Swansea City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[David_Nab]

We score (yes it has been a while but I'm sure at some point it will happen again) first we have a chance , they take the lead and we start chasing the game they are going to eat us alive.

These regular games with fuck-all turn-around times are killing us.
Instead of playing every couple of days what we need is a fortnight's worth of a winter break for us to recoup and the injured players to come back.
It's so shit being in God-awful form at the busiest time of the year.

Anyone who thinks we'll get 'owt from this is brave or deluded.
0-2 to Swansea which I'd consider not a bad result at the moment...Fookin' shambles the whole thing.

3-1 Villa. 

Michu out, and they're due a Villa-esque no-show.

[VillaAlways]

2-0 Swansea if were lucky. We are awful

[Goldie.7]

''Michu could be fit for Tuesday's home game against Aston Villa, according to manager Michael Laudrup''

More great news for us.

The 1st can't come soon enough. We're in dire need of solid players. The sort we can rely upon to do the business. Buying said players is another matter though, because we have money to contend with, and trying to attract them here.

Can only see a Swansea win here sadly. A lot of the luck we had defensively in our little unbeaten run has run out in horrific fashion. We looked utterly disastrous at the moment. If we don't do something soon, we'll go down.

I don't think we will win this one but it wouldn't surprise me if we got something out of it. We played Swansea pretty well the first time around. But we're in such bad shape, I really hope we can at least score a goal and not ship out another 3+ clean sheet.

We need to score first.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I cant see past yet another loss.

[damon loves JT]

Scoring a goal and not getting thrashed would be a start.

[russon]

A comprehensive defeat . I could weep.

[Villafirst]

A comprehensive defeat . I could weep.

yes, and we're scared of a team like Swansea FFS!

[andyh]

4 -0 Swansea

Its amazing what a week can do.

If this thread had popped up 7 days ago, then posts predicting we will lose to a mid-table side 3, 4, 5 or 6 nil would have been deleted as spam. Now everybody is not so sure.

A faint glimmer gives me hope for a point. If there are to be goals, then we absolutely must score first.

Further signs of improvement and the green shoots of recovery.
This defeat will be only 2-0.

I'd settle for a point now just to steady the ship. In fact i'd have took a point against Wigan. I'd put Westwood back in and possibly KEA just to give our back four a bit of protection because they're a good side.

I can't believe we've sold out for this on New Years Day. Our fans really are superb.
