Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Far too many people predicting a thrashing in this thread. I don't expect a thrashing, I wouldn't bet against it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 A tough one to call this. I reckon we'll either win or draw or perhaps lose. See, I wish I had your confidence. I think we'll lose, draw, or perhaps win. At best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I would. Many Villa fans and mackem fans would have done the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'm really looking forward to this. Feels like ages, and I'm well stressed at the moment. But predict 1-1 or 0-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Bolton have looked their best this season since I've been watching football. Tidy and organised at the back, smart play in the middle and a real threat upfront. We've got some key players which outshines theirs but really I think their forward line needs to have a bad day for us to stand a chance of a win. Are they carrying any injuries? We need Nile to spark and get goals today, it feels like it could be the game it happens for him. Queue pards starting Loven & best. Go with a draw, wouldn't be the end of the world, just a shame after a couple of good results of late no to take max points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukeboxromeo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Are they carrying any injuries? A few, especially in defence. Knight and Ricketts injured, with Steinsson and Samuel only on light training at the moment. We have no recognised right-back, so Paul Robinson will probably play there and Marcos Alonso (19-yo signed from Real Madrid in the summer) at left-back as they did against Fulham.

Obviously it makes perfect sense to drop the front two that basically won us the last match. Obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Not sure. They have quality throughout and Davies always hurts us I would be happy with a draw Got to remember that in our 5-1 loss we had a midfield consisting of Smith and an unfit Guthrie. That's a cakewalk for most teams. I think Bolton will be very satisfied with a draw today. In other words, they will sit deep, gambling on counter attacks through long balls behind the defense (Davis flicking through) or they will move all their tankers up in the box if awarded a decent free kick or a corner kick. In other words, as long as we avoid those free kicks and pay attention when the sudden long ball is played, we will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Desperate we win this game after travelling to Bolton earlier in the season. Our midfield should be far stronger which will help.4 I too would start Lov/Best. Ranger is still looking more of an impact sub to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Have Ranger and Tiote started in the same eleven this season? I'd really like to see Ranger given a chance alongside Best. Full credit to Lovenkrands for bagging a goal at the Brum (and such a well taken goal too) but if he's carrying a knock - I think it would be a good time to let Ranger play with a decent midfield behind him (ie. unlike at Fulham). He looks like an impact sub because he hasn't been given a real chance to start IMO. I'd gamble on him personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Everytime we've got into a position like this (winnable game that could really get us momentum) we've failed to win. Worry our lack of creativity could be apparent here if they come for a draw. I expect Robinson will spend the whole game trying to wind up Barton, hopefully he doesn't succeed.

SteveMc Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'd go unchanged. Still prefer Ranger as an impact sub at the minute. Yip good call. Ranger's best performances have come in the last half hour of games against tiring defences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
