Bloody hell, to think I've sat through the vast majority of those 47 games . That's over 3 solid days of my life I won't get back

Yeah, but think of that Villa Cash!

I'll get me coat
Good point. But I spent the villa cash on more villa tickets. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh

The left back situ is this years right back dilemma, I.e. they're all useless
I'd kill to have a stop gap like Mellberg though, filling in at Fullback. ;)

Both fullback positions are terrible at the minute, but the choice of left backs is particularly horrific. When you have two players who make J'Lloyd look like Roberto Carlos, you know you're in the shite.

Delph once had a brilliant game at LB. Maybe ?

The thing is, we might actually win this because here's a team, Swansea, who'll finally do what we want teams to do and keep a lot of possession, play a high line and be relatively open to the counter. So, there is a better chance than against the previous few oppos, who were all able to set up defensively and nullify us.

Where are Kyle Naughton and Ryan Bertrand at the moment? Are they playing or out on loan? Both would be worth getting in on loan in Jan.

That would be fantastic. I say fantastic that a couple of okay players would join, but still... it would be fantastic.

I am almost dreading tomorrow with our horrendous form. If we concede first I can see it getting ugly.
