Woodytom Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 People seem to be going into this game very negative. Ok we lost 7-1, but thats been coming. We were never going to go all the way to the end of the season unbeaten in the league since new year. So, thats the defeat out of the way. Not saying that this is not loseable, but We smashed them 5-1 at VP They got banged 4 nil on their own turf last game They got banged 4 nil by Sunderland nt long back Were not the only team whos had a good hiding this season, and Bolton should be less confident than us imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think it'll be a bore draw, and both teams will be happy with it. 1-1 Expecting the team to be something like: Friedel Cuellar Collins Dunne Warnock Young Milner Downing Petrov Sidwell Heskey Team I'd like to see: Friedel Young Warnock Cuellar Dunne Young Albrighton Petrov Milner Delf Heskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 anyone got any concrete news on carew? Apparently he's been laying slabs in his garden all week and is in need of a rest. Slabs or slags? :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickerMan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Amongst the horror and bullshit of the past week I almost forgot we had a game this weekend. Time to remember we are ASTON VILLA and we are a good side and should win this game. A good win will do us all wonders, and I think we will get it.

John Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I am not sure what way we should go for this game. Should Martin play as near to the side as he can that played at Chelsea (as they have had a couple of days off this week) and tell them to show they are better than that or give as many of them as he can a rest in the hope they can show that in the semi-final? Is our best hope this season beating a side that were 6 goals better than us 2 weeks earlier in a semi-final or going for a very strong season end in the league that might still see 4th in our sights (after all it was not the defeat against Chelsea but the size of it that has had us written off) if we can get back to performing as we did up until a couple of weeks ago? I think Martin will go for playing as many of the team that started against Chelsea as he is able. At this stage it would be difficult to say whether cup or league is our more likely route to success but now is not the time to put all of our eggs in one basket. If I were making the call I might go: Freidel, Young, Cuellar, Davies, Warnock, Albrighton, Sidwell, Downing, Young, Delfouneso & Heskey. I think it will be a tight game but back us to win 2-1 with Agent Zat having a hand in our win! :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormandyVillan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I saw Bolton v Man Utd last week, and Bolton looked much better than the scoreline suggested. They certainly gave United a harder game than Villa gave Chelsea. Judging from that, and the last two games I've seen Villa play (Wolves and Chelsea), I would say there is unfortunately a good chance they will beat us. I expect at least some reaction from Villa, however, so if I wanted to bet on this I would probably go for 1-1. That's our favourite score this season, and has been our score at Bolton in three of the last four seasons (the other one being 2-2). If we go can go one better than that and take home a hard-fought 1-0 or 2-1 win, I will be very pleased. Another draw (yet again) would be no disgrace, but a win is what we really need.

villatillidie1980 Posted April 2, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2010 I saw Bolton v Man Utd last week, and Bolton looked much better than the scoreline suggested I know what you mean, I am not so sure this game is as straight forward as we would hope for! Lets see what the lads will produce after last weekend! UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to remember we are ASTON VILLA and we are a good side and should win this game. A good win will do us all wonders, and I think we will get it. We might we might not, there is certainly no reason to say we should. We are on poor form and they have only lost twice at home since Coyle has been there and that was to Arsenal and Man Utd.

barry'sboots Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 So, possibly out are; Dunne, Milner, Carew, Agbonlahor, Delph, Heskey, Reo-Coker, Harewood and Bouma. (Some obviously are more key than others) If the worst happens I'd go with --------------------Friedel---------------------- Young----Cuellar-------Collins--------Warnock -------------------Petrov----------------------- -----------Sidwell---------Downing------------ Albrighton-------------------------------Young -----------------Delfouneso------------------- and I'd worry. subs would be: Guzan, Davies, Clark, Beye, Salifou, Osbourne and Weimann. So, given that nobody wants to see that line up to what extent would you be prepared to risk the players that are carrying knocks after what happened when we tried it last weekend? I wouldn't mind seeing that line up. Might even go one further and rest Warnock with Luke over to LB and Beye in at RB. I think that side could be quite exciting. Obviously, if fit, I would bring Milner in for Sidwell and Gabby for Nathan but equally may just put the two on the bench if need a rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 2, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2010 **** knows what the lineup will be. but I think we'll see a reaction here. I can't see anything other than a win. Plus I'm going so we HAVE to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 7 wins in 7 games. We're done for. If its 7 from 7 for top 4 I think you might be right. But, I think a draw at Manchester City and 6 wins might be enough although we do need to start with a win at Bolton first and why not 19 from 21 points from the games we have left? :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
