Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers F.A. Cup 4th Round Match Thread

[adamski villa]

not a yellow card earlier in the game.....................gotta fight hard now Villa

[Dave Cooper please]

Is Collins on the bench?
Maybe take Delfonz off and go to one up front.
Clark to LB.

not one's to make life easy are we !! FFS...

[Toronto Villa]

Makes LB an interesting position for the next few games.

I think Clark will slot in there against Man U, with Dunne and Collins returning. I think Walker's played LB too hasn't he?

[eamonn]

Have to feel bad for Nathan Baker - 3 games out now, after playing really well in his two first starts for the first team this week.

[boboonthecorner]

According to SSN they said he slipped into the challenge as opposed to any malice being involved..??

[Villa'Zawg]

Everton 1 v 1 Chelsea, dull draw :-)

[eamonn]

Collins to come on . Heskey has been very quiet, thought he'd come off. But it's Pires.

[eamonn]

Ugh, ''Never seen a tattoo on Collins back before. Why would I have seen his naked back?''

[manic-road]

Pires subbed?

Radio commentary said he went two footed over the ball and was so high he went over the top of the player.


Collins coming on. Pires off to an ovation from the crowd. Clark to LB?

[Toronto Villa]

Collins to come on . Heskey has been very quiet, thought he'd come off. But it's Pires.

yep, right thing to do. Clark to LB I'd imagine.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Oh dear! Time to defend and hope like Hell!

Should we maybe bring Collins on for Heskey and put Clark at LB?

[peter w]

Not to worry for the next three games as he wouldn't have played. Might have an adverse effect on today though. The silly sod.

Agree, maybe bring Delph or Stan on for one of the forward boys in a few minutes too!
