Title: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Legion on January 15, 2012, 08:05:30 PM: I hate these bastards with a passion.

Hoping for: 0-8 Bent x3; Gabby x3; Keane x2

Expecting: 1-1 Gabby for us (12), Fletcher for them (88).

Post by: James on January 15, 2012, 08:15:47 PM: If ever there was a 'must win' game this is it! No points here and bottom five is a reality, a draw isn't enough of a result for us or them. Winning against the teams beneath us now will be the difference between staying up and going down. Sadly, I just can't see us winning, so I'll just close my eyes and cross my fingers I think!

Title: Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Nastylee on January 15, 2012, 08:32:31 PM: We're a much better outfit away from home at the moment so looking for us to sneak it by a goal. Would be tempted to play N'Zogbia instead of Marc from the right. Think we could hurt them on the break with him and Gabby supporting Bent, Ireland from the middle with Petrov/Clark holding the fort.

Post by: SoccerHQ on January 15, 2012, 08:44:58 PM: Can see us losing this one 2-1 as a) I'm going and b) after years of dominating them, the Black country teams seem to have the sign over us at the minute.

Think we'll take the lead in the first half and it will all collapse in the second half, sort of how last year was going until Heskey nodded one in at the end.

Post by: The Laughing Policeman on January 15, 2012, 09:50:03 PM: Going there in the 70's and 80's was always a nightmare. Especially for a night game.
Where the bus station is now used to be a railway goods yard and the bastards would lie in wait in there for the trains to arrive and ambush us. The police escort was always uncannily late in arriving to take us to the ground.
It'll be 2-1 to us with the young Mr. Keane getting the winner.

Post by: Toronto Villa on January 16, 2012, 12:21:53 AM: I have way more confidence of us playing on the road than at VP. I think this sets up nicely for a 3-1 win and a goal from Robbie to really rub it in.

Looking at the table, winning this game could actually give us some breathing space between the bottom 7 clubs. I cant see Baggies beating Stoke or Fulham getting a result against Newcastle...however, it will be a very grim weekend if we lose and those results go against us.

Post by: Rick_avfc on January 16, 2012, 09:50:58 AM: Anyone else think that its about time Warnock was dropped from the first team set up for a few weeks if not permanently? Honestly, he is pants and he should not accept his wages for the next 2 weeks. No we all know why GH dropped him. pile of shit player
Title: Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Concrete John on January 16, 2012, 09:57:40 AM: If Herd is back I'd like to see him play and Clark move to LB. And even if he isn't, I'd still drop Warnock and try something different in midfield. Also agree with dropping Gabby as the balance of the side is served better if we don't try and accomodate both him and bent in the side, other than in a 4-4-2:-

Given

Hutton
Collins (although I'd prefer Carlos)
Dunne
Clark

Petrov
Herd

Super Marc
Ireland
N'Zogbia

Bent

Got a feeling we'll win this, so going to go 1-2 to us with Petrov and N'Zogbia netting one each. They'll get a late goal and it'll then be backs to the wall for the last 10 minutes.
Title: Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: TheBarneyArmy on January 16, 2012, 10:05:52 AM: I'd be happy with a draw, already made the fatal mistake of betting on the Villa. The draw at VP already cost me now hoping for at least a draw to even things out. Although the finishing above them bet should be in the bag. I hope. 1-1 step forward Mr R. Keane in the last minute.

Title: Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Le Lapin on January 16, 2012, 11:19:39 AM: Have to win this one or we will start to loose that tiny bit of momentum that we have put together.
Hutton, Collins and Warnock will be targetted by any teams we are playing from now on. All our defenders, and to a lesser degree Dunne, are really not really at the races for some reason. If they get their shit together and play well in this game, this will breed confidence into the rest of team and we might play well for the full 90mins and not in fits and starts.
1-2, a nervy last ten minutes after a defensive fcuk up. Bent and Gabby.

