Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Irreverent ad]

Can't see a clean sheet here. It has been a very bad week but i fancy it to end on a high, 3-2 Villa win. Bent, Downing and Gabby in the last minute. It's being shown in the Western St Austell if anybody is around here!!!

Will there be enough time for all the restarts?!

[Rigadon]

Scraped draw if we're lucky.  This season is shockingly bad.

[CJ]

Collins out of tomorrows game. I will revise my prediction to a 2-2 draw. Baker and Clark in the centre.

That's bad news - no Collins, Dunne or Cuellar. Davies will bully Baker and Clark all afternoon.  Regretfully revising my prediction from a draw to a defeat

[VillaZogmariner]

Maybe should've recalled Lichaj or Lowry.

Although I'm sure I've read somewhere that Luke Young is back in the squad.

[WikiVilla]

Who are the CBs for the stiffs ?

[eamonn]

You sure Collins is out? Fuck me, can we loan Curtis back for one game or summat?

If Lowry plays surely we must be near to breaking a club record of most players used in one season, if we haven't already.

[luke25]

Maybe Emile at centre back? He's played there before and we really don't have anybody else, would counter the ariel threat of Davies too

Collins is out according to the o/s. With  young inexperienced defence, our best form of the aforementined is to attack.

They score four, we score five mentality.

Front six of Bent, Heskey. Agbonlahor, Young, Downing and Albrighton.

[russon]

Bolton 2-0 Villa. By the way, are Owen Coyle's top set falsers? He needs them re-setting, they fit his chops as convincingly as Dennis Waterman's ludicrous effort.

[Bad English]

But coming from fucking Bolton?!

That would be the 'fucking Bolton' who have won the FA Cup four times (including one victory more recent than the Villa's, I might add), and the League Cup as many times as SHA?

Living in the past then ?

Pot / kettle / black !

They're still a non event though, Bolton - we sell out every time we go due to the fact that they have such dire support, Villa fans treat it like a home game.

I've just seen 39 visits to the Bolton-Villa Match thread and 36 to the post-match thread on the list.  Has Legion said something other than, 'ready when you need it'  ?!

[Legion]

Nope. Just the usual.

[Shrek]

I play


Friedel

Herd Baker Clark Walker

NRC Delph

Albrighton Ash Downing

Bent

Herd impressed me against city and Walker has played left back before.

NRC and Delph will provide legs and energy in the middle to help protect the back four.

If Petrov and Bradley are anywhere near the pitch we will definatly lose.

[RogerS]

Please, would anyone travelling to tomorrow's game have their Villa kit on under their clothes, and have their boots strung around their neck.  Chances are you'll get a game.
