Muamba for 2 yellows where we're caught upfield, Villa are breaking and he has to pull Agbonlahor down before they break 4 on 2.

Zat Knight, old club syndrome, he'll probably cop a dive from Ashley Young the little turd.

My team for Saturday would have Taylor in for Petrov who at the moment is giving the ball away far to frequently:

Bogdan
Steinsson
Knight
Ricketts
Robinson
CYL
Muamba
Holden
Taylor
Elmander
Davies

Ricketts along side Knight worked well when Cahill was off with the blood clot but OC brought on AO'B on Saturday after the sending off so he must see him ahead of Rocketts for that slot.

No idea about this game. We often steal points from Villa, but other times we are awful. I think it was last season we gave one of our worst perfornances ever against Villa. Guess we will see which Bolton team turns uo on the day.

Dogger Stan thinks it might be tight....

Stan Collymore believes success against Bolton this weekend may come down to keeping their star striker Kevin Davies quiet.
Collymore thinks the performance of Villa's central defenders is key to the chances of a maximum haul on Saturday.
The powerful former forward has been very impressed with the performances of Richard Dunne and James Collins in the claret and blue of Villa and he's called for another top performance against the Trotters.
Collymore, who was sent off at the Reebok Stadium in 1997 in a 1-0 Villa win, said: "Bolton will be direct at times during the game.
"They'll look to get it up to Kevin Davies quickly.
"I think Kevin gets a bad deal - he is sometimes portrayed as a thug but I think he's just a strong, physically demanding centre-forward.
"He just likes to play up against central defenders.
"Richard and James will have to play well and stay tight to him this weekend - they can't let him turn and bully them.
"If they can keep him quiet, then the likes of Stewart and Ashley - in the form they are in - can cause major problems up the other end."
Collymore is certainly expecting a tough, tight contest despite the ease of Villa victories in previous seasons.
In the past three home encounters, Villa have emerged victorious 5-1, 4-2 and 4-0 - but Collymore thinks it will be a different story this time around.
He added: "I reckon Villa can expect a difficult home game. They will look to make life tough for Villa, no question.
"It's quite likely Villa fans will have to be patient and we may be looking at a goal late in the game."

Oh, Stan. So perceptive.

Quick to the punch is Stan. Just ask a certain TV celebrity.

I noted this that new manager Macdonald wheeled out Monday night

We knew what we were going to get here at Stoke

Houllier will take over the week AFTER our game...

so - no new manager factor - but maybe some last-game-for-the-caretaker-manager-factor??

Wasn't it 2008 when we lost 4-0 (when it should have been 40) and we all decided that was it, we were gonners?

Might have been. One of those games you want to wipe from your memory but just can't.

We lose 50% of our games against Villa, Draw 36% and win the rest - 14% - overall.

Away we haven't been beat in 5 of 11, but the last time we got anything was 2006.

2008 was indeed the "gonners" game...

Our away record is W2 D3 L6...

thebish · Post by **thebish** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 3:55 pm

we did beat them 7-1 at Villa on 26th December 1914... and 6-3 at Villa on 7th April 1920..

who can forget those glorious days....

(and there was always the 5-2 league cup win january 2004.......)
