Barrow v Aston Villa

[watcher]

That "Master" at this time, was the Head of the Boys School, Fred Robinson. I believe at one time, he was a biology teacher although that was before my time. The other teacher was called Mossop.

I guess Sam Price had left by then and Robinson was in the picture as he had been promoted.

Yeah I would guess so, I never came across him, Robinson was head when i started but that was a couple of years before Gary Stevens.

Correct..."Chip" Robinson was deputy head and took over when Sam Price retired in about 1967/68.
And yes he was a bit of a tyrant!

We take a look at the latest from both camps ahead of Tuesday evening’s Carabao Cup Second Round tie against Aston Villa at The Dunes Hotel Stadium (7.45pm kick-off).

Mark Cooper has no new injury worries as he finalises his preparations for Tuesday night’s televised meeting with Premier League Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.

The Bluebirds looks set to remain without former Villa youngster Dimitri Sea, while Matty Platt is likely to miss out as he recovers from a back problem.

Mike Jones is building his fitness after undergoing Achilles surgery, Jamie Devitt is still receiving treatment for a thigh injury and Tom Beadling is out longer term with a partial tear in his cruciate ligament.

Villa boss Dean Smith is tipped to make a number of changes to his starting eleven for their first ever competitive visit to Barrow on Tuesday evening.

The game is likely to come too soon for front man Ollie Banks who sat out Saturday’s win over Newcastle United with a bruised knee, while summer signing Leon Bailey is battling a hamstring issue.

Bertrand Traore, Morgan Sanson, Trezeguet and Keinan Davis have all spent time in the Villa treatment room during recent weeks so seem unlikely to feature against The Bluebirds.

Been impressed by Ollie Banks but two places at the same time he's surpassed himself !

[Pointless game]

Oldest villa player is about 21 tomorrow.
Pointless cup used for under 23s.
A bit advanced on their cup game v Liverpool.
Basically watching seas team mates about same standard but not released yet in hope until their contracts expire.
Bring your phones you will be googling the first 11.
Why hasn't this cup been disbanded yet?
I hope Cooper makes 8 changes bigger game Saturday.

Yeah pointless game except if it is a young Villa side we will then have a chance to progress, more winning money and chance to get drawn against another Premier league team!,
Yes totally POINTLESS!
