villa-revolution Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Okay folks, we're fast approaching the business end of the season. If we are going to comfortably ensure our survival & spare everybody from purchasing new replacement underwear then I suggest we make sure that we don't lose any of the following games: Home Norwich Stoke Fulham Hull Away Crystal Palace Swansea Anything we pick up from our other remaining fixtures would be an absolute bonus but only as long as we don't lose any of the above matches. Squeaky bum time? You better believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 All the games we've already lost tbh. If we cant beat norwich at home ten we deserve to go down tbh, theres no way we can continue such horrific home form and expect to stay in the division.

Rovers13 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Those four home games are really, really kind. None of the teams are great, and 3 are sides that disproportionately rely on their own home records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCAM Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Realistically, we need 4 wins to hit 40, although there's no guarantee that will be enough. If we can't muster 4 wins (or more) out of those games, we don't deserve to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Really, we should be looking to win all four home games but our record at home against bottom half clubs isn't encouraging. Let's hope the players respond to the peril we are getting into and play with a bit more spine and purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 think only 1 team ever went down with more than 40 points Realistically, we need 4 wins to hit 40, although there's no guarantee that will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Still think 36-7 will be enough but we want to end up well clear of that, don't we. DON'T want another nailbiting finish to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaky bum time? You better believe it. This is the way undue pressure can be put on a team. I would like to think any sane manager would never approach a set of fixtures with this type of outlook: it's simple, we tackle each and every match wanting to win - it doesn't matter where or how we get our target amount of points.

AshVilla Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Home Norwich - 1 Stoke - 0 Fulham - 1 Hull - 0 Away Crystal Palace - 1 Swansea - 1 Thats me being optimistic Edited February 26, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We're more likely to beat Chelsea at home than any of those four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 There couldn't be an easier four home games. I predict 1 point. Agreed, it's so **** annoying! Norwich Stoke Fulham Hull Really average sides, I fancy all of of them to come to VP and keep possession away from us. Hopefully Lambert's hoodoo over Norwich can see us pick up something Sunday.

The hoodoo only seems in effect at Carrow Road though (3 wins in a row). They probably should have beat our 10 men at VP last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our luck Ireland will put in a star performance I was one of the few behind Ireland here and I wanted him in the team as he could control and pass a ball. He never really got going at Villa but he didn't turn in performances any worse than the likes of Bennett, Clark, Baker, Sylla, Bannan...etc have over the last two seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 What felt like the defining game of the season that we last went down was Norwich at home. They put three past us that day, with Steve Hodge adding their other one, an early own goal. If we go one down on Sunday, we may not recover...
