I really think Bent would benefit from Bannan playing. Bannan has the kind of vision that nobody other than Petrov has in our squad, and is much less afraid to try things than Petrov, and with the kinds of runs Bent makes Bannan could set up hatfuls of chances for him/us.

For this one I'd put in Bannan instead of Gabby and move Downing to the left.

Pissed off, I've got a 2pm meeting tomorrow in Cheshunt which wont finish til 3 earliest
What time is KO 745pm ?
Would I make it to Wigan in time ? Whats the parking like there ? never been before

Just say you popped "Chester" into your Sat Nav instead of Cheshunt and by the time you realised your mistake you would have missed the meeting anyway.

Christ I`ve lived up here too long ...I `m starting to think like a Scouser :)

Second match on the trot I've been looking forward to .........surely it can't last

Saturday's win even if fortunate will give the lads a massive boost, it's done
wonders for my Villa mates -

Don't expect we have sold our allocation but anticipate a few might buy tickets
on the night and cheer us on to second win in four days-

Another clean sheet and a goal each for Daz (who else) & Gabby -

Gabby has got to get on the score sheet. His justification for being in the starting team is slipping away. O-2 Gabby Downing ...

That was an excellent ball he played through for Ashley in the build up to our game on Saturday, but yes, other than that, I tend to agree with you.
