Aston Villa vs Swansea City FA Cup Match Thread

Don't understand selecting McGinn and Whelan today. Both need resting and we have two obvious experienced options on the bench.

Agree Smith particularly referred to Connor and mcginn both being tiered and still plays the one that puts the most miles in. Can only be tactical guess against they’re 11

Another smith moan in the week is the constant reference to playing 3 RB’s in defence and today he chooses to play one at CB !

Quick sit rep. Our new keeper is a liability and Hogan who we will shortly have to reply on for goals can’t hit the target.

In his defence he did hit the target, but he should have buried it.

Just seen score. That didn't take long this week did it.

Ultimately similar chance to all the ones Tammy has been putting away recently from crosses.

Can't write him off after 10 minutes. 

Let's give it another 5.

Whelan on corner duty

Very open game with chances at both ends.  I can't see it staying at 0-1.

[Risso]

Oh dear Kalinic, not a great start to your Villa career.

[Toronto Villa]

Whelan on corner duty

Floaty useless corners. No threat or pace to them.

[PaulWinch again]

Doesn’t feel like there’s much positivity at the moment.

I thought this was supposed to be a sell out.  There's seats everywhere.

Free to ST holders I think so they all get counted in the attendance figure.

Presumably includes season ticket holders who couldn’t be arsed to go.

Like me, for example.

ST holders got their seats for free.  I have a ST but I also have man flu so I haven't gone today.  I imagine lots of others haven't attended for various reasons.
