Re: Villa Away.
Nope. Which is why I've been against his participation so far. But who else? Ream?

Re: Villa Away.
I havent seen one BWFC player who has yet so why the feck not eh...almost past caring with this shower.
Re: Villa Away.
I'd go with the same players as last game with Mark Davies replaced by Tuncay. Fresh legs for Mark Davies coming on late on running at defenders should be interesting at least.boltonboris wrote:Nope. Which is why I've been against his participation so far. But who else? Ream?
Ream should stay at CB with Wheater. Wouldn't change that for the rest of the season. In fact wouldn't change the back four for all the games left (unless injuries force a decision). Steady back line would be good.
Kevin Davies as he has been playing lately is a starter for me. Klasnic as a sub guaranteed to come on. Let him know his role and use that.
Reo-Coker shouldn't run past the half way line. He should be there to look for things like players cutting inside. Basically a sweeper in front on the back four.
Miyaichi as close to super Kev as possible. Any flick on and he should be off like a rocket. Hard to pick him up when he's given a free role round Kevin Davies. Trouble is he's been given the RM slot and having to take people on which isn't doing him favours at the min.
Eagles on the right. Petrov on the left.

Re: Villa Away.
So Reo Coker in midfield on his own?

Re: Villa Away.
Not sure Tuncay has ever played centre mid.
I'd play him behind the striker, but he'll still need 2 behind him.

Re: Villa Away.
Options are there few, but I doubt even Coyle would go with a line-up that death-or-glory.
Especially as it seems Tuncay will only play if the rest of the squad contract ebola.

I always worry about us when we go to play a team with no strikers and who aren't scoring
My dad got it spot on when he said Mark Davies will have "potential" until the day he retires.
He's just not up to it.
What a hero, What a man...... Ooooh, what a bad foul...

Re: Villa Away.
We've tried him in 4 positions. In different systems to acommodate him. He hasn't produced

Re: Villa Away.
He was playing well with two tackling midfielders behind him in a 4-2-3-1. Trouble is, that formation didn't last long before being changed by a gung-ho manager and a life-threatening illness to one of the tacklers.boltonboris wrote:We've tried him in 4 positions.

However, he hasn't shown enough goalscoring aptitude nor passing craft to be a top player in that role either.
IMHO.

Re: Villa Away.
I've been extremely confident about this fixture for a while now. I know it's Bolton and you should probably not get too hopefuly but everything about this game is positive for me. Villa are struggling at the moment - seriously struggling. Remarkably, you can still get 14/1 that they'll go down, which is just baffling to me. I think we'll beat them and if we do, they will be well and truly in the relegation mix. A fanbase who loathe their inept manager, who got his last team relegated. Not only that, but his current Villa side are riddled with injuries.
We can beat them and I think we will. I'm never too optimistic being a Bolton fan but if we didn't win this game clearly, I'd be shocked. Only then would I think we're going down.

I think given Mark Davies is maybe out and Pratley deffo is, we're going to be struggling in midfield, well we are as it is even with those players....
For me it really is the absolute last chance saloon though!
Re: Villa Away.
I think having Vela in will do us good providing he's up to it. It'll at least give us two "proper" CMs and then Davies (if fit)/Eagles/Tuncay in the more attacking role.

Re: Villa Away.
See all these formations? Why does everysingle one of our players need a player behind to 'back him up' for when he 'feck* up'?
It's like some kind of daisy-chain where each man is worse than the one infront of him.
What ever happend to them worrying about us?

I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Villa Away.
The inclusion was down to the contribution of Davies instead of N'Gog. Think its been marginal difference but i'd say it has seemed more effective.bobo the clown wrote:You missed the Fulham & Swansea games then ??Mar wrote:Kevin Davies as he has been playing lately is a starter for me.
