Boxing Day Pre-match Thread: Swansea v Aston Villa

[Toronto Villa]

We will have the firepower to score 2 or 3 in every game we play. Not every team will be Leeds or Albion or even Forest to score 2 or more against us as bad as our defence is. We are not going to be able to win too games with our current defence against the top sides with good attacking options but against the sides lower down we will have too much in my opinion. So while we might still conceded we should have more than enough to win this game, I'm going for 3-1 us.

Bony to run riot among our back four . A home win.

[Legion]

0-2.

Bony to run riot among our back four . A home win.

When's the last time Bony run riot over anyone? He's got 1 goal in 4 games this season. He barely plays anymore. I get our defence is shit but it won't be Bony running riot over us.

[Matt Collins]

A win.

Just don't lose.

Set up for a frustrating draw I Feel.

Swansea recently re-instated Dyer and Routledge in their team which has made a difference in the final third. It will be a much stronger first 11 than what we saw at VP when it was largely a bunch of kids. They'll have been taking note of yesterday.

Another problem is we put so much effort into yesterday, someone like McGinn must've covered miles all over the pitch so tough to get that going again three days later.

I would take a draw tbh and then hope for six points against Preston and QPR. That would still be a decent xmas.

[CT]

I'm going, so 2-1 to Swansea.

I’m not going so Villa win, plus whilst we lost to a good Leeds team I saw Swansea conceded three against a very very average Hull.

Wherever I think about Boxing Day I remember a 2-0 win at Pride Park about 20 years ago. This will be the same. Bo8nceback time.

Isn't Revan a centre back

[Matt Collins]

He's played both

Less risky to play him left back

That is a very good point. I didn't even realise he still played.

I always think about Collymore scoring a great freekick against Spurs and us winning 4-1. I think Grayson scored too. Was it 1997? I was 15 and a very happy boy in the Holte End.
