My concern is that I think we have peaked. Can’t see us having the capacity to score more than one goal. Might have a chance over two legs if the matches are as tight as last season against Boro.

They played 3 at the back at Derby. Philips is back and gives them some legs, but generally I think they're pedestrian and inconsistent all over the park.

Steer

Taylor
Mings
Tuanzebe
Elmo

Whelan
McGinn

El Ghazi
Grealish
Albert

Tammy

I think we're better at the back since February and with the confidence and quality in midfield, with their general disorganised state, then I strongly fancy us.

3-0 Villa.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck the Albion!

To be fair, you didn't predict a single victory during our history making run  so it would be a concern if you weren't predicting doom.

It would be nice to turn up on a week Tuesday with a 3 goal cushion in a half empty Hawthorns and coast to Wembley.

My concern is that we only fuck the yammy fuckers by a three-goal margin. We will fuck these fuckers out of Villa Park, over Smethwick and right into Dingle country. And when they make their way back to Sandwell we will turn up at theirs and put another fucking two past the baggy fuckers.

6-0 on aggregate. c***s!

Is it just me, or are they pretty crap ? If we play anywhere near the level we have in the last couple of months I can see us winning both games.

Form between our last two defeats W10 D1.
We are fucked.

If we'd turn up (I have no doubt we will) then they won't be able to live with us. We owe these cheats, and Saturday is payback day.

I can't see anything other than a Villa win by a two goal margin.

Actually it's a pathetic 32 points from 36 available.
