ChrisVillan Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I wondered which of a small group of posters would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Probably 3 worse teams than us but we are nowhere near even being a top 10 side. Probably somewhere between 16th and 13th. Waiting for the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Let's see the state of play at New Year...we have Burnley, Leicester, Palace (twice), Sunderland, West Brom all to play before and on NYD so we'll know by then what sort of challenge the second half of the season. I'd liked to think we'll pick up some runs in that spell but can't see it happening if the likes of Vlaar and Benteke continue to come in and out of the team and Delph probably won't play in any of them. This time last season we also had a similarly decent run and failed dismally to capitalise. Think it's shaping up to be like the past three season tbh, even four given we were by the relegation spots in the Houllier year in April. Just not good enough.

Condimentalist Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The next 6 or 7 games will decide whether we're scrapping or not. I don't think so. I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 IMO a lot of factors are transpiring to point to the fact that this could be the season we finally fall through the dreaded trapdoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If I wasn't an Aston Villa fan, it would be the club I would most want to see relegated Yup! We've become a nothing club. A Bolton, a Wigan, a Sunderland type of club that wouldn't be missed by other fans. I'll always love the club but I don't feel any pride towards the team. Not a single fan favourite/hero type at the club. Maybe Guzan but I find it hard to relate to a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I can see why a lot of people will idolise him but personally I think if he hadn't got injured he'd have gone in the summer, if he doesn't get injured then he'll leave next summer, why would you idolise that? Hard to get a buzz around any of the players now knowing that if they are any good they ain't playing for us for too long 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I actually think we'll hit a decent run of form at some point and stay up fairly comfortably. Just a hunch... Can see Benteke smashing a load in second half of the season Unfortunately I also think this will paper over the cracks, Delph, Vlaar and Benteke will all leave in the summer, next season will be miserable and we'll go down hopelessly. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) As I said a few weeks ago, the fact that we've lost 6 in a row, haven't won in 7, only scored 1 goal and were still outside the bottom 3 really shows how bad some teams are in this league. We will be ok again, only just but we will once again stumble along and get to 39 points. Qpr, Leicester & Burnley for me.

blandy Posted November 20, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nailed on certainty to go down, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Something big needs to change if we are going to stay up. If we can get lucky with injuries we'll be okay but we have a team full of inconsistent injury prone players so i'm not holding my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nailed on certainty to go down, I reckon. I don't think it's that bad - you certainly wouldn't have said that at the beginning of the season, would you? It's effing bleak at the moment but if we can regain some form soon, we should be OK. We don't have another horrific run like the one we had a little while back that will disrupt things so massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
