ThunderPower_14 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It doesn't matter if there are teams that are worse than us if we don't learn to score. They say defence wins championships but the ability to put the ball in the back of the net keeps you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have no clue whether we will be relegated or not. The last three years I have said yes, at the start of this season I had us down by April. Now? absolutely no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ...I just wish I'd put a bet on back then.Well get yourself down the bookies then, they've not changed since August. 3/1Interesting. I'd imagined that after we were on 10 points after 3 games or whatever it was, the odds would have lengthened. That would have been the time to pounce. But if they've just stayed the same, then perhaps that refelcts the bookies view that we're clearly one of the candiates to drop.3/1 is not a bad price though. Anything better than evens is pretty appealing. We hit over 9 or 8/1 at one point on that graph I shared, that must have been at the height of our good run.

Big difference between the two things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 For me it all depends on whether or not we keep our three best players fit. Vlaar, Benteke and Delph. Without them for a large chunk for the remainder of the season we will get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Sign a decent winger and get Benteke firing and we will be fine. Might need to get a striker in on loan also if Kozak doesn't get back playing. 11th place finish. Lambert is going to sign a decent winger in a million years, and even if he did, where would he play? Eh...as a wing forward in our 4-3-3 formation. A decent winger with a good touch and end product would do wonders for us. We were linked to Gnabry, Moses, Sinclair and Atsu in the Summer so I don't see it as being too far fetched to suggest we might sign a winger in January.

We'll probably just get Tonev back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Do we really think Lambert will have any significant money to spend in January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't think we are interesting enough to go down. We should offer our services to the NHS for insomniacs. That could claw back some of the money Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I would be lumping money on us to go down if they were the team i didn't support Apathy FC surely have to be amongst the favourites especially with Lambert at the helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nailed on certainty to go down, I reckon. That has surprised me Peter unless that was a sarcasm post? Infact whenever Blandy appears on the left hand corner I always prepare myself for a 5 page analytical essay so I'm probably more in shock at the one line answer.

benireduk Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looking for 10pts from the next 4 games. I know we probably won't get them, but these are games we should be winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.k fair enough. As I've said I think new years day at 5pm will be a very good time to assess, we could be on say 25 points and be ticking along comfortably or we could be stuck on 20 and in the bottom 3.

danceoftheshamen Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's not looking good is it!.. If we had the spine of the team actually playing on the odd occasion we might survive reasonably comfortably but it just ain't happening.. The constant flow of injuries will finally scupper us i fear..Though in fairness any team would struggle with this many key men out all the time...Apart from the moneybags teams that is maybe due to the size of their squads.
