Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[CJ]

2-1 Villa. We'll be coasting 2-0, they score a late one setting up a nail biting last 5 minutes during which they hit the post and miss a penalty. The sigh of relief at the final whistle will cause cars on the expressway to swerve across three lanes.

Draw.  And the wait will go on.

0-0 written all over it for me

[JJ-AV]

I'd take a draw.

[Chipsticks]

2-1 in an exciting end-to-end game. My only concern is that we need Collins to combat Keven Davies' strength, which I'm not 100% sure Baker and Cuellar can do; so I'd stick Clark at centre half alongside Carlos.

Weimann and Cuellar for us, Davies for them.

I said on the Sunderland Post match thread that Bolton looked dire yesterday and Swansea would have beaten them easily had they taken a few of their chances. They look very dodgy at the back and pace might be the key.

I think we'll win but we'll make hard work of it.

Anything but a loss please!

[PaulWinch again]

We really really need to win this.

0-0 written all over it ...         blimey , they have drained me of everything this season.

we will survive this season , next season , probably not

[Walmley_Villa]

Have to win but fear yet another draw. 1-1 and all toilet paper reserves at VP used up.

[johncvilla88]

Win against Bolton and then a great 2-0 against the baggies should put on the same points (42) as the them with 2 games to go................! (Trying to think positively)

[Vanilla]

I worry about this one, but I think Bolton are sleepwalking towards relegation the way Newcastle were a couple of seasons ago, and we will probably beat them without realising.

We will then be safe, and certain people can start deciding where our future lies once this concern has gone.

[damon loves JT]

we will probably beat them without realising.

I would love to see the post-match thread if that happened.

[Legion]

we will probably beat them without realising.

I would love to see the post-match thread if that happened.

Last season we beat Liverpool 1-0 and I don't think many people were fully aware given the goings-on at The Sty.

[Walmley_Villa]

We never make opposition keepers work. It frightens me that AMC'S thinks we should have won yesterday on chances created. Did their keeper have a save to make in the second half? I think it has to Emile and Weimann up front on Tuesday. I do think they can work well together if we deliver some decent balls.
