Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[midnite]

1-0 home win for me I'm afraid. Can't see us getting anything from this one

[Fergal]

If it were possible we would finish up losing Bolton 0 Villa -1

[Rigadon]

I'd like to see a genuine 2 up front.  We might sore a goal then. 

[Hookeysmith]

I just have no optimism left - cannot see us winning any game soon
2-0 Bolton

[Nirog72]

Bolton 2 Villa 0

[Greg N'Ash]

Can't really afford to lose this one given the table. i'd be estatic if we got any more than a draw. 2-2.

[PaulTheVillan]

I think we'll actually win. I'd like to see 4-4-2

Any news on Given?

Given (Guzan)
Hutton Collins Dunne Warnock
Albrighton Petrov Herd Bannan
Agbonlahor Bent

I actually can't stand to type most of those names.

[TheBarneyArmy]

0-0 and Gabby subbed at half time for making too many runs over the half way line.

[darren woolley]

I will also go 0-0 just can't see us scoring.

[Rick_avfc]

Guys, please be a bit more optimistic!!  Im going for 0-4 to villa with Heskey scoring all 4 of them! 

[SoccerHQ]

To me this is a must win. If we don't I can see us losing the next 4 after that and McLeish being out of a job by the new year.

I suspect we'll draw 1-1 with two attempts on goal. Maybe they'll score an own goal for us.

[TimTheVillain]

1-1

They outplayed us in the League Cup, that's how good they we are.

[VillaAlways]

1-1

[Dave Cooper please]

4-1 Villa.

What?

[Rick_avfc]

realistically, I think it will be either a loss or a draw.  Bolton will probably play with more passion than us due to their league position.  Ok, we stepped it up a gear in the last 20/30 mins against utd but we were still very poor.  the highlight for me was seeing an Emule Heskey shot  from about 20yards out go for a throw in! WTF!?!?
