Taking into account new signings to bed in and still a bit of competitive ring rust I am going for Villa to win 2-0.

I'd give Nyland a run out and Tuanzebe to get them up to speed but would expect the likes of Bree, De Laet, Lansbury and RHM to get some game time - hopefully a comfortable win for the Villa and a home draw in the next round!

I reckon we will win in our new (blue?) third kit 3-0.

Yeovil are shite but we don't want to change too much. A mix of experience, those who need a game and a couple of kids should have enough to win it.

A comfortable win in normal time, please. I want to be on that motorway home quicksharp!
A comfortable win please but good luck with quick sharp, Huish Pk must be one of the furthest grounds from a motorway junction in England..

The furthest from a motorway honour must got to Norwich I'd have thought.

I'm sure Plymouth and Ipswich are further too. Colchester and Brighton may give them a run for their money too.

This is our first official fixture between the two clubs.
We have met once before in an end of season friendly – 15/05/1968 Won 3-1 (scorers: Mitchinson & B.Williams 2) I assume B.Williams was a trialist, as I can’t find any record of him.
Interesting little match report here of the game:

As a side note, we’ve also played in Yeovil twice, losing 0-3 to Cardiff on 04/11/1937 & beating a Somerset County XI 6-0 on 21/04/1902 as part of an end of season Tour of the South

Respect to Yeovil, now my 2ndest favourite team! Better than any of the other shite he turned up at.

This will add to the fairly short list of clubs Villa have played that i've seen Bromsgrove Rovers play.

Without presuming anything (Luton is still fresh), the 2nd round draw is around 7pm on Thursday.
