Games coming thick and fast - 31 hours until the next game.
Swansea seem to have rested a load of their bigger name players (Bony, Chico, Hernandez, De Guzman) so they would be fresh for our game. Lovely.
I'm relying on us being their bogey side. That's all I've got.

We are on a 2 game unbeaten streak against them :) that's all I have to cling to!
I saw us play Swansea 2 seasons ago and they battered us 2-0 at Villa Park.
Talk about a "must win" game for Lambert. Swansea are better at playing football than us, have a better squad than us, can score goals and appear to have a much better manager.

How about we play Weimann up front, he is a striker and not a winger. Kojak and Weimann in a 2 up front with Gabby and Marc wide?Weimann should be left at home a few weeks and should reflect on his actions towards the fans.

If we lose, the orange dot's coming back for Sunderland.
The major worry for this one is that Swansea could pass us off the park and make us look particularly foolish. There again, we could pull off a surprise, close them down, hassle them all over the pitch and snatch a win.
Football is never overly-logical, but I think Swansea will win this fairly easily, the crowd will seriously give some stick and Lambert will get his marching orders or resign shortly after.
Terrible performances are all we have in us at the moment. Largely due to the level of players available but also because their heads have dropped. The best we can hope for is a draw but I am expecting defeat. Teams have come to realise if they give us a fair share of time on the ball we have little hope of breaking them down and at some point it is highly likely we will shoot ourselves in the foot making it an easy afternoons work for them. Baker and Luna will have mares. The midfield will be so utterly ineffective that the crowd will die a million deaths through humiliation and blood pressure inducing frustration. After booing Lambert down the tunnel you will be treated to further inane ramblings from him about not faulting the lads commitment, how we were in the game until their second took the wind out of our sails. How injuries are hurting us but we must go on. Some of our more optimistic fans will come on here giving their player ratings. While other Premier league fans are waxing lyrical about Suarez, Toure and Ramsey they will be trying to drag up some compliment about Kozak 's effort or Delph's England potential. Lambert despite knowing he has lost his way will have no intention of walking and you will hear absolutely nothing from Faulkner or Lerner. Many will be forced to die of stress related causes while the unlucky Villains who remain will be hypothetically kicked in the nuts for at least another ten years. Am I wrong?

It's absolute shite.
4 academy players
3 players from the 3rd tier
1 free signing
1 from the polish league
1 from the dutch league
Garbage team. It's also only 10 men, gotta lump another donkey in unfortunately.
This is the first home game this year that I can't make and, worryingly, I am quite relieved.
I would change formation and risk giving debuts to one or two youngsters because I can't see the team I saw yesterday doing anything but losing
We need fans tomorrow.. Not people who moan about not going and people who give free tickets away.
Some on here wouldn't go if Randy gave you a limo with Legs 11 girls on tap.
Some just don't want to go but feel the need to tell everyone else.
As for the game just show passion Villa..
Let's keep our ambitions realistic. A first half goal?
A Villa goal in front of the North Stand would be nice.
0-3 cant see any other answeri can, 0-4
I'm taking my daughter to the game tomorrow, we only get over for one or two a season. Her record so far: four games, four losses, three managers

God what is wrong with you lot. Pull yourselves together.
Of course we will score a goal. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of our remaining cup ties.

They will have 5 in midfield so we to match them numerically as our midfielder's are not good enough to compete a man down.Gardner I would put in as he is a goal scoring midfielder and he can score from distance , as we are not creating much adding someone who can ping one from distance is worthwhile.Bacuna and Albrighton wide as they are the best crosser's we have and both can help the FB ,particularly useful with Luna looking so dodgy.
Gabby up top alone as I feel currently he is better at holding up the ball than Kozak and no less dangerous in the air.
Good point. But I spent the villa cash on more villa tickets. AaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhBloody hell, to think I've sat through the vast majority of those 47 games . That's over 3 solid days of my life I won't get back

