Bradford City vs Aston Villa LC Semi Final first leg SS1 19:45

Paul Tergat

How the hell are villa missing all these chances? Bent would have a field day here

Paully D

Fantastic save that, top stuff.

GLaDOS

Duke looks like he's having one of those days

Paul Tergat

and again. matter of time

shoutman

Sky sports second commentator is doing my head in, Duke hasn't had a hard save to make! All the shots have gone straight at him, he would of had to dive out of the way not to save!

Edit: First impressive save from duke.

OneColdHand

Bent in for Gabby.

Francie Barrett

Villa defence looks so fragile, you can easily see why they've been shipping so many goals.

Anyone

Jesus....I hadnt realised Bradford were in the 2nd Div(4th Division in old money). That really is some huge fall, I remember them as a Premier League Club.

Anyway, makes what they have done in this comp even more remarkable.

JPA

Nzogbia needs to stop running into difficult situations.

So many problems when they got relegated from the prem

Bennett is not playing well at all. I've been watching him closely in this half. Hines is beating frequently.

And apart from that, when he's going forward he's poor too. In the second half he's made 1 completed forward pass, he's run infield once - and promptly lost the ball, he's pumped the ball forward 4 times (2 of which were nowhere near a villa player, and 2 of which Benteke got a head on, but that was it). Very poor.

Hines off now, Bennett must be delighted.

Paul Tergat

riding our luck here big time

OneColdHand

Bent misses a sitter.

shoutman

WOW! How did bent miss that one.

Paully D

Nice one Benty, 50p head :pac::pac:

* Cue goal

I suppose that can happenswhen you're manager doesn't ever play you. You get rusty. Can't expect him to come in and automatically start putting every single chance away.

But yeah, he should probably still have scored.

markesmith

Villa are looking out of their depth here, not good at all

I agree.

Jaysus 2-0

Francie Barrett

Wow! Well deserved goal!

OneColdHand

F*ck sake. Disgraceful villa.

Paul Tergat

****ING 2-0!!!!!!

Paul Tergat

CMONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

CSF

Lambert could not be under more pressure than he is right now. Get Ireland the **** on.

Paul Tergat

**** nearly 3

JPA

Sooooo bad.

Paul Tergat

Nahki must be getting picked up by a bigger club soon

OneColdHand

Bradford hit the crossbar. This is shocking by Villa.

Don't really remember seeing Bannan touch the ball, not sure how he's still on the pitch.

No matter how rusty he may be, everyone would expect him to score a header from 3 yards.

Europa League at Valley Parade next season:-)

Paul Tergat

Ah fcuk

OneColdHand

1 back! Yesss! Weimann.

shoutman

Good man Andy!
Great finish!

Paully D

That goal will be enough to ensure that Villa go through over two legs.

CSF

Good man Weimann

shoutman

Know next to nothing about this young lad Burke - any good?

Paul Tergat

Hold please city, keep it interesting

Hoping he proves me wrong, but Lambert's policy is becoming increasingly frustrating.

Francie Barrett

Was Bent injured?

Jelle1880

Sacked in the morning

shoutman

Bennett has been done so many times by different players tonight. Awful!

Paul Tergat

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

OneColdHand

Oh my god. Embarassing.

Awful, awful defending from villa.

ollie1

What a great header

CSF

My patience with Lambert has officially ended.

shoutman

FFS!

Francie Barrett

The Villa defence is just so awful.

CSF

I actually don't think N'Zogbia could be more **** if he intentionally tried to be.

listermint

N'zogbia just awful one man steam roller. Can he not pick a bloody pass out

When you're given a free header it's pretty easy...

Paully D

Cracking game.

Terrible from Benteke on that third goal mind, atrocious defending.
