AVTuco Posted April 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2014 This thread is very unnerving. I wasn't worried at all before I ventured here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I wasn't even remotely worried until the last two games. Now basically this season is a complete mirror of last season for me Then we started bad and the team from Christmas played some decent stuff showed a lot of team togetherness, Benteke was scoring for fun and (Vlaar aside) we didn't suffer too many injuries with our better players coming back at the right time This season we started not too bad and since Christmas have been in terrible form, team not showing much togetherness, injuries to better players at the wrong time and not scoring many at all In relegation battles scenario 1 (ie last season) is by far the better way to be at this stage than scenario 2 and that is why I am greatly concerned right now. I cant see where the next point is coming from but again that may be a source or comfort as this team is very unpredictable. To be honest no points at home to Stoke, Fulham , away at Palace (six points from us this season!) and home to an already on the beach Southampton and we probably deserve to go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I think there's a good chance we're gone. There's always one team who hit terrible form at a crucial point and that's us this season. Edited April 14, 2014 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Literally the only positive i can think of in regards to relegation right now is we surely can't lose 10 in a row? Who knows with villa though really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth pointing out that though that a lot of the time that team stays up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 This is surely mirroring the McLeish season. Plodding along in mid table not doing much, then we lost Bent at injury at Wigan who was our main source of goals and we barely won another game. If that season had been two games longer we'd have gone down, luckily we just about have a big enough buffer. Think the same will happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There is a chance we will go down as we're not even drawing matches anymore. 2 draws should see us ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezzRexx Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I really think that we've sleep walked into relegation. This entire season we hadn't been below 13th, now we've hit terrible form and it will take us a while to respond. Hard to see us collecting 2+ points. I think a team will go down on 36 points by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Still not worried. The loss of form is simply not good enough but other teams around us will struggle to rise above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor1888 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) This thread is very unnerving. I wasn't worried at all before I ventured here. That's the effect of these types of things, they spread fear and don't do the club any good. There's five games to play, look up the table and fight for every point that will get us to a position that betters last year's. Ignore the negativity and believe in the team and club.

TezzRexx Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Get behind the lads - plain and simple. Always do, alot of people don't though, hence our poor form at home. 1-0 up against Stoke and people started moaning and the atmosphere was non-existant. Complete contrast to the Chelsea game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 All these rumours about training ground bust ups are worrying me. I hope they're just silly internet rumours with people guessing at anything to rationalise our bad form but with Lambert coming out and saying there are private issues happening behind the scenes that people don't know about, when questioned on why he thinks we have progressed this season. It makes me wonder what it could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agbonla-score Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 What a load of tosh. We're going through a bad run of form and we'll probably not finish higher than say, 15 or 16, but we're not going down. Fours words: Sunderland, Cardiff, Norwich, Fulham. If you were a neutral you would probably bet on us staying up. Having said that, the team is still a pile of poopoo and weewee and Lambert has one more season. (and he probably knows it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherchian Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Bookies seem confident that we will survive. 20/1 on Betfair. We still have a couple of weeks before any panic should set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't say that (putting a question mark at the end of sentence doesn't make it ok to imply people said that either), but we certainly don't help.
