ED Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'll try from another angle, A Typical full strength Blackburn side beat a Typical full strength Villa side at Blackburn earlier in the season 2-1 when both sides were committed. I like the 'we did the double over them last season and the result in september was a fluke with a late pen that never was' angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona10 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 A lot of snow forecasted over the coming days, if its in that region then i'd also say our game with Wigan may be in doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I'm assuming if the first leg gets delayed then so does the second? I have no idea to be honest that would seem logical although they could try and fit it in next week I suppose.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 If Milner's out, I hope he doesn't play Reo-Coker and Petrov together, Has to be one or the other and considering Petrov can't seem to line up with anyone else, it would have to be Reo-Coker and Delph in midfield again for me. If Milner's fit though, I don't mind Petrov and Milner, prefer Coker over Petrov, but don't think it makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Has to be next week I would of thought just in case it does get called off. Otherwise have to think about when FA Cup replays are if we were to draw to Brighton as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottenM Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Villa are serious about winning this so its likely to be as a full strength league line up. Except the unwritten rule that Guzan must play in cup games, which has been working just fine, so... Guzan L. Young Dunne Cuellar Warnock A. Young Milner Petrov Downing Heskey Agbonlahor Milner is a slight injury doubt, i reckon he'll be fine but if not, was Delph's performance on Saturday enough to give him another try? I'd expect the safer choice of NRC if Milner doesn't make it. Lets hope the weather holds up, nice to see Villa in a midweek televised game something i could easily get used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Those predicting a walk over are getting very carried away, Big Sam is taking this very seriously, I just hope were as up for this as they are. I'm Fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 4, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2010 Not going to be an easy game by any means. I did worry when we got this draw that an awful lot of people acted as if we had one foot in the final already. I hope we keep our heads if tomorrow isn't a raving success.

Demitri_C Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 it wont bge easy though they wnat it as much as we do, if we can nick an away goal then we have a chance. this is arguably the biggest game of mons reign as villa manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAndLoyal Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Despite heavy snow predicted over night tonight, it is thought to be clearing by mid-morning with chances of sunny spells after. Therefore, if that forecast is right, they grit the surrounding area sufficiently, and the sunny spells help to melt away even some of the snow then I can't see why this game can't go ahead. I'd be absolutely livid if it got called off, as would every other fan travelling up, particularly as the pitch will definitely be playable. Health & Safety bollocks!
