Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers Match Thread

[Tuscans]

[Toronto Villa]

Strong line up and bench. As expected unchanged

[Tuscans]

Sarkic on the bench. Kalinic injured?

Surprised to see Whelan starting over Hourihane. Hourihane played 2 games for Eire in past week so perhaps understandable. Good to have a defender on the bench again!

[Tuscans]

Good to have a defender on the bench again!

Jedinak has always been there

[Mossie Hennebry]

Jack Rodwell on the bench for them... there's a blast from the past!

[themossman]

Bloody strong bench that.

[Risso]

Can't have any excuses here.  Probably the strongest squad we've had all season.  The players should be well rested, and champing at the bit.  With the other teams around us having games in hand, we've got to smash these.

[robbo1874]

That. On paper. It’s AVFC though...

[XXVilla]

Kodja has what looks to be a dead crow on his head

[coreyfeldman]

any chance of a stream today?

[Risso]

Come on the Villa!

[Breezeblock]

I could also use a stream please

[Joe S]

I really want us to win this one !!
