FA Cup Quarter Final : Villa v WBA Saturday 7th March 5:30pm kick off.

I think the ref knew he fucked up sending that Albion player off and was looking to even things up. Dickhead.

I thought Sinclair and N'Zogbia were great and Sherwood deserves a special mention for shaking up the team with his half time team talk. Delph looked classy, Clark was excellent and we looked good value for the win in the end.

We have some good players if they start to believe in themselves, add that skill to obviously increased fitness levels (N'Zogbia is pacy again!!!!!!) and we'll get some points in the next ten games.

The movement off the ball is still poor beyond words.

Charlie Heel looked extremely lively when he came on and seems to love running at the opposition. Would love to see more of him.

I love Carles Gil but Sherwood thinks he's too lightweight. Next game against Sunderland is going to be a a bit of a war so I can't see Gil featuring.

You learn something new every day! So does Grealish miss the next league or cup match?

And I agree that he was trying to make up for the earlier sending off.

League. He'll be suspended for Sunderland away, which I don't think will be a big loss as I doubt Sherwood would be starting him in that type of match anyway

He misses the next match he could play - in this instance it is a league match.

Thanks gentlemen! I'm just happy he had the assist for that superb Sinclair goal and that Sherwood is giving him a go.

Still feeling great today. I forgot what it felt like to win two in a row!

Four in a row would be awesome .... another six points!

That's just crazy talk.

I think we'll draw with Sunderland and beat Swansea. But we're totally capable of knocking a few past the mackems and take the points

Beating Sunderland would be massive IMO, at the same time Burnley play Man City, Leicester play Hull, QPR are at Palace, 9 games left after those fixtures so if we can get 3 points whilst Burnley & QPR get none and Leicester and Hull draw would be awesome, UTV...

sunderland is a massive must win! we have to win that.

I actually think we're more likely to beat Sunderland to be honest. They are not in a good place.

Sunderland are vulnerable. We should be winning that one. Their manager is losing the plot and their best player is under suspicion of being a nonce.

It's not must win, 3pts would be brilliant but a draw isn't a disaster because I've got Leicester, QPR, and Burnley losing so we'll be more than 1 match above them

I think we've a better chance of winning than they have, but I think they'll go out to make the game scrappy and shit resulting in a bore-draw

At the moment we're better than Sunderland (imo) and we're probably level with Swansea over 90 minutes. Four to six points is not beyond reach.

Liverpool can't beat Blackburn
One of Man Utd or Arsenal will be out
Reading or Bradford under Sherwood should be beatable

The stars are aligning .... But I'm still hoping for a Reading or Bradford semi draw!

IT would be rather nice.

Looking forward to finishing work so I can finally watch the second half. I only got to see the first and had to dash to my night shift. Full respect to me better half for flying through the busy Cornish roads to get me their on time (and missing first ten mins of second half herself). Got a feeling we will get Reading or Bradford, I have thought it for a while. It's been a great week so let's hope it continues.

It would be nice to get reading or Bradford. Under TS we feel invincible.
Just started work, I am amazed just how quiet it is. On Friday I had baggies, wolves and small heath fans telling me how crap we were and how the baggies was going to beat us.
The silence is deafening today.

Villa are back, it must be really frustrating to the other west midland fans.
