Bolton

I think people are already taking notice, people in the know around football are amazed at more or less the same squad of players as last season playing a better game than they did last!..

Has nobody noticed we're having people looking without as much wumming?..

I know, when we fail they'll be over us like Ants on overtime, so, another reason to enjoy while we can!..

Villa are another team that has to be beat, exactly what they'll be thinking about us!..

Its got draw written all over it!..

It's not like we're not going to try to win at Villa, it's just with the injury list we have, it wouldn't be a shock if we didn't get the result we wanted.

Villa are very strong right now. We're still strong, but not as strong as we'd be with Berardi, Ayling, Cooper and Dallas back in their preferred positions.

If we win, it's likely to be on the back of a high-scoring Rocky-style slug-fest.

Stop worrying about injuries, Leedsfan, Bielsa has shown we can put out a winning team and a winning formation, regardless of who is fit. People raved about Shackleton at the weekend and rightly so. But what about the quiet creativity of Samu? Some of his passes were visionary. People talk about getting Ayling and Cooper back, but we have young players who are filling in without missing a heartbeat. More than any other coach, Bielsa seems to bring out the best in all his players. When will people look at this team and be satisfied?
The only change I want to see right now is to bring Bamford on board. Kemar has done a fine job but I think Bamford could put away a few of the chances that have gone begging. We should have massacred QPR by half-time on Saturday.
We need to take care of Bolton at the weekend. No easy task, but a win there would ring alarm bells for a fragile Villa back four. I bet Hutton is already have nightmares about Samu.

Away draws against the likes of Villa WBA are good results if we beat the likes of Bolton I

Maybe. Did we draw away to West Brom though?

Just heard that all Bolton players have not been paid for 2 months so maybe this is a good time to play them, heads will be elsewhere & a bit petulant?

Yeah they are in a dire situation at the moment. A shame. Phil Parkinson doing really well given the circumstances.

Was just picking out 2 big dangers for auto promotion
Draws usually are poor, but away draws at the likes of Villa and WBA stops the opposition getting the 3 points. I did actually say a draw at WBA would be a good result before the match just like Villa away

WBA will NOT play better all season than they did against us, was a 1 off. They absolutely battered us & we didn'y have a clue.

The bizarre part of that game was that MB did not appear to make any adjustments to deal with them.
