Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[DennisHodgetts]

No time to be resting anyone yet. Play our strongest team, get the points in the bag, secure our playoff spot and take it from there.
I’d bring Mings back for Jedi and and replace Whelan with Jack (Hourihane keeps his place because of his goal last week).

Away win 3-0

To be fair their blazers are currently at the dry cleaners......

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Bolton 0 Villa 3

Att: 0

As long as that's what the EFL did, cancellation is the best thing for Villa.

Postponement would be the worst thing

The best thing for Villa would be a 4-0 away win in front of 4,500 happy traveling fans.

[DennisHodgetts]

Under the circumstances we really should be giving Bolton a thumping, so I reckon 6-1 to us, even if we rest half the first choice squad!

Conquest

We should do this - Bolton will scrap but I think we should have too much. I would be tempted to rest McGinn if Jack plays as well. Whelan and Hourihan should be enough. 1-3.

[CT Villan]

Away win

Fluff the Fluffers.

[Pete3206]

Rest no one.

Lets get the points before we start those shenanigans.

[Brend'Watkins]

Rest no one.

Lets get the points before we start those shenanigans.

Correct.  Reach our goal in the next two games then think about changes if that's what we need to do.

Macron Stadium

The Reebok, Macron Stadium is now called the University of Bolton Stadium. I can't imagine they paid much for that privilege, judging by the finances.

[Legion]

D 1-1

[in exile]

1-3

[Rudy Can't Fail]

6-0 Villa win.*

Lampard claimed Derby could have had double figures against them the other day so why not. An early goal and they know they're relegated. I'd go with our strongest team, at least in the first half. Thereafter we can see who needs/deserves a rest.

*I'm on a roll with Villa predictions and only one Villa goal out in every game.

[Lastfootstamper]

7-0, then.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Probably.

Sounds like Jack and Jimmy Danger will be fit.  Tammy is fine.

Hause is out for another couple of games.  Hopefully Elphick & Chester will be ok soon too.
