Wanderers vs The Villa

[Lord Kangana]

For accuracy, that'd be four top eight finishes.

[truewhite15]

There is quite a lot of belief that Bolton can beat Villa here. I think Bolton will lose...our back line looks very shaky, especially against Newcastle, and going forward we looked absolutely hopeless. Hopefully we win but a loss or draw looks more likely.

Hopeless pessimist.

Well it's so competitive this season mate, every team below is capable of challenging for Europe and we're not even safe from relegation-only being 9 points clear from third from last

Yes, it is competitive, but we're on form and at the right end of the table. Villa are not. When you claim that our back line looks shaky (this is the same central defensive partnership that's kept 3 clean sheets in the last 4 games, remember) and that our strikeforce looks hopeless (this is the same strikeforce that contains a striker [albeit being played on the right wing] with 9 goals for the season, one who's scored in every game so far, one that scores as regularly against Villa as he does against Spurs and Wet Spam, and a goalpoacher extraordinaire on the bench), surely you must then consider that, owing to the fact that Villa are BELOW US, their backline must be shakier, their strikeforce more hopeless? And this is a team low on confidence at the minute, missing one (possibly both) of their first choice centrebacks.

Also, we are at home, where we have lost just twice all season. I fail to see, when you take all that into account, where the pessimism comes from.

I agree that this season is very competitive and most teams are capable of beating anybody. We are also one of those teams though, and at home we are more likely to win than lose. Sure we could lose this game, but this is a game we can win, and really should win, thus we should be approaching the game with that attitude.

[HMX]

Feel a 1-0 loss today.

Sorry chaps. Would love to be wrong

Optimism, I love it. Back line are shaky due to injury if anything and we're playing quite decently right now. We're not exactly playing in the Bolton and District Sunday league, are we? Seventh in this league hardly smacks of shaky or absolutely hopeless. Cheer up.

[Lord Kangana]

Draw. Anywhere from 0-0 to 3-3.

One of the teams grabbing a last minute equaliser that gives them momentum for the next few games. I hope thats us.

[keveh]

has TW got a table?

Bit too expensive for me!

[Lord Kangana]

Where do you eat your tea?

[seanworth]

Why does the Guardian keep predicting Sturridge to be on the bench and not start for us? Keep expecting Klasnic to start.

[Worthy4England]

For accuracy, that'd be four top eight finishes.

Picky - they're also top 9, 10, 11 etc. finishes.

[newboy]

1-3 to Villa Young to score again at least 1 pen Sturridge to get consolation goal Villas seasons got to start somewhere why not here

[RobbieSavagesLeg]

2 - 0 To the whites.

I hope you're right mate we definitely have been good at home.

TANGODANCER ye maybe I should be more optimistic

Well said that man. 3-0 Whites, Sturridge, Holden, Robbo.

Keveh to not remember the game due to 3 hrs in Scotts beforehand.

Cheers mate, they show one game on staturaday(the Birmingham game today) and one on Monday(if there is one). Not the most popular sport but i find live streams online so it doesn't matter

[Wandering Willy]

With three months of the season left we believe that there are 10 massively important Premier League matches left to play... We are in a very promising position and it's crucial that we keep performing and doing all the right things
