Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[atomicjam]

Clearly bored I just added up the available tickets on the officail sites seating chart and made it 1709. Should be a sell out.

The Baggies match was a 3pm kick off too.

Going to be a tense nervy affair.

Will we be up for the fight? Let's bloody hope so.

First goal is KEY.

MOTD will angle it as the relagation fight programme.

Three six pointers - Us v Wolves, Blackburn v Blackpool, Wigan v Blose.

Home win, draw, home win would be the ultimate threesome. But AMmnda Seyfried, Kelly Brook and myself might just beat that.

[Percy McCarthy]

Three home wins for me, only beaten by a Corrie special featuring Tina O'Brien, Cheryl the former lap-dancer and me.

[hawkeye]

I can not contemlate the reaction there would be if we lose this, With our defence anything is possible, Mcarthy will have done his homework and know that we are likely to concede at least 1, he will tell his players to defend deep and wait for their chance, we might scrape it, but I think a draw more likely.

If Wolves come and go for it then it might help us out a bit.

[Clampy]

I remember watching the Albion v Wolves game a few weeks ago and if it had it not been for Smethwick's forward line being so hopeless, they would have won the game easily. I think we can handle Doyle or Fletcher, it's Ebanks Blake i worry about, he's their best finisher.

The first time i saw Baker was in a pre-season freindly at Walsall a couple of season's ago and he played centre half and he looked comfortable enough. I definatley be putting Warnock or Beye on the bench though, he'd be mad not too really.

[oldtimernow]

Delph, Cuellar, Baker and Delph then for sure it would appear, althoughknowing Gerard we could have Makoun in there, or Bradley even.

Delph is good but that good?

[Legion]

He plays on the left, he plays on the right...

[UsualSuspect]

Is anybody else surprised that West Midlands finest have allowed this game to go ahead at 3pm on a Saturday bearing in mind the fact that it's a derby and current circumstance ?

It was a Saturday game last year if I remember rightly, but moved for TV. No recent history between us and Wolves so no obvious reason to move it.

Thought there was trouble at molineux earlier this season ? I'm delighted it's 3pm just surprises me as it's a derby 6 pointer and its been a big drinking week in the Mids already

I think the EDL are in the City centre tomorrow as well.

For me,

Friedel

Walker Cuellar Baker Warnock

Makoun Delph

Downing Ashley Albrighton

Bent.

If Warnock doesn't play then Delph at LB and NRC next Makoun.

[DB]

Carlos is fit, good news.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

If we do win, it will be the first time under Houllier that we've achieved back to back wins at home.

[Oscar Arce]

Our defence will not be able to cope tomorrow, I'm afraid, just like last time at Bolton.
I've been saying all season that Houllier is going to take us down , we seem to all be sleepwalking into this, we can have as many good forward players as we like, if we can't defend we'll lose.
The only option we have is to bring back more of Houllier's self-imposed outcasts, Beye and Warnock, I said this should have happened weeks ago and everyone on here said I was crazy, funny now everybody seems to be in agreement.
If he brings those two back into the team we may have a chance, if not, I think we'll get beat.
