Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Match Thread

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

[dean saunders left boot]

first thing houllier needs to do when he comes in is to get dunne to shift some weight, bulked up and it's affecting his play something rotten

[TheEgo]

I also predict we will come out comfortable winners. Im going for 4-1

How is Ireland doing?  My stream isn't great and can't really see (or get mixed up with Collins)

[PaulWinch again]

Bulked up? he's just fat.

[Irish villain]

GH will have plenty to ponder....

Ireland quiet.  One or two nice touches but not had much impact so far.

[PaulWinch again]

worst free kick ever.

Our CM is so light. We need to play 3 across to help out Stan, who's past it frankly.
Ireland is never gonna be a central midfielder, he's, pardon the expression, a floater. Defensive duties don't suit him, nor physical tussles. Again a very naive selection by KMac. Granted we have no options, but at minimum, NRC should be in there. Even he's not enough.

If Houllier does this I'll be very worried indeed.

Sitting deep and if Im honest looks lost and lacking confidence

Yes, I was being polite, but you're right he's just fat!!

[Monty]

We're really not looking good at the moment.

It will be the first time we have got something out of a match with KMac in charge after conceding. Unfortunately I can only see a Bolton win now with the only change being Heskey for Albrighton at some arbitrary point in the match when we need to score.

Let's not get carried away because commentators look for incidents and talk up penalty claims.

The first one was never a pen - he had lost possession, hence no claim. Second not so sure given the quality of the feed.

Dunne is struggling as he has all season. The best pairing is Carlos and Collins - better pace and both more reliable. I like Dunne, but not enough to keep him in the team when he is third choice CH.

How has Warnock spent so many years as a defender and still not learned how to tackle.
