Bristol Rovers vs. Aston VillaSaturday, January 7thLocation: Memorial Stadium, Bristol

Goodness me -- Alex McLeish said he'd take the FA Cup seriously, but really....a full strength starting XI to face League Two side Bristol Rovers? (and yes, I'm convinced Non-Sir truly believes that Emile Heskey is on the same level as Gabriel Agbonlahor). McLeish already acknowledged that the players are exhausted -- not sure this is going to help any.
Ah well, UTV!
Bristol Rovers Starting XI: Michael Poke, Danny Woodards, Cian Bolger, Aaron Downes, Gary Sawyer, Craig Stanley, Andy Dorman, Chris Zebroski, Eliot Richards, Mustapha Carayol, Joe Anyinsah.
Bristol Rovers Bench: Michael Smith, Scott McGleish, (there are two) Brown, Lance Cronin, Kayne McLaggon, Joradan Goddard, Byron Anthony.
Aston Villa Starting XI: Brad Guzan, Alan Hutton, James Collins, Richard Dunne, Stephen Warnock, Stiliyan Petrov, Marc Albrighton, Ciaran Clark, Stephen Ireland, Darren Bent, Emile Heskey.
Aston Villa Bench: Gabby Agbonlahor, Barry Bannan, Andy Marshall, Gary Gardner, Andreas Weimann, Fabian Delph, Charles N'Zogbia.

Well: innovators in that their pitch looks like a minefield

Hutton just got pushed down, if that's any consolation

Can't wait until he falls through the pitch and finds himself in the setting from 'Labyrinth'

This comment seems appropriate
Rovers’ Chris Zebroski has a charge at Stephen Warnock and beats the full-back for pace before sending over a cross that is cleared. Zebroski looks to have a yard on him. Could be a potential avenue for the home side to explore.

From MK: Villa not showing their Premier quality yet

Not enough power on that shot from Heskey.
Did not even make it into the crowd.

I truly don't have any idea what Alan Hutton is trying to do at any point

These announcers don't really hold back on their opinions.
Ripping on Heskey and Warnock, not that it’s not deserved.

There you go Mr. Albrighton.
Nice run and finish from Elf.

That was purrrrty
Petrov has been pretty damn good for at least a month.
Contributor at HOCKEENIGHT and 7500 To Holte
Oh, they do have tools to keep up the pitch.

People clamoring to keep Guzan in net when/if Shay gets back
Not sure how I feel about that. Shay certainly was not the issue when healthy.
