given another start.

We can beat them and i've a sneaky feeling we will.

[tarzansbrother]

I agree Clampy, thing is our habit of being shyte in the first half appears to have returned. Having said that they will have to come at us as they are at home and that will suit our counter attack stylr of play. Narrow 1-0 win for me with Gabby netting.

[JJ-AV]

Gabby will be fit, surely?!

I never thought I'd say it but Habib Beye has to play and Luke Young switched across.
I'd leave Bannan out also. Leave him to come on as an impact sub.

Curtis Davies should be brought back also. More penny pinching by the board perhaps how he hasn't been brought back already?

We need for Ashley Young to target Ridgewell and get Downing back on the left. Our only saving grace is that they are pretty shit too. Will go to penos I'd say.

[tarzansbrother]

I thought Warnock was easily better than L Young yesterday.

[sheldon nose]

Think we are finally going to beat you i reckon.......think your injuries might catch up with you in this one.....if you had your full squad i would not fancy it.....mind you i said chelsea would beat us last week, so what do i know.....2-0 blues...

[Blackcountry Villa]

God help us.

3-0

[Grande Pablo]

Villa on penalties after a 0-0 draw.  It'll be like the Somme outside afterwards, sadly.

[villajk]

Can't see any way that we can win this.  I just hope the score is kept low.  I'm going for 2-0 to them.
