Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Match Thread

We`re looking bottom three material tbh

[PaulWinch again]

We looked really good for 20-25 minutes, since then we have been fucking awful.

[supertom]

Not remotely advocating we should touch him with a ten foot pole, but Kevin Davies is a good player, and a pain in the bloody arse. Take him over Heskey anyday.

[TheEgo]

We WILL win this. Once this storm is weathered we will come out with renewed confidence and take them apart. Trust me....

Wolves are wining 1-0 at WHL again. I wonder if they can do it for the third game on the trot.

[Irish villain]

The vibe around the club is still so uncertain of itself.

The first one was never a pen - he had lost possession, hence no claim.

What does that have to do with it?  Warnock stuck out a leg and brought the guy down.  Foul, in the area = penalty.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

Dunne has looked shit all season, clearly not fit. Problem is he is our ONLY defensive leader. The rest are lost without him

Disagree. I think Dunne is quiet and Collins is a better organiser/leader. Dunne will also commit more fouls and pick up cards - because he is struggling for fitness.

Some good news!

[eastie]

half time 1-1 and not very convincing so far.

[PaulWinch again]

Christ sort it out Villa.

[Apyadg]

I wonder what Houllier is thinking.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Houllier looks shell-shocked-in a Gallic shrug way.

[Reuben]

Has KM got 'it' to turn things at half time?
When we were 2-0 down to Newcastle and playing ok, even at 3-0 I thought we may turn it around...however that was with last season in mind.  Instead we just sat back....  Similarly at 1-0 up v Everton and maybe today and Stoke, we don't push on.  Whatever we say of MON we turned things around often after half time even without subs!
We need a kick up the arse!

[hilts_coolerking]

We started really really well - Albrighton looked dangerous as did Ashley.

But we've let them get back into it and they've realised they more or less have no effective opposition in the middle of the park.

Not seen much from Ireland yet and Gabby hasn't had much of the ball.  Warnock is struggling to keep their winger quiet.
