Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Herd was fantastic again.

[Brend'Watkins]

Didn't see any of it.  I'm just happy we didn't let a 2 goal lead turn into a 2-2 draw.

We must build on it now.

Herd was fantastic again.

He was, look out for his 'slide rule' pass for the first goal on motd.

Not long got back from the game.

Can't remember the last time we looked so in control like we did in the 1st half. Can't remember if it was the 1st or 2nd goal, but we kept the ball and passed it around quite a bit before scoring - this included the defenders passing it and not being told by the Holte End to "GET IT FORWARD!", which was nice and goes to show the players can play a bit when they want to.

First part of the 2nd half was a little worry, but nothing to bad and we never looked like losing the match or conceeding.

They show the stats on the TV at half time in the ground and it said we had 64% of the possession and 12 shots, 8 on target - and that was just one half - we can do it!

If Bent had taken his chances, the score could've been greater and it would've been deserved.

Well played Villa. Play like this (especially the first half) next week, and we give ourselves a good chance. Keep it up!

That was better. We got it wide, we got crosses in, we passed it forward, it was just much more positive, which is what the keyboard warriors have been asking for.

I was convinced they were going to equalise, so fair play to the defence for keeping them out. On the down side, Phil Dowd once again gave fouls for things that only he must have seen and the linesman on the left hand side needs to find another job that he's good at, because being a professional linesman is'nt it.

Cheese Nan?

No it has a special name like a Naan with meat in is a Keema Naan.

3 points thats all that matters,sounds as if we played a lot better though

We did indeed.

[hawkeye]

A very big result considering the games we have coming up, 6 more wins should see us safe.

[rob_bridge]

Very pleased to see the 3 point sin the bag especially with the impending fixtures. We'll be last on MOTD mind.

Seems that the Noses I talk to have got it spot on (well even a broken watch is right twice a day) - McLeish will play positively in games he thinks we can win which basically means w/o all away games v Top6. How we change his mindset to think otherwise is another question? At least let's start with home games v Bindippers and Arsenal - not as if either havbe proved to be infallible this season.

Well done Villa

Probably no help here but anytime I order it I just ask for naan bread with cheese in.

Paneer Naan.

What a depressing line for an Aston Villa fan to read before half the season is complete. Sadly, I agree. The only games we can win with McCleish's tactics, are against poor opponents. Luckily for us, there are enough of them in this league.

There is no special name. It's an innovation in UK just like tikka masala. paneer nan is a fresh cheese nan available in india but here it's just  called cheese nan similar to keema nan. keema is the hindi/urdu word for mince meat.
