Wolves as well

Petrov did well, but got tired like he always does. And when Reo-coker went off it all went a bit down hill. Sidwell was poor when he came on, couldn't get into the pace of the game.

Shame really. I don't mind if he starts, but then he's always nackered after 60 minutes and we never change the formation which means we get over-run and nor do we take off him after 60 minutes, so we just end up getting dominated. Argh. I agree completely, why Downing wasn't put on today to help out I will never know. I hope im wrong, but for the rest of this season...if Petrov is fit, he will start.

I think the joke is on us...4-1 up and don't win...im not laughing

Earth to AVFC Pob - MON is not going to drop Petrov !

tommo- Reo Coker was injured

A really poor second half performance, I don't think the other 'top 4 chasers' will be concerned. Carew had a quiet game but wasn't helped by the ref. We can't seem to pass the ball where as Spurs taught us a lesson in moving the ball around. A.Young is still not on top of his game and the central midfield are devoid of ideas and can't keep a foot on the ball. Cuellar, Friedel and Beye were briliant

Heskey in for Carew apart from that the same team. Looking to dominate this one. 3-1 Villa

Go to a Pub !

Warnock isn't injured, hes ill

Can't see Downing starting after playing for the reserves, it's way too much of a risk. He will come on after 70min or so depending on our situation I doubt Collins will play either if he is a doubt. Heskey Vs Carew = Interesting one and too hard to call, I would stick with Carew for another game, hoping the home crowd spurs [ no pun intended] him on.

Or you could have just saved yourself some time and said...'Same team that started against Burnley.'

We know your point of view and you are entitled to it but dear me I've never heard someone say same thing so much. This Making up for the constant critiscism of Sidwell but not Petrov. It just fustrates that a player who does absolutely **** all still gets praise. He was abysmal today and did absolutely nothing both attacking and defensively yet I'm the only person who actually has said this. Do people just turn a blind eye to his performances and instead critisicse others? I mean for **** sake, he's got 6 man of the match votes and he was dreadful? I just don't understand why we didn't keep the same team as a 5-1 win. We get it! I beg of you, please stop going on about Petrov/Reo-Coker/451. You are a constant broken record.

I think the article about Reo-Coker in the main forum could turn out to be true.

Really harsh on Reo-Coker. Captain one week and on the bench the next. What has Sidwell done to deserve such a run in the team?

I hope its not his day job

you limit it to one a game if your appeal is successful, youve still got one. if you waste it and 2 minutes later youre turned down a blatant penalty, tough shit Spot on...or maybe like tennis when they get two a set, teams could get 1 or 2 per half

Starting? Probably zero realistically but if Heskey is still with us then probably one. Milner is not getting in ahead of lampard,gerrard,barry,walcott,jcole,

Cuellar 6.5? That's even more bizzare than giving NRC man of the match. Even more bizarre is giving Delfouneso 7 and Warnock 6 Sidwell 7.5 but A.Young 7 :?

MON has a few tough decisions to make, I think that Petrov has been poor recently and games pass him by all too often. But Petrov is the club captain, so I will be gobsmacked if he is on the bench against Burnley.

I think it will be this too, hoping it isn't however. Yeh, I agree. I think Young may start ahead of Cuellar though [hopefully]

So because a cartoon meerkat says it, you say it? :confused: (confused) Surely you mean confused.com

Thanks OBE, really good read. Sounded very entertaining. As Albrighton played the full 90, this will disappoint many VT'ers on here who are predicting he will start at the weekend.

Well as Petrov isn't playing your luck might be in.

SSN reporting that Petrov will be missing against Bolton.
