It should be a good game. Last season we gave one our best performances down at Villa Park to knock them out. Let's hope we can repeat that form tonight.

is not free for season ticket holders?

This one I'd have gone to, Abbey. I see this as a bit different from attending first team games. However, I am already committed to going somewhere else tonight.

The lads didn't really do themselves justice in what was a fairly poor game of football. Villa were no better and it was no surprise it went to extra-time and penalties. The players one expected to shine didn't with the exception of Stef Mols, who was our best player by some distance. A missed opportunity to make progress in this competition with a home tie against Broxbourne Borough in the next round.

One key playing area for me that the academy don't do very well at is developing strikers.

That is the holy Grail, even if we found a good `en, one of the prem league clubs would nick him before we could blink.
