Bolton vs Aston Villa pre match thread - EFL Cup 2nd rd - Tuesday 23rd - 7.45pm

[Malandro]

Christ, imagine if we lose.

Impossible! We never lose to lower league opposition when our managers are under pressure.

[cdbearsfan]

Be interesting to see if Sarr gets a run out. Hopefully Archer picks up where he left off in the League Cup.

[john e]

He’s made a big thing about having a good runs in the cup competitions so I expect a strong team lineup
Whatever that is at the moment

[Legion]

I think it will be similar to yesterday. Perhaps Olsen and Chambers to get a run out from the start.

[Footy-Vill]

I think it will be similar to yesterday. Perhaps Olsen and Chambers to get a run out from the start.

Don't forget club captain Ashley Young! He's here for such games and imagine if he gets to lift the trophy end of season would be fitting end to his career and full justification in him being here.

[TonyD]

Has this sold out?

[cdbearsfan]

Our tickets have, don't think theirs will.

[Meanwood Villa]

I managed to get a ticket as a member on Wednesday and there seemed a fair few left. Had a look yesterday out of curiosity and it wasn't on there at all, I imagine because they were postal tickets only and there wouldn't have been time to get them out.

[RamboandBruno]

Im going to this with my lad, although tickets havent arrived yet.

Think Olsen, Augisstinson, Irogeubunham, Archer will get a run out, otherwise id expect first team regulars to try and make amends.

2-0

Olsen

Cash
Chambers
Mings
Augusstinson

Luiz
Irogeubunham
Ramsey

Beundia
Archer
Bailey

I would pick the team that started yesterday and ask them to show what they really are about. 

[olaftab]

Wholesale changes please Steven. Leave this cup for Liverpool we need to concentrate on the League, finishing 17th.

[Axl Rose]

Wholesale changes please Steven. Leave this cup for Liverpool we need to concentrate on the League, finishing 17th.

Ha! You're more optimistic than me, fella. I'd snap your hand off for 17th.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd use this match to try largely his starting XI in a different set up.

If he is going to change his 'tactic' at some point, give it a run here.

[Risso]

I'd go:

Olsen

Young Chambers Feeney Digne

Kamara Iroegbunam

Bailey Buendia Coutinho

Archer

[Legion]

Good shout. Can't see it happening, though.
