If we play both Morrison and Brunt in midfield, surrender.Problem is lack of energy , half of our team cannot function properly for 90 minutes. Villa can afford to lose by one goal for extra-time , we cannot go to extra-time with our players

That is a serious concern of mine too. Other teams all season have seemed fitter than us. We looked knackered after an hour on Saturday.

[tucka9]

I really feel like we need an early goal in the first 15/20 minutes, the place will be rocking then and I think Villa will be there for the taking. Nothing to lose attitude needed and go for it, as someone said I think we will need 3 goals here as a clean sheet is highly unlikely

[tuamigos]

Shan hasn't got a loss against his name at home yet I believe?
We need that to carry on tomorrow, JRod was unlucky on Saturday and you know he'll run his nuts off tomorrow.
The rest of the team will have to dig in, go down as easily as they do and platy for the set pieces.

I would love us to put the Vile to the sword and I will be there willing them on tomorrow night. But I just get the impression that everything is going against us.

2 strikers suspended,  Injuries to Livermore and Johannson, maybe Dawson. Phillips only 75% fit, no proper manager, that git Greasyish diving for the penalty, clear penalty for us not given, A sending off for 2 dodgy yellow cards.

All this gives me the impression it's not our year. But I will accept that if we can get a team and manager together to kill this league next season and also see Leeds stuff the vile at Wembley.  Seeing the villa fans in tears coming out of wembley for a 2nd year in succession will definitely make up for it.  Lets face it Leeds have got unfinished business with the vile !!!

As a matter of interest, have Villa got a full squad to choose from?

Yes, and johansen and dawson should be fit tomorrow according to the birmingham mail. Philips may not be 100 percent but he's more than capable of causing them problems.

[seteefeet]

All we need to do is win the game, something we've done plenty this season including against the Villa. Doesn't matter about clean sheets, we just need 1 more than them to stay in it.
Anybody old enough needs to think back to Swansea and replicate that atmosphere, anyone who isn't should be studying youtube.
As long as we give it everything, as players and supporters, then there should be no complaints.

[kie the baggie]

I believe they are but check with Dave Holloway.

Cheers mate, it is on, can have a few now!!

[superkev]

Hi I have a spare ticket for the East Stand near halfway line  block F3 row Ff so good seat.
I bought it as a senior ticket for £17 and its to sell for that amount

pm if you want it as it will get you a ticket for the final as well!!

[mulliganstired]

Got to be a fair chance of going to penalties.

[baggie82]

Got to be a fair chance of going to penalties.

 I’d take that now. Can’t see Villa not scoring, hopefully the team raises their game but I just can’t see it.

[kirk]

I hope people remember the play acting of the villa keeper which helped getting Gayle sent off.

[iwastherein68]

Can't see it mate if we have to go to extra time I think we are done for. Half of our players can't even do 90 mins.
Have to do it in 90 for me.

[Droitwich Baggie]

We need to what the song "Vindaloo" said...Score one more than you.
Defence can look after themselves, we must believe in attack.
As I have previously stated...Attack is the best form of defence.

[Plastic Paddy]

I think we should go with a 4-2-3-1 formation tomorrow as follows: -

Johnstone

Holgate (RB)
Dawson (RCB)
Hegazi (LCB)
Gibbs (LM)

Field (DM)
Johansen (DM)

Phillips (RW)
Morrison (AMC)
Brunt (LW)

Rodriguez (CF)

Subs: Bond, Adarabioyo, Bartley, Harper, Montero, Edwards, Soule

I don't agree with both Brunt and Morrison being in mid field.
But having stated that, gawd knows who I would put there other than "blooding" another young 'un.

That is the big problem - very few options! I have noticed however that I didn't include Murphy. As easily forgettable as his performances have been, I would include him on the bench instead of either Bartley/Tosin. We need as many attacking options as possible.

[elkiellis]

                             Johnstone
Holgate       Dawson          Hegazi        Gibbs

                              Field
Edwards    Harper        Johansen     Phillips
 
                              Rodriguez

Subs Bond, Livermore, Adarabioyo, Townsend, Hoolahan, Leko, Brunt
we need a line up like this to force a win with youth and loads of pace ,but probably start brunt and Morrison and get overrun as usual
                       

[Pureade1]

We can do this tommorow. The seals already think they are at Wembley let them and greasy jack think that. Fans need to create the hostile atmosphere that vile deserve and get behind our lads, forget whatever else has happened this season and BELIEVE!!!!

[elkiellis]

we have to take a risk with kids on this game ie Edwards,harper to start and Tulloch on the bench otherwise we will not have the legs to compete with Villa I think I would play brunt wide left or left back as his free kicks and corners are needed but we need younger legs in centre midfield , I would go 4 5 1 Brunt ,hegazi ,dawson,holgate,phillips,edwards,harper,johanssen,field and j rod, field and johanssen defensive mids,and we still have pacey threats ,in j rod,phillips,harper and Edwards,its no good picking the old uns in midfield we have to attack them.

I would rather see Hoolahan throwing in than Morrison. Still think it’s criminal how little game time Wes has had.

[gazberg]

Totally agree, never had a bad game for us but continually overlooked.

Good shout, hope we ditch the 3-5-2 formation as well, 3 slow centre backs is a waste tomorrow. We have to press them.
