Bolton Wanderers vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[The Edge]

Win today and we're still in with an outside chance of auto promotion. Drop points against another average championship side and you would have to say we don't deserve auto promotion. Did we peak too soon against Wolves? I hope not. I guess we'll find out today. 3-1 to the Villa. Grabban 2, and one for JT.

Two nil away win. No frills, solid and professional, like Forest away.

3-4

And - to state the obvious - it's cold up here!

It's started snowing. Although it's got no chance of sticking.

A bit like us in the top 2 then.  I said a bit like us in the top 2 then!  Here all week.

3-4

What I wanted to put!

This thread is way more pessimistic than it should be imo
Granted they have good home form but only won 1/8

Back on track Villa, come on

[VinnieChase84]

3-4

With a 90th minute winner, scenes

Well then, we'll see whether Tuesday's dreadful 'display' was a blip - or the beginning of the end to our promotion ambitions. The players HAVE to put in a performance for the manager & supporters alike, so another failure is not an option.

1-2 Villa (although I voted for a draw earlier). Lets be 'avin you!

I said it earlier that QPR had to be a wake up call, and it also needs to show how the available  players need to plug the weakness holes effectively.

We will win, but it wont be easy or pretty, but only if they are brave.

[Matt Collins]

Not too confident today but we can definitely win

Jedinak will surely be rested

Concerned about Bree at left back

Only the coaching staff know who is genuinely match fit. I just hope they’ve got the balls to make changes if needed. Too often Bruce sticks rather than rotates when it’s clear we’re leggy
