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

[Chris Smith]

I am suprised that they gave this game to Marshall becausr he will follow Lambert out the door and he really has little to gain. I hope that Sherwood is going to call the shots from the stand, he's now the manager.

It would be a bit risky asking a bloke who has never taken a training session to manage the team today.

We'll, I would expect that Timmy will be watching from the stands, so let's hope the team think they need to impress the new boss.
I think think they WILL be up for it and we'll march into the QF's.
2-0

Wonder if there'll be anything about Lambert in the programme, a few words from him would be nice and perhaps a photo montage of his better moments. He did do some good work shifting dead wood such as dunne & Collins etc and that tosser warnock and re-signing Guzan and getting Benteke and to a degree vlaar .

I imagine that publishing deadlines would prevent that even if they were inclined to do it.

you could comfortably put the highlights onto the back of a postage stamp. time to move on and try and obliterate memories of one of the worst Villa managers ever.

A few words and some sort of apology for the 0-8, Bradford etc would of been nice .

What a stupid time to be up to get ready for the football.

Sub 30k crowd ?

I have visions of this Marshall bloke ringing Lambert throughout the game, what a bloody farce.

How low have we sunk.

As I see it we are likely to have a bloke in charge who is fairly sure he will given his P45 in a few days time. A bloke who in his one interview said we need a manager with proven experience. A bloke who has been ringing another bloke who has just been sacked by the club for advice on the team. A bloke who should know the capabilities of the players you would think.

You couldn't make it up could you?

You'd have had to be up earlier if you were on the bus rather than being chauffeured

It happens regularly but, as ever, it's only when it's us that it's proof of incompetence and gross stupidity.

[PaulWinch again]

I hope we can begin our recovery today.

[passitsideways]

Let's fucking do them.

[stubbsyandy]

Thats more like it!!

Losing 1-0 at half-time, Timmy stirs 'em up and we win 3-1 and go on to Wembley.

[atomicjam]

2-1 Villa win
