Because Villa will have been expecting it perhaps.

He is not fully fit perhaps.

The manager prefers to start with a formation that doesn't suit him perhaps.

There are more possibilities, of course.

Yes one possibility is frank knows better than any of us.

[Derbados]

Holmes a huge miss, Huddlestone and Johnson very limited mobility wise, villas midfield is quick and mobile, McGinn and Grealish worry me. 

However, in Frank we trust, come on you Rams!

Have u been impressed then recently? Others don’t deserve a start over him?

Don't tell me, it's a game of opinions, you hope to be proved wrong etc etc ad nauseam.

[Zag zig]

Brave line up, big call no Marriott and Huddlestone.

Step forward Bennett and Mount

[Van der MoodHoover]

Suggests we may try not to play around so much in central midfield which is where villa are strong.

There will have been some thought given by Frank, of that I'm sure. It may not work out, but he will have had a plan.

I'm on the 5th tier bar at Wembley.  Can't see @kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong anywhere and he said he'd buy me a 500ml ?

[jono]

Can’t help thinking this is frank wanting to wrong foot Dean Smith and have some firepower for the later stages.

Who knows. .. don’t care, everyone of them is a Ram 

[Rampage]

Knight, MacDonald, Evans, Jozefzoon?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Holmes, Marriott or Waghirn so keep it tight for 60 mins then two fresh strikers. Not convinced. When you have been running for 60 mins you do not want Marriott or Waghorn to come on. Early goal against us then we are struggling.

[AndyinLiverpool]

Frank says: "I want them to play with freedom. We can win this game or we could lose this game but as long as the players give everything I'll be proud and the fans will be."

Come on you Rams.

I'm by 502 entrance chap!!....come and find us,,!

[Ramarena]

I suppose the hope is that Johnson and Hudds give Mount lawrence and Wilson more freedom to roam but it’s a big pitch and Hudds legs will feel it.

marriott was always going to be a tough call, Mason Bennett played a big part against Leeds 

[SaintRam]

It's the half hour before kick off of games like this that I really regret caring about football. That feeling wont go away for a week if this goes poorly ? 

[G-Ram]

Bennett has done well this season.. Save marriott we might have 120mins of football to play 

[angieram]

Not a bad view!

If it goes poorly, we get up tomorrow and start again. The world will still be full of beauty.

Brave decision seeing that 14 of the last 15 play off winners that scored first have won. 

[BathRam72]

Bring it on. Fortune favours the brave.

Of course, but I'll hate football the whole time ?

But none of the teams that had lost their home leg had gone on to win a semi final before. I actually relax more when we give a goal head start at this point. It’s all part of the plan. 

Also, different league, but Charlton did it yesterday.