who's playing left back ?
Last Christmas Aston Villa shipped 15 goals without reply. Manager Paul Lambert did not panic and neither did his employer, Randy Lerner.
Villa clambered to safety, Lerner invested in seven signings at a net £10m deficit, and they won at Arsenal on the opening day. Optimism returned for the first time since Martin O’Neill left.
That heady win at the Emirates is now seen for what it was: a mirage. Villa have lost four on the trot leaving them three points clear of the drop after Thursday’s home defeat by Crystal Palace.
Today they are back at Villa Park, facing Swansea City, but that is of little solace to a team with the worst home goalscoring record in the country – six in 18 games. A counter-attacking approach beat Arsenal and Manchester City but fails against teams who sit back.
On Boxing Day the crowd finally turned on their side and there were reports that Andreas Weimann reacted to abuse. Barry Bannan, the former Villa player who excelled for Palace, said: “I played here and it’s hard to play your normal game when the fans get on your back. It takes big characters.”
Lambert hopes his team has the courage to block out the jeers. “This is a big club, pressure goes with that,” he said. “I know what it’s like. I lost my first three games at Celtic, people were saying ‘go back to Dortmund’. That was 60,000 saying I was not good enough until I got a grip of it.
“So I know criticism, but this team are young, they need support. People talk about the bravery of going in for a tackle and blood, guts and thunder. Bravery is also taking a ball in front of 40,000 in an area where people just shy away from it. We are a million miles from where I want to be and the lads are edgy, but as long as they don’t hide I’ll never criticise them.”
At least Westwood is back so we can drop the hapless KEA.
Is Westwood much better than El Ahmadi? Not in my eyes.

He isn't and against Swansea if we are to stand any chance, we will need an intense pressing game. Something KEA can offer whilst Westwood is the most pathetic off-the-ball player you'll likely to see.
KEA wasn't even that against Palace, certainly no worse then Delph. Yet he still got the usual scapegoating he always gets on here.
Delph was being slated where I was sitting all match harshly in my view.KEA he is tidy enough and he chases around well enough.But his tackling is pretty poor and his passing is tidy but unspectacular.Work's best in a 3 man midfield for me.Westwood off the ball I agree is poor
especially when defending.
Westwood was really good on and off the ball last season, I really can't believe what's happened to him.
Sure could use a win.
70% think we will lose at home to Swansea.
Have the rest of you gone mad?

All fair comments, except for the fact that the booing took place at the final whistle. I was in the Holte End and the support was largely positive, especially in the second half which took some doing after that first 45. So these comments are finding excuses where there is no need. The team are young and they need support, and they get it in spades week in week out despite horrible performances. I want them to do well but if Lambert can't see that it is our inability to pass and move that is killing us then he is not watching the same dross I am, and I'm still a believer in "project Lambert", just not sure why at the moment.
By Mike Walters | 27/12/13
Paul Lambert will face the music if Aston Villa come a cropper at home again and he is serenaded by more orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.
For the first time in his managerial career, Lambert is on the verge of a crisis with fans’ patience exhausted by a glut of dreadful home performances.
Villa were booed off after suffering a Boxing Day sucker punch in added time against struggling Crystal Palace – and the natives will be even more restless if they come unstuck against Swansea today.
Lambert’s job is NOT under imminent threat, but the facts read like a ransom note.
Villa have scored only six goals in nine home League games this season – half of them in one memorable fightback against Manchester City – the worst home scoring record in all four divisions.
They have lost four games on the bounce, last season’s talisman Christian Benteke is injured, they have failed to score in five of the last six at Villa Park and Lambert’s cushion against the drop zone is down to three points.
Twelve months ago, when Villa shipped 15 goals without reply in a bleak festive programme against Chelsea, Tottenham and Wigan, Lambert – assembling a young side – was cut some slack on the basis of his squad’s inexperience. But patience is wearing thin because early-season optimism, generated by a startling win at Arsenal, has evaporated amid a series of moribund displays at home, culminating in Lambert’s painful Boxing Day concerto from his flock.
Lambo said: “It’s a challenge and I’m not going to duck it.
“We are doing everything we can to keep building on last season, but we are a million miles short of what we are trying to do with the club.
“I’ve never wilted in the face of a challenge – you fight it, you don’t wilt or run away from it.
“There is so much pressure in football these days that if you haven’t won in two games, there’s a crisis. It seems to be getting shorter and shorter, and Swansea are on that same kind of run.
“I played with some big clubs as a footballer – I was not exempt from criticism then, and I’m not exempt from it now. I can remember my first few games at Celtic – I lost them and people were saying, ‘Go back to Dortmund, not good enough’ until I bedded myself in and got a grip of it.
“We can’t turn round and be critical of the crowd. They give us energy when we win, so they are entitled to voice an opinion when we lose. You have to be big enough to take it and you see it through.
“Some people talk about bravery as being going in for a tackle that’s 10ft high or blood, guts and thunder – but real bravery in football is taking the ball in front of 40,000 fans in an area where others would shy away from it.
“As long as these players don’t try to hide and run away, then I’ll never criticise them for trying to do the right things"
Just to say I agree with comments about Delph being out of sorts against Palace. Definitely his worst game for a long time and for me it wasn't so much that things werent going for him as his heart wasnt there like it so obviously has been. More indication of dressing room problems?

guilty of trying too hard I suspect. Confidence has evaporated in all the player with Delph no exception.
What I wont accept is the efforts some players put in against Fulham but particularly Stoke. A lot of our players disgraced themselves and the club with their fake hardman conduct at Stoke. Didnt see the Palace game but a manager in control of things doesnt allow things develop like that. It seems with a few of our players that they are unnecessarily sailing close to red cards, perhaps the pressure is getting to them.

