Bristol Rovers v Aston Villa (F.A. Cup 3rd round): Pre-Match Thread

[Damo70]

I think AM will play his strongest side and we will win 3-1.

[Shrek]

For me:

---------------Guzan
--Hutton-Cuellar-Dunne-Stevens

Albrighton-Gardner-Delph-N'Zogbia

-----------Bent-Gabby

Hutton needs confidence, No better opportunity to look at Stevens than against lower opposition.

Let's see how 442 works with an energetic Midfield, because if Delph and Gardner fulfill their potential we have one he'll of a midfield there.

4.1 Gardner, Bent x3

[pedro25]

He'll bring in Bannan and Heskey I think, 2-1 Villa.

[UK Redsox]

Has Enda been able to train with the squad prior to his official arrival ?

Today probably the first day

[Gulf Villa]

Lose this AM and I think the removal men need to be called into B6.

3 to us 0 to them.

Go out of the cup and Taxi for the Ginger one please.

[The Man With A Stick]

If we sack the manager just because we're out of both cups and 12th (or whatever it is) in the league, then people are hardly going to be queuing up to take the job on are they.  Nobody half-decent anyway.

[PaulTheVillan]

Think Cuellar is injured for this one.

[darren woolley]

2-0 Gabby and N'Zogbia to score for us.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Should be a stroll in the park, but we all know it wont be. Them to score first, us with two late goals.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Bent in the 90th minute to clinch this one.

Villa to win 3-2

[paulcomben]

Poor old Edna has already been wheeled out to make excuses for a team mate's cock-up in his opening interview (official site).

[Rick_avfc]

0-2 Gardner and Weimann

[pauliewalnuts]

Has Enda been able to train with the squad prior to his official arrival ?

Today probably the first day

There were pics of him in training over Christmas somewhere.

He was training with Villa over the festive period but only officially became a villa player on Monday
