Swindon Town v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Legion]

Paulo di Canio:

[The Left Side]

STFC 1 Villa 3

One thing's for certain, the post match thread will heavily feature Mr Di Canio

[Holtenderinthesky]

I think we will lose as they are probably a better team than us right now. 2-0 to them.

[Lobsterboy]

Villa to win 2-1; Bent with both

Would like to see Bent, Ireland and Bannan come in and if they do I fully expect us to win.

Lambert may have bought a lot of Championship standard players but that's still a division above Swindon so a tough test but one we should come through

[levico]

Who knows. I guess it depends on what side PL plays (having said that, our entire playing squad is mediocre). Got a feeling we'll lose which may not be a bad thing.

Can't see any reason for not going with a full strength side in this game.  That said, I think there should be some changes from the line up on Saturday.   

[JJ-AV]

A loss here could be very damaging. That said, I'd gladly swap a win here for 3 points at Sunderland.

[adrenachrome]

Il Duce rested 6 first team players on Saturday, apparently, so he is well up for it.

I think we will win comfortably.

Our players are better but they're all scared pussies. And without any leaders away to a team used to winning since Di Canio took charge, this could go all Pete Tong.

I haven't seen Stephen Frogatt in a long time. If he's been cryogenically frozen for the past 20 years I fancy he could be our match winner if we defrost him in time.

On the subject of Di Canio, mad bastard he might be but we could really do with a player like him at the moment.

I think this'll be tough. I suspect a 120 minutes we could do without. Paulo will have his team absolutely fired up for this, and we just don't seem like we want to be out on the pitch at the minute.
I think we'll win but it'll be hard work. It probably won't do us any favours for the next league game either.

What's Yorkie doing these days? Bring him on down too.

Warm up for next weekends game at Sunderland.

Guzan
Lowton Herd Vlaar Lichaj
Holman Ireland Bannan Nzogbia
Bent Benteke

Think it's time to try something different in the middle. A little light weight, but might create a chance, or 2.

Nzogbia is out for a good few weeks unfortunately

[PaulTheVillan]

Forgot about that.

Meh.
