Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

Drop Whelan for Doyle -Hayes - what I have seen so far a younger, fitter version

I certainly would not take the piss and rest players - guaranteed to back fire
As other have said start strong get a few then take off some key players

[Deano's Mullet]

This game is made for Kodjia. 3-0

Why would we even consider resting players with the internationals break coming up? I would be amazed if he changes a winning team. If a miracle happens and we make a habit of being 3 or 4 up then that's the time to give younger players a run out I reckon.

I meant reset button, not rest button.

But yeah, a rest should be used positively.

This is a match we should win easily but...
They have not won and and are not scoring whereas we are winning and scoring for fun so what can go wrong?

Anyone know when we last had a +6 goal difference?
Best I can remember in the last 5/6 years has been + or - 1

[McGraths Dry Cleaning]

I wonder if Bruce's "Bolton moment" will be a standing ovation from a rapturous VP after we administer a good shoeing to break into the top 6. Should be a decent crowd - decided at last minute to take my 6 year old to see if a scintillating villa performance can spark his interest a bit more than hes shown so far. Can't say I blame him - all the games hes been to so far have been cack.

Isn't their manager Phil Parkinson the former manager of Bradford?

I know where this is going, don't even think it.

Lets just say I'm taking nothing for granted.

[Richard E]

Lets just say I'm taking nothing for granted.

Nor me, it would be arrogant to assume we will win 6-0. It might only be 3,4 or 5-0 to us.

[cheltenhamlion]

We will give them 6 of the best.

[clash city rocker]

Should win this but then we are Aston Villa

[JUAN PABLO]

a dire 1-0

If we give them a hiding we might get our ultimate revenge on him.