I think N'Zogbia will connect better with Ireland, Given proved why he is our number 1 (proved me wrong as I'd have kept Guzan) and Delph simply could not be any worse than Warnock defensively but is far superiour going forward.

1-3 Bent; Fletcher; Gabby x2

I'm in with us, but the lad is in the Steve Bull/John Ireland Stand Upper, with a seat brought by some Wolves friends of mine. He's normally a jinx at away matches (apart from West ham and the Arse last season), so I think we're gonna lose.

Don't hate Wolves in the slightest, unlike their Sandwell neighbours. They tend to be fairly tolerant of Villa and their Fans by and large.(Obviously someone will have certain incidents to the contrary), but living amongst them, that tends to be the case.

Tonight they look terrible. If we can find any form we should beat these comfortably 0-2 Ireland Collins ....

They do look terrible, but i think he made 10 changes tonight so we'll see a different Wolves line up at the weekend unfortunatley.
I dont think he made that many, he is obviously more concerned bout survival than the FA Cup, yes they will be a bit better but Fletcher is the only change you would worry about, if our defence holds up we will beat them.

Rightly or wrongly, this, I think this will be the side he goes with.

Given
Hutton
Dunne
Collins
Warnock

Clark
Petrov
Ireland

Keane
Agbonlahor
Bent

There should be enough in that team to win at Wolves.
you are right except he wont start Keane, Nzog or Albrighton will start

Agree with last few posts - we need to go there determined to win as i feel attack them and they are there for the taking

AS always we have the better players its down to how they are set out to play and how motivated they are to actually win.

A draw there will be a poor result for me

That's my entire strategy right there. I don't care how we win, I want three points. Sort of like a 'Moneyball' approach. Defense doesn't score you goals. And by putting out the players with the highest chances of creating/scoring a goal it would allow us to essentially win the game, without playing anyone out of their preferred position.

I want to win. I don't care if it's 1-0, 3-2, or 8-7.

Agree re Keane but that would be another mistEck as he would need to be subbed after 60. Logically, Gabby or Ireland or Albrighton would have to make way for him in the starting line-up, which would be daft.

Title: Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: brontebilly on January 20, 2012, 07:44:34 AM: If we do win it will be a narrow one. As discussed on numerous threads the side isn't set up properly. We are trying to shoehorn a 442 formation into players unsuited to it. In any case, the last thing we should do is move Clark out of midfield. However I expect that change to occur. With Fletcher up front I think Cuellar is definitely more effective against an elusive type of striker. Collins is fine against the physical ones. No chance of that change happening.

Nzogbia should be brought back in on the right but I wouldn't be averse to a vote of confidence being given to Albrighton. Ward is a very poor defender but decent going forward. Whoever is given the vote there has a big opportunity. Almost certainly Gabby will be on the left and Bent up top. Gabby for me looks sick of playing there but McLeish will continue to try and get both of them to play
together.

Ireland will be supporting Bent. Will be interesting to see who partners Petrov in the centre if as I expect Clark is not in midfield. Looks like he is trying to get rid of Delph so Gary Gardner could well be in
line for a start. I'd definitely keep Clark as we need someone to outfight the cloggers they have in there aswell as outplay them.

If McLeish picks the team right I fancy us to nick it 2-1.

Recently they've got very good draws at Spurs and Arsenal but I do think they're vulnerable at Molinuex as the pitch is quite wide and their defence struggles against pace.

Think I'd bring N'zogbia back for this as he's had good games against Wolves playing for Wigan in the past few seasons.

I find it odd we've let delph go on loan. Stan is looking tired and with herd injured we lack solid central options. Certainly suggests Gardner is chomping at the bit. Perhaps Daniel Johnson too? Always been impressed with him.

So in that case basically what you are saying is any of the Wolves players that played the other night v Blues won't be playing today with 10 changes having been made and this was a side that they put out just for that cup game
