May-Z Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm of the opinion that a score draw or a narrow win is the best result. I wouldn't want a whopping win because it would affect the players mentality for the home leg. We all knwo that when Villa don't put 100% in we can lose to whoever so we need the scores to be reasonably tight in order for the team to take it as seriously as possible.

I'd take 4 or 5 nil and be confident of getting to the final. I'd be less confident with a nil-nil. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted January 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2010 One more job then time for early finish. Their confidence is low & us scoring first could see us winning by 3 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 backed the draw at 9/4 to cushion the blow should we not win. (Not even comprehending a loss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachite Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Milner has slipped over and bruised his hip!! (OS) .. but Martin says he'll be fit and available. phew! You scared me for a minute gaffer! 3-1 or 3-0 villa Milner would play if he'd only got one leg, frost bite in the other, was required to play naked, was required to score three goals and would do, was required to carry the team coach with all the lads in on his back all the way to Blackburn, across deep snow, treacherous ice packs and vicious polar bears, He will play. C'mon you Villa boys. Gabby lets see some high powered goals. Ash...........some nice twists and turns please, little dinks in and Gabby to drive home. Strong defence. up the Villa.

Chindie Posted January 14, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2010 Reading the Sun earlier *spit*, we've never won an away leg of a League Cup semi-final, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thats because if its 1-1 with 15 to go we wouldn't chase the win, why bother? Hence me backing the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Reading the Sun earlier *spit*, we've never won an away leg of a League Cup semi-final, apparently. i found that strange too! didnt mention how we have had so many semi finals though, we cant do that bad in the semis seeing as we have such a good record in this cup, shame the sun keep their proper statistics for the top 4 - anyone know the % of villa playing the 1st leg away and going through? also winning/drawing/losing the 1st/away leg and still making it through? wheres BOF?!
