O'Neill disappointed by away draw

Martin O'Neill will watch Cheltenham play Doncaster next Tuesday night

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was left slightly frustrated by another away draw in the fourth round of this season's FA Cup.

Villa's reward for their 2-1 win at Gillingham is a trip to either Cheltenham or Doncaster Rovers.

"Well, away from home again, it'll be much the same as today perhaps," O'Neill told BBC WM after the draw.

"Obviously I'll get across to watch the teams play, but I'd have been relieved if we could've got a home draw."

Villa now face three away games in 10 days, with the cup tie sandwiched between Premier League trips to Sunderland and Portsmouth.

If Doncaster survive their trip to Cheltenham (postponed on Saturday), they will be looking to claim the West Midlanders' scalp for the second time in just over three years following their 3-0 Carling Cup victory at their old Belle Vue home in November 2005.
