I wonder if so many signings have been a good thing ? Apart from Costa and Bod, although even Bod has only scored 2 goals. Are Price, Wallace, Evans and Coady not as good as Saiss or Prince, or the inconsistent on loan Tex ? Are Silvio, Borthwick and Staerman adding anything ?

Villa have won twice since we decimated them last weekend. We are pointless, and without a goal in almost 4 hours of play.

Doesn't sound like we are creating a lot. I can see a Leeds winner coming....

Zenga's glasses are too rose tinted. I was at the Norwich game. Norwich were a different class to us, especially in the first half, but there was Zenga saying we were unlucky, on the basis of one Dickon opportunity ! Apparently he has just done the same about the Brighton game, because we...

Last night was a missed opportunity to bring in fresh legs and give players like Price and Wallace an opportunity. Squad rotation is surely sensible for an early midweek game ?

We will benefit from some fresh legs for Tuesday. It wonder if Wallace and Price will get a look in. Tex should play, although the lad needs to stop biting his nails !

I don't agree. Jail and losing your career are serious consequences, for what was probably no more than the kind of seedy drunken affair most people get up to in their twenties. Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

The whole team played well. Hats off to Edwards, I thought he was outstanding in the second half. Pity that Coady has no idea in the final quarter of the pitch - but a true grafter worth his place. As for team selection, we still need our flair players. Two of Cav, Tex and Dicko need to start...

Agreed. Too much talent on the bench, too many workhorses on the pitch. Hope things work out.

Bit of a daft question, but I've been in Oz for a few years, back in UK this weekend. Have tickets for Norwich game, but not Brentford. Is the Brentford game all ticket or can I pay at the door ? Thanks.

In the good old days, when we won two League Cups, played in 3 FA Cup semi finals, and finished in the top half of the old League 1, we simply played our best team each game. I don't remember Hibbit, Carr, Gray or Richards being "rested." It's not a 27 man workers co-operative. We should leave...

I hope that we don't play a complete second team. If we win tonight, and get a home draw in the next round, Wembley is not out of the question. Not joking either. We are long overdue the thrill of a good Cup run.

Is Wallace injured ?

The only bench Edwards should be on is the local park.

I have no expectations for the two Newcastle games. We'll lose both and play two different teams doing it. But that needs to be the cut off point for Zenga to pick his best 11.

If Edwards is in tonight's squad, we will do no good tonight. Apart from that, I don't care if the cleaning lady plays. We need a win tonight, and 3 or 4 goals, to get our season moving.

Gladon sounds OK. All credit to Zenga for getting him stuck in.

Sam Allardyce is surely the next Mike Bassett. Classic comment about Rooney. Er Sam, it is your role to tell Rooney where to play, you're the manager for God's sake ! Waiting for Benson and Hedges to join the squad.

Yes, Zenga is a real breath of fresh air. Passionate, a bit of a maverick, talks a certain amount of BS, but overall seems to be a top guy. Having said that, I don't reckon he'll be here next year unless we get promoted.

There's going to be a lot of pressure on Zenga now. Zenga's flops is an easy headline. It's vital that we get a string of wins together early on.
