Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Pre-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

Well, I predicted a win last week and that didn't work.

Villa 0 Wigan 12.

[hartman_1982]

Famous last words and all that

But I can't see how even McAllister can bugger this one up.

Surely got to be a win, and it should be comfortable.

Personally, I'd get gabby out, I'd get Ash out, I'd get Albrighton in and I'd put Delph in and go 4-5-1

I am sick and tired of these two (others as well, but these two in particular) taking the piss out of the club and fans and to be honest, I hope I dont see either of them in a Villa shirt ever again.

Gabby is such a disappointment, I really thought 3 years ago he was going to be the real deal. Unfortunately it seems he is just a player with Vassells ability and Luke Moores attitude.

Luke Moores attitude? You could not be more wrong. Luke moore was a player who was blessed with everything and did not apply himself at all. Gabby was blessed with pace, but has worked his balls off to get where he is today. He has had a difficult season, due to injury and being played out of position but to accuse him of that is ridiculous.

Put Ash on the bench, he's off anyway. Cuellar centre of defence Albrighton takes Youngs spot and Delph for Petrov. Gabby was useless last week either bring Heskey back or try one of the kids alongside Bent.

2-2 draw

Us 78 - 76 Them

Football is overrated.  We decided to play basketball.

Tough one to call. Wigan will be bang up for this and see it as a must win. First goal for them and they keep playing, then they win. Try to defend the game out then we will equalise. If we score early we could win this by quite a few. If we do, start negotiations for Nzogbia and Rodallega at 5.15 on Saurday night.

[Dave P]

Could be anything given how this season has gone.  I'll go for a 2-0 win with Bent getting both.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Crowd will be up for this.

3-1 to us.

Downing, A.Young, Gabby

[darren woolley]

2-1 Bent two goals to his tally.

[Simon Ward]

We always seem to lose at home to these! So I'll be optimistic and go for the draw.

[pablopicasso_10]

we are crap against these at villa park during the best of times, so with that clueless assclown mcallister pretending to be in charge, i expect nothing other than a shitty excuse for a performance, and another loss...

[PaulTheVillan]

4-1

Bent x 2
Downing
Gabby

We really really have to fucking win this one.

Friedel
Walker Dunne Cuellar Young
Downing NRC Petrov Young
Gabby Bent

[Mister E]

Why would you want AY to play in this game? Why not use Petrov as a super-sub rather than as a starter?
Let's freshen it up a bit, do something a little different and give a shot in the arm to those players on whom we'll come to rely next season - Albrighton and Delph.
As long as Pires does not make an appearance.
Oh, and why not sign Figueroa after the game?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Friedel
Walker Dunne Cuellar Young
Downing NRC Petrov Young
Gabby Bent

Good choice.
Although I would be tempted to bring Makoun and Heskey back.

Tempting as I think he's got a bit more craft, but I'm not sure who I'd drop out of NRC & Petrov. Both playing well IMO.
