Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Match Thread

[Legion]

Available Saturday afternoon.

[TheSandman]

N'zog dropped for Bent.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on you Villa boys.

[Dave]

N'zog dropped for Bent.

I like the idea of that on current form.

[PaulWinch again]

Well I'm glad Bannan starts.

[Toronto Villa]

N'zog dropped for Bent.

actually not surprised about that. He'll play a part today, but I didn't want to see Ireland dropped. He needs a run of games, and he started to show some promise last week. Also, all of the good teams rotate their squads, and we should be working to the point where we are comfortable resting Gabby or Bent or Petrov. Obviously we don't have as much luxury today, but it is something we need to do as it also gives others a chance to stake their claim and keeps the squad on its toes.

[Mister E]

Light-weight midfield ...

[The Left Side]

Come on you Villa boys

[Edvard Remberg]

Come on Villa - make me smile for once. Might even be tempted to go out tonight if we win.

Bannan - hoping he will be the star we are longing for.

[villa for life]

Well Done AM. No favorites as of yet..just picking on form..got guts to do that.

[VillaAlways]

Jenas  still injured then

[Eigentor]

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Bannan, Petrov, Delph, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Bent. Subs: N’Zogbia, Guzan, Clark, Herd, Albrighton, Weimann, Heskey.


Will Jenas ever be fit?!?

[Compass]

If McLeish is picking on form why did he get out of his way to get Hutton (who's been awful btw) when Herd performed really well and should still be given the chance?

And where the fuck is Jenas? What an injury prone signing.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

N'zog dropped for Bent.

I like the idea of that on current form.

So do I. Still, I'm surprised, wan't sure if AM had the balls to drop him, especially with how N'Zogbia looking forward to playing his former club.

Come on Villa!

[Holtenderinthesky]

Hutton is one of the worst players we've had at the Villa in years.  Chris Herd must be as gutted as I am that he was dropped for that waste of space.
