Villa Park looks half empty. Upper Trinity closed.

22,000 apparently

Playing against guff.

But he was giving the ball away under no discernible pressure on the weekend. I think it must just be nerves.

Probably.

Must be easier on the nerves playing against a League One side in front of 22k than Liverpool in front of 42k.

Not playing great so far. Their striker should have scored then

Have to say our ball retention so far this season has been bunk!

Whenever we get a lower league side in the first round of this at home (which we have a lot in recent years), it's always about 22k or so.

We're still looking more than capable of some extremely quirky defending.

They're definitely going to score at some point, almost certainly from a corner.

I agree our passing hasn't been up to much yet this season. There's plenty of mitigating circumstances - mostly the opposition. But would be good to get into the rhythm tonight.
