let's get to half time at 0-0 and we could see a different side.

How many goals have we conceded in the second half the last three games??

Yes, it worked really well against Spurs.

More BBC villa season stats:

 'Paul Lambert's side have conceded seven goals to opposition defenders in the Premier League this season - only Wigan (eight) have fared worse.
The Villans have attempted just four shots on target in their last three Premier League game'

I'm going for a sneaky draw in this one

Swansea aren't exactly Spurs though. a first half clean sheet might be just what we need.

Only I fear, if we can score ourselves and our stats don't bode well.

Wigan were the one team who were on a run even worse than us, and they buried us.  I don't think 0-0 at half time would be that big a deal.  It'd be surely better to score a goal for a start.

Swansea 0 Ten man Villa 0.

It won't be enough to remove the cloud or move us far up the table but I'd take it now. Swansea have won 3, drawn 5 and lost 2 at home. Can't decide who will get sent off for us but it's been on the cards for weeks. Delph or Herd is my bet, though don't be surprised if it's Clark.

The problem is that we seem unable to pose any kind of attacking threath without leaving our midfield wide open.

I'd argue that 0-0 at half time would be a starting point. Then we could, in the second half, take a little more risk, but not deploy the risky gung-ho approach that burned us in the Spurs game.

If Swansea completely fail to turn up and we are on top of our game, then i reckon about 4-0 to Swansea....

Keep Ireland and Delph out then we have a chance.  I would give Marco a chance from the off.  I wouldnt be supprised if we win or get tonked.
