Jerseybean Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Commentator’s closing lines - just another crazy game in this cruel and unpredictable league. Villa go from the ecstasy of last week to the low of today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bolton are good at home since a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Perhaps the snow helped. But good to see a Villa wobble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Its Derby, Boro, Preston and Sheff Utd we are really fighting now. Good to see Villa slip up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Villa slip up though. Not forgetting Millwall either, the form they`re in. Any two from six at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thought they may draw there, probably didn't think they would lose though! Pointed out to a Villa fan colleague Friday night was a tough away game...especially when it's cold. We got nothing there after all! Fulham only drew there lately also...

Northern Red Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 As well as beating us and Villa, they've also beaten Cardiff at home, won at Sheff Utd, drawn twice with Fulham and drawn at Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit to do yet clearly, but they would be 10 points clear with 8 games left - great position to be in , all of the pressure on the teams chasing them. Dont want him to manage us and don't ever want us to play their style of football but, it is remarkable what they have achieved this season.

Red Rum Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Bolton actually looked a very good side in what was apocalyptic snow. What really impressed me was their ‘game management’ for the last 10 mins or so - I have heard this term a lot this season to describe blatant time wasting and sides completely stopping the flow of the game (as we have seen so much from teams coming to Ashton Gate this season). However, Bolton kept the ball in play comfortably within the Villa half and bar one last minute worry, Villa weren’t given a chance. All without the constant feigning of injuries and negative tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Villa have too many, likely continental, players who were tip toeing around the snow trying not to scratch their shaved shins. Bolton players maybe made of sterner stuff and on a serious bonus if they stay up which I think they are half way to doing. If we make the play offs who would you rather have Fulham or Villa? Unlikely to be any other I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to be any other I don't think. Tough one. Fulham are definitely the form side but if I go purely by our home and away performances against them compared to against Villa this season (albeit, of these four games I didn’t go to Villa away - result speaks for itself though), I would say I would just about prefer Fulham. Fulham definitely showed they are not invincible in their second half performance against QPR yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
