Wolverhampton Wanderers *spit* v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[TonyD]

Cannot see us keeping a clean sheet.  So a 2-1 win to us with an Ireland brace.

[Matt C]

I'll say 1-1 again.

Remember the one at their hole last season fondly, watched it in the 81 Suite at VP and had a great time. Match was crap of course.

[Matt Collins]

I agree with Monty and others. The thought of dropping Petrov for sidwell is hilarious.

[Legion]

Same here.

[mozza]

Draw for me with Young7 getting us a share of the spoils 1-1

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Surely we cannot drop the player who is still thinking he has a chance in the England midfield. The all round ball playing, goalscoring, defensive maestro. Reo "i am on the funny mushrooms" Coker !!!!!  Oh ye 0-1 come on Villa ...........

[TimTheVillain]

Tight as usual.

1-0 Villa

That midfield looks a bit lightweight. I'd leave NRC in to add a bit of muscle in the middle. I'd play Young down the middle alongside the other striker as well.

Petrov and Ireland will get completely outfought and overrun in midfield, NRC has to play imo. He's not the best passer but it wont be that sort of game, we need him getting stuck in because Ireland won't do that and Petrov is knackered by half time. Downing will go hiding and shit himself as usual aswell, pansy.

[PeterWithe]

Few of the teams around us have had good results so we could really do with taking advantage and getting a win in this one.

2-1 to Wolves then.

tbf, Ireland has got stuck in with his tackling and defensive duties since he's joined... I don't think anyone can really criticize him for that part of his game.

I'd like to see Houllier play Cuellar and Collins in defence, Petrov and Coker in midfield with Ireland just playing off the striker. I don't know though... it will be interesting to see the manager's team selection.

We are going to win this one  but  not a foregone conclusion.  The  results today show that surprise results are possible  and after WBA won  at Arsenal  after 27 years  we need to make sure Wolves don't  end our 32 year unbeaten run against them.

With this formation we will either win 5-0 or lose 5-0.
