Aston Villa v Middlesbrough (League Cup) - Match Thread

[Louzie0]

Tees commentators are bitter and sad.
'Villa Park, deserted, fans going home, empty,' etc

Your boys weren't exactly a draw, were they?

[PeterWithesShin]

By my reckoning, last time we had a crowd this low was v Forest in the ZDS in Nov 1991. 7,859. We had 12,433 in the LC 2nd round v Wigan in 1993.

That's what this quality of football will do.

Barnsley as expected was a fucking mirage. Our reserves vs theirs. We shit the bed at home.

Doug Ellis would sack a manager for a gate of less than 12,000 regardless of the result of the game.

[QuintonVilla]

We got 15,000 for the friendly against Boro last year.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Wolves and Bristol City out-attendancing us.Wake up call.

See they more sensibly retained the spine of the side rather than changing all the players.
