Aston Villa v Swansea City Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Guzan, Lowton, Clark, Baker, Luna, Westwood, Bacuna, Weimann, Delph, Agbonlahor (c), Tonev

ok so Albrightons been our better player of late and hes dropped

weimann has been utter rubbish and keeps his place  and Tonez starts ?

Luna is awful but I suppose who do you put in

Its about time Bacuna started in his right position and good to see Kea not in .

I dont think it was Kozak's fault on Thursday , more of the service he wasnt getting , might have a knock .

Anyone any idea where Gardner has disappeared again ?

[JUAN PABLO]

subs: Steer, Helenius, Bowery, Sylla, El Ahmadi, Kozak, Albrighton.

not a lot of defensive cover

Probably another injury - all very depressing and it's only 2-30

Bowery can play anywhere

4-3-1-2?
 
                   Guzan

Lowton    Clark    Baker    Moon

    Bacuna  Westwood  Delph

                    Tonev

        Weimann     Gabby

That's what it looks like to me. I think it's a pretty decent call all things considered. We definitely need fresh legs in midfield and albrighton has been out for a while so not surprised to see him on the bench

Hopefully less hoof ball though I expect Swansea to have plenty of the ball today. Plenty

All I can see is negativity, things aren't good at the moment but theres very little that can be done before todays game. If I was feeling as bad as a lot of people appear to on this site I'd just avoid anything to do with Villa or football in general?!? I don't see the point in logging in to just add 'Here we go for another woeful game'........... Do something that makes you a little happier?

As i said earlier i ain't going today and i fear that i have had my entertainment for the day watching 'ammers v baggies.

I will watch via stream but i fear any entertainment will be produced by Swansea.

I'm only happy when it rains.

We are not unhappy by choice - it's very hard to get motivated or excited at the current situation - we are unhappy because we care and love the club.

Come on let's see what happens , we not kicked off yet!

Sometimes it's easier said than done sir. I'd like to. I did the other day (partly in the vein hope that sods law would dictate we'd suddenly turn into Barca in my absense).
Bit like a car crash though, you can't help but watch.

[JUAN PABLO]

Paul Kerr would get in this team.  And he's been retired for years.

What a sad state of affairs this once great football club has become.

Rotten and festering from top to bottom.

You're the manager, what do you do?

resign




its his fault we are here

I'm giving for the Woodward option today rather than watching - it may be slightly less depressing.
