Aston Villa v Swansea Pre-Match Thread

[villan from luton]

Think Petrov may struggle to be fit, I agree with soccerhq and would give Albrighton a seat on the bench and Gabby out wide.

[Steve kirk]

Think we will win this one going for 2-1 but dont think it will be an easy ride and we may need a bit of patience, if were struggling to break them down we need to stick with the lads to the end, but I do think we will get the job done.

[villan from luton]

Think we need to go 4-5-1 as heard Redknapp saying how they outpassed the Spuds.

[TaxDodger]

1-1. Bent 89. Moore 15.

Swansea are a tough team, I expect it to be close. I reckon a draw but if we score first we will win.

[hawkeye]

I would definately start with the same 11 if Petrov isnt fit then bring in Herd and take it from there.

[villan from luton]

Is Herd fit? Would like Gardner to get a chance if Petrov is not fit.

[Ian.]

If Petrov unfit it will be a blow but if so bring in Gardener. Give him a chance.

[PaulWinch again]

Gardner should definitely be the option.

It's all very well getting a marquee result at Chelsea now  we have to consolidate by beating   Swansea. Anything other than a win will be disapppointing.
They are very good defensively so the best I can hope for is a 1-0 win.

[Shrek]

Gabby took Abit of a battering at Chelsea and Marc ran himself ragged, so I'd rest the pair.

We have to freshen things up or a fresh Swansea team will be all over us.

Why will Swansea be any fresher than us?

[TheSandman]

They rested half their team against Sperms.

[adrenachrome]

The crowd will energise the players as we did against the Arse.  If they try to out-football us, we will slaughter them.

[Chipsticks]

Any money on Luke Moore or Wayne Routledge scoring.
