I don’t like VAR, but if they are going to use it, it should be transparent. We should get to see the videos that the VAR saw. If that was inclusive then fine, but don’t hide that.
With the Radio Bristol commentary on the highlights - some were moaning on this thread at how ‘excitable’ Owers was on that commentary. When you hear it with the pictures, it was entirely appropriate - some great play by us and some great chances.
Well played lads. Deserved to go through and had our chances, e.g.:

Our replay not on TV:

WEDNESDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2024
Aston Villa v Chelsea at 8pm on ITV1, UTV, STV and ITVX.
I did think it was daft that at least one pub was opening at 5.30am and plenty of others were opening a good few hours before the match! Then coupled with away fans in home end.
Agree with comments above that Pring wasn’t playing as well earlier in the season and he said the same in his post match interview - that he is only now back to his form of last season. Needs to work on his crossing though; room for improvement there (as Manning said in the week).
Agree with that. It’s the decision making in the final position that’s the issue, eg Bell passing to Anis instead of shooting, Pring stepping over for Wells tap in, better crosses etc.
