5-live says we're defending well. Frustrating Villa, Harper is on song, not creating much, Villa taking the initiative, but we're still very much in this game. Toon fans in good voice.

Well this is a one-man match thread at the moment but for anyone who cares here is the line-up;

Harper, Griffin, Hughes, Marcelino, Goma, Acuna, Bassedas, Speed, Glass, Ameobi, Gallacher,

Subs:Given, Barton, Cordone, Lua-Lua, Gavilan

Good news, Southgate is off. Bad news, Speed is struggling and might have to come off.

Half-time.

Half Time

Aston Villa playing much better football- 1st to most balls etc. Theyve had plenty of half chances and a couple of good ones- good saves by Harper and Glass on line.

Were defending well in general though but looking disorganized at the back. Only players of note=Amoebi+Harper- Marcellino the most committed and best player in the team tonight- no joke- good tackling and very determined heading.

5-3-2 aint working as usual and theyre getting down the right past Glass in particular. Need 4-4-2 back quickly. Our wing backs arent doing ANYTHING worthwhile so change it Bobby!

Nothing attacking of note from us. Bassedas not up to it though the occasional insicive pass from him. Gallagher rare opportunities to touch the ball. Speed not really in it. Acuna good work rate but in+out of it. Glass too busy tracking their right side attack. Goma +Hughes OK.

Min I've 5-live, crackly reception, fades in + out, but I'll keep you posted as best I can. Amazed how few of us there are. This is the Cup for Gods sake, and our only chance of a bit of silverware. No great match from the sounds of things, but I hope the lads are as fired up as I am. Still Palace 1 Mackems 0.

Good and fair description Spud!

Evenin` folks - enjoying(?) the luxury of a televised match, but couldn`t resist say `hello`. I reckon it`s anybody`s guess who will win - though I think we should look a bit better in the second half when wor Bobby`s had a little chat.

HOWAY THE LADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:o)

Pretty grim so far - except, I suppose, that we're still in it.
Villa are just walking through our midfield and putting constant pressure on our defence, which although looking pretty disorganised, are at least getting tackles and blocks in. Glass looks lost at LWB, and Griffin isn't in the game very much either.

Bassedas looks totally out of his depth, and Speed seems to be carrying a knock. Acuna is covering acres of ground, and is probably our best midfield player, but I'm afraid that's not saying very much.

Harper has made one great save from Stone (yes again!) and looked solid on crosses. Gallagher has flitted around to not much effect, while Ameobi has held the ball up well with no real support, and James has had nothing at all to do at all.

Pretty poor stuff, but we're still level with everything to play for in the 2nd half. Bobby looks totally brassed off.

Haway you Maggies!!

Hope to take you up on that Min. What time is it in NZ? Speed is off, Barton is on, Barton Centre-Half with Goma and Marcelino, Hughes pushed up into midfield(?).

Southgate off, Gareth Barry on. Second-half underway, still 0-0

-- Anonymous, January 17, 2001

Hugely spirited last 15 mins of the game- we pushed forward too late and the ball just didnt fall for a decent shot on goal. Acuna in particular got forward and made a big difference- Bassedas looked much more useful in the holding position. Lua showed hes definetly a biggie for the future- improved holding and passing the ball but the final ball not coming off. Missing first team players finaly caught up with us im afraid.

-- Anonymous, January 17, 2001

Ouch!!!!!! That was painful!!!!! Have to give the lads their due though, they did pick up the pace and they were really trying in the second half. Just wasn`t coming together for them - not suprising with a cobbled together team. Still hurts though, Bobby`s face said it all. (:o!

Highlight of the night? I do believe I saw a close up of our very own Sting! Anyone confirm the sighting? (:o)

Stevo - indebted to you for typing all that and keeping us updated. With no TV, radio etc i owe you several pints next time i'm over...

Well, you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Witha full compliment of players [injuries and suspensions] we'd have done it, but perhaps it's whisper *what we need*. More games we can do without - at least til we get everyone fit enough to take the field. We fight on, we bounce back. We live to fight another day. Starting on Saturday.....

Beaten by a fluke goal - SEASON NOW OVER! MOTM? Probably Acuna - edging out Marcelino.
