    Not buying the bookies assessment of this tie. Villa must still surely be favourites. Expecting a Premiership side to get a 2 goal win at home to a League 2 side is realistic. Villa will have messed up big time if they do let it slip away.

    Love these kind of games. Underdogs with a result to hang on to, digging in deep against a team that normally would be expected to beat them handily.

    Still think we'll see a Villa v Chelsea final, but really want to see Bradford do it.

    Well the team can't accuse the fans of not being up for this. Great display there.

    Yes Villa should be good enough to overturn this.

    Don't hate Villa but would like to see Bradford get one for underdog.

    Remember watching Benteke's first game for Villa thinking he looked an awful player. Now he looks like one of their best.

    Villa continue to look like a poor Premier League team but they're miles better than Bradford. They'll walk this now.

    I think he should be. Villa aren't improving. Same mistakes every week.

    We just cannot defend corners and crosses. We're going to be targeted there for the rest of the season.

    Look at the players in the side. I'd give him 2-3 years. Also Villa have a crop of good youngsters yet to come through apparently. Give the guy time.

    should some of the villa players be playing at this level is the bigger question.

    premier league referees have to pass fitness tests before and during the season so he obviously is 'fit' to referee.

    although Dowd has failed a fitness test last year :P
