On This Day
Villa revert to type under Paul Lambert and deliver a woeful display to be knocked out of the League Cup by League One side Orient.
Joe Cole, 32, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from West Ham United on a free transfer in July 2014 to become the 871st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Shay Given makes his first appearance in a Villa shirt since 25 January 2013 having been ostracised by Paul Lambert for the last 59 games. Given's return to the side left him with 44 Appearances since signing under Alex McLeish 3 years previously and W10 D16 L18, 67 Goals Conceded, 8 Clean Sheets and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
18 year old Midfielder Jack Grealish makes his first start for Villa after his debut substitute appearance in May 2014.
Andreas Weimann suffers his 40th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 97th appearance (71 Starts) to make it W32 D25 L40, 21 Goals, 7 Assists and 7 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Just 17,000 watch Paul Lambert's Villa lose to League One Orient.

Bottom 8
What they Said
โWe had enough chances but never took them. When you donโt take chances, at any level of football, then you get punished. You donโt have a divine right to beat any team.
โDarren Bent is deadly in those situations and on another night they would have gone in. But like I said, if you donโt take chances things like that happen.
โItโs disappointing because in the first two Premier League games weโve been absolutely solid - we havenโt conceded a goal. Shayโs save was a warning and we never took that warning, but it should never have got that far. We should have finished it off.โ
Paul Lambert, Wednesday, 27 August 2014.
*Premier League Aston Villa suffered a shock exit from the Capital One Cup as Romain Vincelotโs late header gave Leyton Orient a dramatic victory.*
The League One side had earlier hit the woodwork when Mathieu Baudryโs header was pushed on to the bar by Shay Given.
Darren Bent had Villaโs best chance but was denied by Gary Woodsโs save and Nathan Baker and Ashley Westwood also headed off target when well placed.
But Vincelot scored in the 87th minute, following Bradley Pritchardโs corner.
Orient, 14th in the third tier of English football, held on for the victory to move into the third round of the competition for only the second time in 23 years.
Nevertheless, it was an embarrassing night for a Villa side who failed to hit the target in their 0-0 draw against Newcastle on Saturday and only had one effort on target at home against a side two divisions below them.
Bent, making his first start for Paul Lambertโs team since May 2013, was played through by debutant Joe Cole but Oโs goalkeeper Woods saved the shot with his legs.
Orient ended strongly as Baudry hit the crossbar and Jay Simpson had a goal ruled out for offside, before Vincelot converted Pritchardโs cross.
That goal was enough for Russell Sladeโs team, who will entertain fellow League One side Sheffield United in the third round.
