Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Mazrim]

I'm starting to think that perhaps a back-line of:

Walker  Makoun   Petrov   Delph

wouldn't be TERRIBLE if we become desperate. I think I'd rather have experience than the promised 'talent' of the likes of Baker and Lowry, no disrespect to them of course.

I think that is unequivocally the worst suggestion I have ever heard in my life.

Petrov at centre half? I don't think so somehow.

Petrov as a CH?

I've heard it all now

he can't even play as a midfielder

[Risso]

I'd play Barry Bannan in central defence before Petrov to be honest.  I'd probably just go three at the back and ask them to all spread out a bit and run faster before getting Stan involved.

However, it wouldn't suprise me if Houllier has considered it.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

It will be a miracle if anybody on here calls the starting 11 correctly.

[Chris Smith]

Agreed. You can bank on Friedel, Walker, Downing, Young, Makoun and Bent starting and be fairly confident on Reo Coker and Cuellar, after that it's anybody's guess.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm telling ya (Shaggy)

Pires will start.

[WikiVilla]

Villa 3-1 is 12/1 with Paddy Power. I will be having some of that

[Dave P]

This has to be a home win.  Simply has to be.

Is Clarke available ?  If so I's swap him and Baker but otherwise thats the best team we can pick imho.

No unfortunately not suspended for 2 games as has accumulated 10 yellows

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

That team looks as good as anything we have played all season (except. Delph for NRC) Really like the the 3-1 odds of 12-1. So my prediction is guess ?  3-1 Bent Downing Albrighton. Doyle for them .......
