Aston Villa vs Blackpool Pre-match thread

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd play Grealish , Burke,  Johnson , Gardner , Donacien , lowton , Stevens , and Given .

We may as well just forfeit the game rather than play that lot.

8v11

With 3 others . Then again can Blackpool muster 11?

Agreed, Grealish yes the rest no.

[Witton Warrior]

Hard to give a flying fuck about this one really

It's the FA Cup mate!

If Grealish doesn't start this game, I'm going on a killing spree.

Not again cd!
You know what happened last time!
So much laundry!

On the brightside, there won't be much of a crowd so not too many victims.

Given
Defence - usual except Lowton in for Hutton (with injuries do we have much choice?)
Midfield - rest Sanchez, play Richardson and Cole and someone else - Gardner?
Up front - Benteke needs to play (and score), Robinson, Grealish?

Some other players need to be on the bench, but such is my pessimistic streak, we could lose this and provide more super headlines for the neutrals!
Again!

[Meanwood Villa]

Can see us losing this one.

Robinson is cup-tied.

[Des Little]

We can win this.

[silhillvilla]

We can win this.

We can dream. We must dream. The dream is on.

I wish I hadn't purchased a ticket for this as I want to be entertained.......

Anyway I reckon it will be 0-0 in another turgid display.

[Fin Feds Dad]

On the brightside, there won't be much of a crowd so not too many victims.

And the traffic will be lighter , so will get home quicker .....

[David_Nab]

Lot's of seats left for this , 15k I reckon will turn up if that.

I'm going to this , note my last visit was against Shef United in the cup ..
