Aston Villa v Leicester City (FA Cup) - Sun 15 Feb 2015 Pre-Match Thread

I think we will lose this. Part of the problem with Lambert is the lack of experience in the coaching staff and the Marshall twins don't have a lot of it to fall back on. That said, it's probably their only game in charge, so they'll likely chuck the sink at it.

2-0 villa . Leicester won't take this seriously .

[Gregorys Boy]

Time for Vlaar Sanchez Benteke to start, Weimann to play up top and Gabby to stay at home

2 1 Villa

Don't think Okore or Clark should be dropped.

Not sure I would.  With it being a cup game might bring Sanchez back in but leave it at that.  Its important to get Vlaar and Okore back in the league, but think I would leave it for this game.

As for the match, despite how low confiderence is right now I thought we would win before Lambert was sacked and that has not changed.

2-1 to Villa.

Weinmann and Clark for us.

Good game to start with.Free game to try out some fresh idea's.Dont no if we can call Bent back!!! but I would get him back.Still feel it's at least 2 months to late tho.Fingers crossed I'm wrong.At least we can get by behind the team again

But they don't have to do much is the thing.  Like you say hopefully they won't be in change for long, and there is nothing to lose for them as far as sunday goes.

As I said in another thread I was boycotting this but will now turn up full of cheer and positivity
Doubt we will be able to welcome a new coach but it feels as if it is us and the players now...

My train back from Hull has just stopped at Wembley Central.  This is an omen

That must've been one hell of a piss up frank!

Is it the result of TV superstardom?

I'm taking my nearly 4 year old to his first game - he loves wearing his Villa shirt and keeps asking to go to a game and I feel there will be a sense of positivity and optimism for this one. As previous posters say, a game to get behind the team without worrying about the league

6-0 win as we show the world what we can do.

[Toronto Villa]

There will be a lot of freedom with the players. Benteke to get back to what he's great at in 3-0 win

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Hopefully we'll get a performance like the West Ham 3-0 a few years ago!

[Damo70]

3-0 to us or 0-1 to them.

[Gregorys Boy]

Am thinking about going to this now with a spring and relief in my step no doubt.

Heres hoping to a Villa win, but I hope all who go get right behind the players and have Villa park rocking. Come on my babies

[ciggiesnbeer]

I honestly think we will stroll it. Easy win.
