Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

That performance will have the top 6 shitting themselves.

There is no such thing a top six team at the moment and current lot in there at the moment will soon be f**ked off.

Surely there is though? I would suggest, if you look at the table, it would be the actual top 6.
What's confusing you here?

I am just incapable. Incapable of understanding that table is set with "top six" teams after 11 games but capable of thinking that there might be two different teams in those 6 positions after the next game and more so at xmas maybe with an entirely different top 6.

It's only fair that we don't accept the 3 points today, hopefully that will cheer 'Villa75' up a bit. Maybe a new rule where any team deemed to be 'shit' like Burton or Bolton should be given a two goal head start?

[Villa75]

Are you Marty McFly? 😲

I'm talking about the top 6 after our game today. I'm insinuating that they will watch our performance against Bolton and think we are not as good as everyone thought.

It could actually work in our favour, come to think of it.

Ignore me.

I'm just grumpy, as I thought we had turned a corner. Whereas we probably haven't. We've just played a lot of the dross recently.

I'll be better in the morning.

Who is going to play left back for the next 3 games??

Can De Laet or Bree play @ Left Back or he could move Hutton over

[QuintonVilla]

Ground out a win in a game we would have drawn or lost 0-1 not long ago. Now the proper games begin after the International break, starting with a massive game at Wolves. A win would really put down a marker and show we mean business. A comfortable defeat will show us where we're at and we'll more than likely be looking at play offs rather than automatic.

I hope I am wrong, but I expect him to play Bjarnason there.

Pleased with the point,but expected more goals and a better performance.

They're all proper games.

No, No and triple no.............

4/5 points max coming in October, in my opinion.

Why be so gloomy after 14 points from 18 and 4 wins on the bounce, SilhillVilla Villa75?

Aha detective !

For all the ordinariness that followed, there's still no better place to be on a Saturday afternoon.

A scrappy win was the minimum required today, and we got it. The question is whether that will be looked upon as a gritty result by a good team not at our best, or whether the performance was a warning that this little run is unsustainable playing like we do at home. Whichever way it falls, I don't think today is the time to be criticising Bruce. He has bought himself a bit of time, with some decent wins and a some 'poorer' ones.

I think the subs he made were more or less the sensible ones to make (I do feel sorry for Hogan when he plays up front alone), but we shouldn't have got to the stage where we needed Samba to help us see it though. We should have been out of sight by then. Two weeks to prepare for a big match that will tell us a lot more about how good we are. And to train someone to play left back....

Fuck me. I must be 'The man of a thousand faces'!

Who was it you guys reckoned I was last week?

More to the point. How many points do you think we will get from the next three games?

I thought 5 was quite optimistic, considering we're only playing one shite team in the next three.

I'm not worried about the next three games at the moment, I'm too busy being happy about the last four.

I think the ban for Taylor will only be one game as the red card wasn't violent conduct.
