Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[peter w]

5-2 to Villa

You still having to type really lightly JD?

[mozza]

If Ireland is fit play the guy in his preferred position and Ashley on
the left with Super Marc getting a rest ............

It's KMac's last match in charge so I hope he signs off with a win

Reckon on Gabby scoring  but Zat Knight getting late equaliser for Trotters
1-1   

[PaulTheVillan]

Bolton are without Davies, Jussi Jascwhateverhisnameis and possibly Kevin Davies.

Andy O'Brien will play with Knight at the back.

[Simon Ward]

Missing the £10 tickets on this one to take my eldest son for his first term at uni. He will pay for that!

Andy O'Brien is the worst player ever to 'grace' the Premier League - plus we've scored 13 in our last 3 home games against Bolton. I'm going for 5-1 Villa.

I actually thought that Paul "dirty ex-Albion bastard" Robinson was the worst player in the PL.

Either way that's half of their back 4 that we agree are extremely shite.

Robinson will give us loads of free kicks tomorrow with his constant fouling. Let's hope we take advantage.

[The Man With A Stick]

Don't forget JLo, is he still there?

[pauliewalnuts]

I hope:

- we win
- we raise our game for our watching new manager
- Bolton play their annual suicidally high line defence against our pace

I think:

- we'll win

I know our last match was another horrendous Stoke City disaster, but if we can play for a spell like we did in that 25 minute chunk of Monday's game, then we could, and should, put tomorrow's game out of sight without any real problems.

Don't forget JLo, is he still there?

Yes, he is, but he has not trained this week.

[Pete3206]

According to the OS, there is only 65 days left until kick off. Can't wait.

Cahill usually seems to have a stinker against us, but I'm still glad that he's out for the game.

Hopefully Kevin Davies will be too.

Edited as I'm going barmy....

[Rip Van We Go Again]

This is a banker, Andy O'Brien is totally shit and they have no Jussi in goal, one of the best keepers in the Premier in fact.
Add the fact that Cohan can't play due to Yom Kippur and the possible exclusion of Davies.

3 points for sure.

[TopDeck113]

2-0 Ashley and Petrov

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Anyone know Irelands fitness situation?

[Matt Collins]

Coyle has only ever managed to take either Burnely or Bolton to a clean sheet away from home once in the premier league. We normally score at least 4 at home to Bolton. They have their keeper and best defender out, and possibly their best fwd - though elmander does seem to have found his scoring boots.

I reckon we'll get a good win here. Minimum of 3 goals for me.
