Brumstopdogs Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 We're in a desperate situation and need to beat Hull otherwise I reckon we're down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I still can't see us going down on 36 points and I'm confident that we'll reach that total at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sunderland have momenteum for sure but I have a sneaky feeling this is their high point.They have done well playing us the underdogs and today in particular both goals where from awful defending from Chelsea.At home when onus is on them like us I think they will still struggle. But for us this is groundhog day to the Mcleish season.We will draw our way over the line as we just don't have the goals in the team to do much else.

Supervillan78 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Realistically we should only need 1 more point surely as our goal difference is vastly superior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) The bottom line in all this is that to guarantee survival we need to beat Hull at home. It says it all though that you will do well to find an Aston Villa fan confident that that will happen. Instead we are looking at other clubs fixtures hoping they will fail. I'd like to think we could beat Hull on effort and desire but I am not even seeing that from us at the moment.

Risso Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Realistically we should only need 1 more point surely as our goal difference is vastly superior? Our goal difference could easily take a battering at Spurs and City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Looking at the fixtures, next week could be really depressing. Fulham and West Brom could easily make ground and then of course one of Cardiff and Sunderland are sure of points. I think we need to beat Swansea.

useless Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If we don't get it next week then that's going to put a lot of pressure on the Hull match by which time expect us to be even closer to the trap door than we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Given Hulls fixtures they could well come to us in 2 weeks still on 36 points. They finish with Man U away and Everton at home. They may well need points from the game with us which makes it that much tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeParker91 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) I did this last year and wasn't too far off so I've tried to predict the final points each team will get (I know that is pretty pointless when you see results like Sunderland) but it makes me cling on to some hope! 15th West Brom 37 points ( 3 points against West Ham, 1 against Stoke) 16th Aston Villa - 36 points (1 point against Hull) 17th Sunderland - 36 points (3 against Cardiff and West Brom, 1 against Swansea) 18th Fulham - 35 points (3 points against Hull, 1 point against Stoke and Palace). 19th Norwich - 34 points (1 point against Liverpool and Arsenal) 20th Cardiff - 30 points (No points).

Oh, and that their players don't try against us so as to not get suspended or injured for the Cup final. I have no idea how Sunderland winning has got me bricking it so much.

jayEm Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The point today was very important. It's amazing how much difference a single point can make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and Steve Bruce would like nothing more than to turn the Villa over given the grief he used to get when being the blues manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Normally when teams are on similar points like we pretty much are with Swansea and Hull you usually get low scoring, low key draws so wouldn't shock me if we get two draws from our next two. To all the doom mongers, go to the Bookies and put a bet on a) Cardiff winning their last 3 games, Norwich winning two of their last 4, c) Fulham to win 2/3, Sunderland to win 3/4 (if you count them losing to Cardiff but beating Man. United) and d) us to lose all our games..........................and you'd probably have enough winnings to buyout Lerner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our goal difference could easily take a battering at Spurs and City. Our GD is 13 better than Norwich, 20 better than Cardiff, 10 better than Sunderland and 28 yes 28 better than Fulham so think it would take a 15 goals of xmas type 3 game spell to put us in danger of being overtaken by some of those clubs. Don't forget some of those clubs will probably lose in at least another game in the run in so that will make their Gds worse aswell. It gives us an extra buffer at least.
