I think we're just used to going there and not just getting nothing, but nothing with a heavy thumping on top. I'd settle for a point from this.

I think we all suffer from that terrible thing 'optimism'. So I'm saying a good 2-1 to us. Hope to see Klasnic on if SKD is out although i'd also like to see rodrigo on over Elmander because apart from West Ham it looks like another season of dreaming he will score.

Have you been watching the Elm's performances this season? If we'd spent £8.summat million on him THIS summer, you'd have been saying that it was money bloody well spent...

Did I dream that Elmo has grabbed 3 in 4 games?
Pfffft.

Exactly, it seems like 'Elmo's year'™ is finally upon us. If he continues his form throughout the rest of the season I think he can quite quickly erase any memories of people considering him a dud signing.

I agree about giving Rodrigo some playing time but to start him over Elmander is madness. If anything he should come on for Klasnic who undoubtedly will not last the full 90 minutes. Especially if we're receiving a tonking and have nothing to lose anyway.

I'm suffering from an optimistic phase an all. So I'm gonna go for Elmo and Lee to put us 2-0 up but the bastards to pipe back and draw with us. Dean to be an utter cockend in the process

I wouldn't mind davo being out IF it meant an extra midfielder. Hopefully taylor will start instead of petrov. So swap mark davies for kevin d and there is my team. With moo sitting deep and not giving villas ball players space to play in.

Reet if Davo's not in, we gotta have Elmo on his todd, Taylor in middle of midfield to cover the hard yards and be 4-5-1 with Muamba always having 5 bods ahead of him

Lol you wont see Elmander have his season till lazy boy is dropped, its looking like 5 red cards or an injury is going to make the call for Coyle.

Once again

Elmander isnt an out an out goalscorer never has never will, he's more of a creator but since he's been at Bolton, who has he been given to feed!

Cracks me up when you lot say ''its gonna be Elmander season'' yeah he will chip in with the 10-12 goals a season maybe more maybe less but thats just the cherry on the top for what he has to offer, like i said you wont see him at 100% till SKD is dropped.

Taylor in the middle? TAYLOR IN THE MIDDLE? what about dropping non exsistant Petrov, get Taylor on the left, and put Klasnic or Moreno on for the missing Davies. btw Coyle wont drop his precious 4 4 2.
