It’s another massive game against the Baggies and while it’s great to be in the FA Cup and I’d give up plenty for us to actually go on and win it, I have to confess that I think the game on Tuesday was far more important.
That’s not to say I won’t be gutted if we fail to win the game. It’s just that Premier league survival is more important at the moment, even though the FA cup is the only trophy I’ve failed to see us lift.
No doubt some of you might disagree.
Squad news then and although I thought we had loads of problems at the back, it seems Ron Vlaar might be available. Hutton’s suspended.
And that’s about it, from what I’ve seen.
For Albion, Darren Fletcher is cup tied, Anichibe is out with a groin injury and Mcnanamum is doubtful.
So what do I think?
Well, if it’s as good a game as Tuesday, I’ll be reasonably happy. Equally so if perform as well.
And if we get another win, I’ll be ecstatic.
You have to wonder how much Tuesday will have taken out of both teams, as Villa seemed to tire somewhat and Tony Pulis said the Albion were a bit jaded; hence even though it’s a Derby game with an extra edge, I think we might see more mistakes and possibly not as fluent a game.
Although I suppose we are possibly slight favourites to win, I think it’s going to be close and it’s very difficult to call. Win this one though and it puts in a nice position for the Sunderland game.
I’m going to go for it and say we’ll win 2-1.
Fingers and everything else crossed.
Get fucking in there Wembley Wembley
Come On!!!!!!!!!
Sanchez on….Im scared
Is it his hair that frightens you?
I’ve got a feeling Tim ain’t a fan of gil.
Maybe he simply pissed off the new boss for something…who knows!??!?!?
Having kittens. Blow that fucking whisle.
Some of out lads are coming of age today. A makeshift team but Sinclair, Delph, even Aggi showing massive confidence. C’mon you Villa. Take it easy Bill, I’d miss you
Grealish on for N’Zog.
No prisoners. I like it.
For Sinclair’s lack of ability, he definitely is one player that always gets in the right position.
I’ve said before we’re a team of 1 arf.
That wasn’t Yacob’s fault. Bad lunge by Bacuna…
That’s a shocking sending off, imo.
Bad call, never a sending off but that’s just another little bit of the luck we were not getting. UTV
That had to be a call from the assistant who thought Yacob had his foot a little high, but they got that completely wrong. Bacuna had every right to slide for it but that’s no foul from either side.
Sinclair, game over!!!!!!
Dare I say that Grealish starting to look like Gascoyne (playing style that is)
Yes yes yes
88th minute to bring on Gil. Not exactly enough time to show what he can do, especially as West Bromich will control it.
To me a bad sending off, but take a look at Yacops trailing foot? it kicks the top mussel of his leg.
Fucks sake Grealish off?
Another shocker!
What the hell are those twats doing on the pitch???????????.
Looked like Lescott clipped him, can’t see that being a dive. Did look a soft foul but would have to see another replay. Shocking ref though.
Two crazy and damaging calls by the ref. No excuse whatsoever. A disgrace
Shocking decision to send Grealish off!
And are those really Villa fans on the pitch?
Not our style badger though no trouble caused so can’t really see the problem tbh
Who was the supporter with a rubber penis on his head?????
Dick Head
Its so wrong but after the season we have had….sorry still stupid. But what a performance, still so much to improve but hello…
