Swansea City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[manic-road]

3-0 home win. We look shot at the moment.

[ACVilla]

Swansea 0 - 3 Aston Villa.

We will not lose this match.

We will not lose this match.

Can I have some of what you're smoking?

I wish I could feel that positive.

I see nothing to give me much hope in this game but villa have been so difficult to predict this season - some great highs and depressing lows and its time the roller coaster hit the heights again- I'm hoping the new year will bring a change in luck.

Taking my (15yr old) son to his first away game and on the official coach. When I bought the tickets we were starting to look like we'd worked out how to play as a team and expected a win or a draw at the least.

Wind on a few weeks and the majority are predicting a loss and yet somehow I think we'll scrape a result.

We need to get more solid so for me 4-4-2 is the best way then dig in for the first 10-15 mins. If we concede early its a killer but if they can get some confidence and move the ball around (which swansea usually let you do) then we could have a chance.

PS - Do they allow drink on the coach, might need some on the way back.....

The answer to your last question is no. Well, not on official anyway.

[David_Nab]

Well at least with Delph back someone might actually make a tackle in midfield ..even if it is mistimed

[silhillvilla]

Would take an ugly point here, steady the ship. Just can't see anything but another mauling though.

[Ron Manager]

Law of Averages say we are due a win. 1-0 in appalling conditions  Er... Albrighton!

[preston28]

Can't see us getting anything pout of this game. 0-3.

We'll win against Ipswich Saturday, put an unbeaten  run together & get our season on track and get our confidence back too.

Swansea 0 - 3 Aston Villa.

We will not lose this match.

I think I saw quotes like that before the Wigan game

[Steve kirk]

Just have a feeling we will stop the rot with a hard earned score draw which should be enough to keep us out of the bottom 3 with other strugglers  having tough fixtures.

Taking the missus to her first away for this. She's never seen us concede a goal

[Boz]

A goal against early on and I fear we'll lose.

Clean sheet at half time, and I fear we'll lose, our second half performances have been dire.

A goal for early on and we'll have a chance.

Two goals and no response from Swansea we could win, but I'm not sure we can achieve that happy state, we just don't create enough chances the way we're playing unless Lambert changes the team format to stifle Swansea controlling midfield and get the ball forward more quickly.

A new experience for her then? ;-)
