    May as well switch to 18/19 Promotion Charge. August’s opening match: Steer-Elmo, Terry, Samba, Taylor-Albrighton, Bjarnason, Hourihane, Adomah-O’Hare-Grabban Subs: Siegriest, Hepburn-Murphy, Suliman, Lansbury, 3 loanees or academies. Stoke 3 (Shawcross, Crouch 2) Villa 1 (Loanee, possibly Solanke)

    You can't get promoted from the Premier League.

    Regardless of what they say in public, both Cardiff and Fulham are fighting for 2nd. Their sights, hopes, dreams and ambition is 2nd.

    One will fail. That kind blow, particularly if it comes down to the last day, goal difference, etc, will play a mental part in the play offs. 

    Hopefully us coming to terms with it over the next month will make us better prepared. We are heading for the playoffs, let's boss them.

    It would be interesting to see how Fulham handle pressure in the play offs. 

    This weekend was arguably the first time they've had any real pressure on them and they drew, albeit to a solid Brentford side. 

    It's going to be a very interesting run in..

    I just did my annual purchase of the 'i' newspaper, so the little 3773's can pick a horse in today's big one, and what do I see? Not sure if this is a regular occurrence but VT and @TRO have made the big time.IMG_20180414_121813.jpg

    Good result last night, confidence will be high and on paper this is an easy game against a struggling side. 

    Given recent form, I'm going 0-3 Leeds.

    I think the job changes if we're still in this league next season, and therefore we should see a change in manager. 

    This, and last season, have been pressured situations. We MUST get up before our funds dry up, whatever the route. Most were willing to accept a certain brand of football to achieve that aim. 

    Failure now would lift that pressure, but also remove the 'quick win' of coming to a club with money to burn and ambition. We still have the ambition, but not the money to throw at the problem. 

    If we are still in the Championship next season, we should look to build, not buy the most expensive and best players around. That takes a manager with the skill to build a team of players with a couple of quid and the draw of a big badge. It won't be quick either, it may take another 2/3/4 seasons, but is that a bad thing? I mean, to build a proper 'Villa Way' that the fans enjoy watching and shows improvement over time until we are finally ready to go up. 

    In my opinion, the man to do that is not Steve Bruce, though I've been wrong before.
