Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Three Spires Villa]

Got to win, no ifs, no buts, 3-0

[Jon Crofts]

5-0 or thereabouts.

[SoccerHQ]

5-0 or thereabouts.

Only if they sack Phil Parkinson and re-appoint Megson in next 24 hours.

His idea to park his back 4 on the halfway line against Gabby and Young was always a glorious tactic back in the day.

[JUAN PABLO]

It clicks a bit now Dean has had more time with the team

so 4 0

Chester
Tammy
Bolaise
Jack if still on pitch or Thor If not

[mallo]

2-1 - defensive c8ck up from us but 2 goals and in control.

[tomd2103]

Not sure there are too many options in terms of changes to be honest.  I suppose Hutton could go over to left back and Elmohamady drop to right back, with either Bolasie or El Ghazi playing right wing.  There will be a decision about who out of Bjarnason, Whelan and Jedinak plays in the defensive midfield role, but can't see much else changing to be honest.   

[Damo70]

I tend to predict 2-1 wins when we are at home, usually including the opposition pulling a late one back to make us sweat, but I will go a relatively comfortable 2-0 for this one.

[Deano's Mullet]

2-1 Villa

[Comrade Blitz]

Bolton have one win in ten or something and don't really score away from home.

In the olden days this would have been a dead cert "Welcome to Villa Park and the gift that keeps giving"

[Steve67]

A nice early goal for us would be nice, raise the confidence and settle the fans down.  Come on you Villa boys.

[Pete3206]

1-0.

Expect squeaky bum torment for at least the last half hour.

[sickbeggar]

expect our home form to keep us out the shite till  January and re-shaping the squad. 3-1

[Des Little]

Villa 9 Trotters 0.

[frank]

Our German supporters, the German Villans, are celebrating their 20th anniversary at the Bolton game tomorrow.
