Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[maigrait]

This should be a bread and butter win 3-1 to the villa.

Come on lads keep momentum going.

[PaulTheVillan]

They've not won away or at VP for a while.....

We nearly always win at home against Bolton. They're bottom with only 2 points and we've won 3 in a row.

Will be mighty cheesed off if we don't win.

Kodija hat trick it's his time to shine. Hogan would relish this fixture to. What I'm saying 3 goals and then some,!!
Unchanged line up would make sense but even Samba or Agbonlahor and Richards could play and still run out winners. Bolton W great club great traditions shame they struggling think came up too soon and struggle as a result of off field

[Pete3206]

1-0 win

[l_mckay]

2-0 win. Kodija and snodgrass

[Lizz]

3-0 to us.

Complacency could be a factor here if this thread is anything to go by.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

If we start with the same tempo as Tuesday night and score early, then it could and should be a similar result.

[Brend'Watkins]

If we approach this as we have the last few games we will win easily. Bruce has to make sure that's what we do. An early goal could see a real hiding being dished out.

The next challenge for us is how we react when teams come for a point when they play us  (home and away). Its been a very long time since we've been good enough to break down teams who put massed ranks behind the ball. Tomorrow will be a good test of that I reckon.

Agreed, it's how Bruce sets the team up and the tactics he employs. We've not exactly shone at breaking teams down when they park the bus.

Did they not beat us 2 1 last time they played at VP? Always remembered them being a bogey side for us apart from under MON

[Comrade Blitz]

5-0

I'd love to win big, on paper that might seem plausible but after more than half a decade of the worst I've ever known Villa to be I'll gladly take any sort of win for now.

In an ideal world, I'd love to see us continue to play decent football, scoring a couple of goals. That would be optimum for me.
