Swansea City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

We need to win this game. We are unbelievably lucky to be drawing, we need to take our chance. Then we need to sign 5 quality players and get our injured players back.

bookings all seemed a bit harsh except Weimann if I'm honest, none of the others were dangerous tackles, just a touch late (I'm assuming delph was booked for the tackle a little earlier in the move).  We've given away 9 fouls so we've been booked for a 3rd of them, seems very harsh to me, particularly given that Clark's was for persistent fouling.

5 Live taking the piss.

It's understandable, for the last 4 games our players look like they're playing football wearing clown shoes. Perform like a bloody circus and people will laugh,

How the hell are we still in this?

I thought we looked up for it in the last ten minutes, getting closer to them, getting some tackles in, pressing them into mistakes. Hopefully the goal will give them all a lift.

 Yet again Clark gets drawn out, leaves a gap, and they score.He has been responsible for giving 3 goals away in the last 2 games.

 Fair play to Weimann, can't help thinking its delaying the inevitable though.

Believe!

A draw here would steady the ship. Forget a win, breaking the losing streak is paramount. Then we can focus on pushing up. A draw to break the bad run would be excellent.

We need wins - a draw would be ok but why settle for that ?

Our problem will be when Weimann needlesly gets himself sent off in the second half. We really are dreadful today. Even by our standards!

GOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always preferred Adidas.

Addidas was for rich people when I was a youngster

Lol...
Nike was for rich people when I was younger and space invaders was the Xbox/PS of that time except you had to go to the chip shop to play it...

totally agree about the importance of the next 45 mins.
I think had they got a second straight from OUR kickoff after the first, they would be out of sight now, but the post saved us. That could be crucial and we now just need to match whatever they do for 45 mins, and stop this horrible,horrible run.

[hilts_coolerking]

We've not so much ridden our luck as put it in a gimp suit, strapped it to a barrel and skull-fucked it.

[Boz]

Just watched the highlights at half time, we had one, they had six and all I can say is thanks Guzan in keeping it down to one, plus some luck

[Doorbell]

The goal...

Clark's ability to get drawn out of position is shocking.

[seanthevillan]

Thought Weimann's celebration said it all - pretty sheepish. Glad the strikers have got a reward of sorts for their hard work, but the complete lack of quality is there for all to see. How many times has Clarke been dragged out of position (normally forward) and left a gaping hole at the back??

[David_Nab]

I throught Stevens made a good tackle myself.

I'd be considering replacing Albrighton he just does not have the pace to play wide can never beat his man these days.

[SashasGrandad]

Get the prayer mats out and pray we can hold out for first 10-15 mins in second half and make Swansea worry a bit. The longer we hold on they will question how they have wasted a chance to fill their boots.

We will get a result somewhere - so why not today?
