P3te Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 What an awful day Wasn't too bad. Burnley as good as gone now, QPR need to win 50% of their remaining games, and Sunderland still not looking like they're capable of picking up too many more points. Plus, we're playing like a top 6 side at the moment (in that we're very much holding our own against others in that group). We'd need a complete and utter disaster on our part not to stay up... 0 points from the remaining 4 kind of disaster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 If we keep playing like this we'll be fine but the table now looks as bleak as it ever has really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Doesn't matter how good we play aslong as we don't get anything from games Course it matters how well we play. We have momentum of performance. The players come away with 0 points knowing they very well would've had 3 but for a bad linesman call. Compare that to any of the defeats under Lambert where we created nothing, never looked dangerous and were playing for a 0-0 at best. A team playing like we are doesn't go 4 games against Everton, West Ham, Southampton and Burnley without picking up at least 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 yeah if we lost 8-0 that would have destroyed all confidence in the squad but losing to CIty is something a lot of teams do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Play anything like we have over the last three games, when we have played 3 of the top 6, then we will comfortably get enough points to stay up. What I would also say though is that we have three of our last four games at home. Anyone not already going then play your part in seeing us safe and get yourselves down to Villa Park and back the players and the manager who are giving their all to see us safe.

WooJung Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) The way we play there is really now way we should go down. We bossed the game against the league champions, deserved to win it and only lost it because of individual errors. If we can avoid injuries to our key players (the few we have left, that is) we will be just fine. Edited April 25, 2015 by WooJung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojong Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I wish I could be as confident as some of you. By next Sunday I can easily see Sunderland (saints at home), Hull (liverpool home), Leicester (newcastle home + if Chelsea win arsenal they have title in bag and Leicester can get points from them too) all winning. And Burnley (West ham away) too. And us losing to everton. That would mean: Hull 34 Leicester 34 Sunderland 33 Villa 32 Burnley QPR Then following week it's Hull-Burnley, Leicester-southampton, everton-sunderland. They can all pick up more points again. Just saying it's not that impossible. Edited April 25, 2015 by bojong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We've got the points on the board and we've got the easiest run in, it's all in our hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Of the bottom 6 teams I'd rather be in our position than anyone else's. It's tight but we're playing very well overall and scoring a lot of goals. I wish I could be as confident as some of you.

If you're that confident about it I'd have a bet - could probably get really good odds on all of those happening.

AshVilla Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Could have had a draw today Can't make mistakes like Guzan did at this level and expect to get things out of games Lets face it getting anything out of Man City was a bonus they are still a top quality side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Get down to Villa Park what will be will be. Simple. I've seen enough to suggest we can win another game or two even though our defence frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we are still massively looking over our shoulders and we do need to do the business in our next couple of games. The pressure is on.

Xela Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 As disappointing as the result was today, if we go down it won't be because of the late goal today, it will be down to the fact we didn't do the business in our last 4 games, 3 of which are at home. On current performances I see no reason why we can't pick up 6 or 7 points as a minimum from the last 4 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean: How you can "easily" see all those wins is beyond me. If you reckon there's a chance, stick a ton on it and you'll be a 12,000 quid better off come the end of the week. You won't though, because you don't ACTUALLY believe it'll "easily" happen if we go down it won't be because of the late goal today, it will be down to the fact we didn't do the business in our last 4 games no it won't, it'll be because of our first 25 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 If we can go into either of the games against West Ham and Everton and put teams to the sword like we've been doing recently and just cut out the disgusting, pathetic, shameful habit of conceding early we should win.
