Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[JD]

Villa will win 4-0 after being made to read the Eamon Deacy thread in full. After that they will understand how lucky they are to play for such a great club.

sorry to be a bit of a glum person   but....... if you look at wigans recent results they havnt done to bad i think we have to control the game from the off and keep possession with                                                                                                                                           

                                                                     given
                             
                              hutton                collins                      baker                   king carlos

                          N'zogbia                bannan                       Ireland              agbonglahor
                                                                            keane

                                                                             bent

That midfield would get totally and utterly steam rollered.

Is Gabby going to be fit ?

[The Laughing Policeman]

I'm more worried about the upcoming four games than I am about the  games that follow.
We should be capable of getting eight or nine points from these games. But will we?
Having said that, I'm going for a 3-1 victory.

[Lobsterboy]

I'll go for a 3-1 win Bent with 2 and Keane to sign off with another goal...

[damon loves JT]

So the consensus is 3-1. I'm with you fellas.

[garyshawsknee]

I'd go with,
Given

Hutton
Collins
Cuellar
Baker

Ireland
Gardner
Petrov
Nzogbia

Keane
Bent

We really need to win this to release some pressure. 2-1 to us.Please let Heskey be on the bench.

[Chris Jameson]

Having spent sunday evening at Camp Nou with my son watching the most magnificent football I have ever been privileged to witness I shall be attending my first Villa match this season with my son. Having gone from the sublime I predict we will witness the ridiculous and Heskey will be at the centre of it.

3-0 to Wigan, Heskey 3 own goals.

[TheSandman]

So he's not going to answer his critics in the best possible way?

I disagree with the statement 'Please let Heskey be on the bench' I'd much rather he was at home or even better in Tasmania locked in a trunk AM doesn't have the key for.

[Chris Jameson]

So he's not going to answer his critics in the best possible way?

Reverse psychology.

Weimann has to start with Bent and Keane either side! he's on fire and ossing with confidence.

My team would be:

Given
Hutton Cuellar Collins Steven/Baker/Lichaj (doesn't really matter just not Warnock!)
Herd - Petrov - Gardner
Bent - Weimann- Keane

subs:
Guzan, Bannan, Steven/Baker/Lichaj, Ireland, Abrighton, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor

[dave.woodhall]

"ossing with confidence"? He's not from Tipton, y'know.

[toplad4u]

Dyslexia kicking in

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

4-2 Villa. Bent (3), Petrov.

Villa to go 2-0 down in 15 minutes.

[timeoutbigbar]

Weimann has to start with Bent and Keane either side! he's on fire and ossing with confidence.

Bent playing wide?  Now that would be a monumental fuck up, moving our top scorer out of position to accommodate a kid.
