Silent_Bob Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Leeds is a club that is well known for their epic FUPs. Let's hope for one more and I hope I didn't jinx it by saying thay. Edited May 14, 2019 by Silent_Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villa89 Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 One win away from promotion and an exciting summer of transfers and Jack signing a new contract. One loss away from near total squad obliteration and a summer of cuts, job losses and misery. No pressure. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 We didn't play well, but through to the final. Now the hard part, trying to buy a ticket for the final from Australia and book flights, not going to miss a bit of Villa history. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 This feels different to me this season compared to last season. We very well might still lose the final but we won’t park the bus like we did against Fulham last season and come back with regrets. If we are at 100% we are a match for anyone in this league. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I dont think we can play worse in the next game which gives me enough belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 Today instructed me never to be cocksure about a cup game ever again. The season means naff all when it comes to the pressure of a game like that. The biggest plus of tonight, apart from getting through is that in Game 1 we had our screw up, Game 2 we rode our luck, so in game 3 we're actually due a performance. Icing on the cake will be Derby, but my god I do not underestimate them or Leeds in a one-off game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 Just had a McGinn and tonic to celebrate! Here’s the Steer.... WE ARE GOING UP!!! I am innately cautious about calling the future for AVFC, but I can feel it in my water. We are going back to where we belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Main worry for me going to final is most of our attacking players are doing disappearing acts at key stage of the season again. Tonight Tammy had his worst game of the season so seems the shoulder injury has impacted a bit. Green waste of time and we simply couldn't get Jack on the ball enough so Leeds will be taking note of that, McGinn also struggled to get into either game. El Ghazi was good though so can see Leeds trying to wind him up again (I fully expect them to comfortably finish the job tomorrow although would be delighted to be proved wrong). This time last year Lewis Grabban tailed off and Adomah and Snodgrass weren't great either so our only attacking threat in the final was Jack. He played his heart out but not enough to beat a very decent Fulham team. To win the final we're going to need all our attacking players to be of good standard and that rarely happens for us in Wembley finals. Edit: Personally I'd start Kodjia in the final. It could go wrong but he's a wildcard who'd give Leeds plenty to think about. Adomah is a very safe selection which feels a bit Steve Bruce to me in just wanting to keep things tight and give opposition the advantage.

Basically I'm all worst case scenario at the moment. It would be lovely for this club to turn up at Wembley for once in a final and put in an excellent performance. We are well overdue, the last one was Leeds in March 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nerves which we have had over the semi final will translate into throwing everything at it in the final! That is what i'm hoping anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 Leeds will have seen that and gotten a little bit nervous - a one goal lead means absolutely nothing if the other team score first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
