hercs23 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This is a must must must win game and to give a decent performance. Given Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock Petrov, jenas, bannan nzogbia , bent, agbonlahor nzogbia is on his last chance for me if theres no performance his out the team. would like to see clark back in the first team to replace collins but doesnt look like that will happen.

pacbuddies Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This is an expected 3 points. Anything less than a win against this level of opposition will be unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The term is thrown around a lot but this really is a must-win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 This is an expected 3 points. Anything less than a win against this level of opposition will be unacceptable. I woud beg to differ. Have a look at our recent home form against this team and I would say 3 points is far from expected but would be very welcome :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd go with the lineup in the OP. Haven't really seen much of Wigan this season so don't know what to expect from them. We really do need a win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Assuming Bent and Jenas are fit: Given Herd Collins Dunne Delph Petrov Jenas Bannan Agbonlahor N'Zogbia Bent Don't trust Hutton, Herd looked really good when he played at RB, as did Delph at LB. Warnock's a bit of a liability at the moment. Collins and Dunne have a decent pairing at the moment. Be a bit silly to split them up to being Clark in. He'll get a chance soon. Petrov is perfect for protecting the back four. Can conserve energy and use his experience. Jenas only just starts above Ireland, but if he's not 100% fit then Ireland's in. Bannan brimming with confidence, first name on the sheet. Gabby has always been very good on the right wing. Much more effective than on the left. Can protect Herd well from there too. N'Zogbia still can create something from nothing and he's got to start firing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Warnock had a great game against QPR and there is no way McLeish sits him. If Cuellar still injured? I read that he is training finally. I want to see the king again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 We have to win. If everyone is fit. Given Herd Dunne Clark Warnock Petrov Jenas Bannan N'Zogbia--------- Gabby Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I think Ireland deserves to keep his spot, probably just had his best game for Villa so not the time to bench him. If Bent and Jenas are fit, then N'Zogbia and Delph are the ones to make way for me: Hutton-Collins-Dunne-Warnock Petrov-Jenas-Ireland Bannan-Bent-Gabby Somewhere between 433/442 with midfielders taking turns to push forward/go wide and Gabby to join Bent in the box as much as possible. Gabby/Bannan can also switch sides. If Jenas still ain't ready, keep Delph in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 MUST WIN i repeat MUST WIN. Thank you in advance, because if we draw or lose ill throw myself from the upper Holte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Play like we did against QPR in the 2nd half and i can see us winning 2 or 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 ----------------------Given -----Herd-----Dunne-----Clark-----Warnock ---------------Delph---------Petrov --------------------------Bannan ---------Ireland-----------Gabby --------------------Bent Maybe no width but get Herd and Warnock attacking (as he was on sunday, and effectively). This is if Bent is fit, if not bang Gabby up top and bring in Nzogbia, I think this is his last chance but I didn't want to drop Ireland or Bannan (our two best attacking players against QPR) to bring in Bent. We all know Hutton and Collins will keep their places too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As has been said before in the thread, a must win game for me. With Bent, Jenas, Cueller, Heskey and Clark returning to training hopefully we'll have enough quality to pick up the three points. I'm hoping for a big win, but predicting a narrow 2-1 win. It's time to break that hoodoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've given up picking Jenas in my match XI as he never seems to be fit. Given Hutton-Dunne-Collins-Warnock Ireland-Petrov-Bannan-N'Zogbia Agbonlahor-Bent Midfield looks a touch lightweight however and I'm not sure about Ireland and NZog but Delph needs to be benched.

wedge Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Play like we did against QPR in the 2nd half and i can see us winning 2 or 3-0. This occured to me as well but you know with us it's never that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Jenas in for Delph will make us better if he is fit as he has a point to prove and will add energy and craft to our midfield. I'd also like to see either Clark or Cuellar if fit back to partner Dunne. Good game to bring those players back in as Wigan shouldn't run at us in the same way QPR did. However, even though the opening fixtures have been kind to us i don't yet feel we have picked up enough points so i am another which is in the must win club!

foreveryoung Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Clark could feature, Bent and Heskey fit for game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