Whilst the statement about a young team is true, I can't help but think this is being overplayed somewhat.
These "young" players are largely 23/24/25. It's not as if we've a team packed full of 18 year olds.
Just for the record aswell, whilst they were hopeless as a team it's KEA who gets easily turned over and loses possession for the palace breakaway and goal. It's something KEA is always vulnerable to as he is so weak on the ball and his touch and passing are very poor.
Delph was poor, but as I said on the match thread, playing in a 2, they did not act as a partnership in there at all, neither of them covered round for the other etc. Was very annoying to watch.
Looks like the media have latched on to villa as the club " to drop like a stone" The mail has an article on Villa and the Sun talks about how the crowd turned on the team. BB is quoted as saying how hard it is to play with the crowd on your back and the piece implies we were like that during the game. For me thsts bollocks. Despite geing one of the worst displays I can remember the crowd were encouraging to the end. No one should be allowed to blame the support for the inadequacies at the club!Yes, we are playing absoloutely dire football under a clueless manager and somehow that's the fans fault. Barry Bannan can piss off too , with his antics off the pitch and his sub standard performances on them and he wonders why he got a bit of stick?
Delph was poor, but as I said on the match thread, playing in a 2, they did not act as a partnership in there at all, neither of them covered round for the other etc. Was very annoying to watch.
Lambert won't put out this team, but here's how I'd set up:Yes and lose 8-0 specially with 3 at the back!
Guzan
Lowton
Vlaar (still injured?)
Baker
Tony Moon
Bacuna
Gardner
Delph
Albrighton
Kozak
Agbonlahor
Guzan, Baker, Clark, Lowton and Luna.
Westwood deep, Gardner for a change, Delph more advanced. Bacuna and Gabby wide of Kozak and we as a team, press and press and press.
So the new Cardiff manager will have £25m to spend and Palace and Fulham have also indicated they will be in the market. Sunderland are also lijely to back the improvement under Poyet and west ham will almost certainly buy a striker or two. So will Randy release funds and if he does should PLbe the one spending it.
what is clear is that there will be a lot of competition so I believe we must focus on quality and not quantity
What I'd give for an early goal, god knows where it would come from!
Christ I thought the same but when you look at it on paper it's frightening !What I'd give for an early goal, god knows where it would come from!
First goal will be huge today for all the obvious reasons, but in particular because Swansea's record is hugely different when they do and don't score first. And you can see why. They keep the ball more / better than anyone else in the league. Will be a frustrating day if they get one up early on and then proceed to pass us off the park as they did a couple of years ago.
Laudrup rested a few for the last game. Two years ago we came off the back of a great 3-1 win at Chelsea, made one change to Swansea's 8+, and never looked at the races. So I think we do need some fresh legs.
Most obviously I think that would be Westwood, Bacuna and possibly one or two more. I also think we can't afford to get outnumbered in midfield. So I'd go:
Guzan - Lowton Herd Clark Baker (painful typing that) - Bacuna Westwood Delph - Albrighton Kozak Gabby
I really can't say I'm happy with that. But the other options seem even worse!
We will batter them.

We have no chance poor players who won't play for manager = Religation sorry :-[
It's hard when you have a bunch of kids struggling in a run of poor form. Even when we went 5 games unbeaten the warning signs were there. We didn't play anything close to okay during those games. We still picked up results, but Lambert still wasn't doing anything to try and rectify the problems we were having. Since then our lucks also run out, and we've thoroughly deserved everything we've had so far in the last four games. We can't even, like Soton or WBA against us, claim to be unfortunate to have dropped the points we have. We've been complete shite.We have no chance poor players who won't play for manager = Religation sorry :-[
Interesting point - I've wondered recently if the players are playing for the manager or whether he has lost the dressing room - the spirit doesn't seem there anymore.
I don't think he's lost the dressing room at all. We're on a sump and confidence is low 'tis all. We'll bounce back today make a few signings in the next week and we can put all this talk of Hoddle and Fat Sam to bed.We have no chance poor players who won't play for manager = Religation sorry :-[
