penguin Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Coin flick for me. Seems almost written in the stars that the final game against Burnley will be a relegation crunch match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We are the worst team in the league and as such deserve to go down, if sherwood saves us then he deserves massive credit. Can't see it happening tho and the only positive to going down is that it might force Lerner to lower his price which will hopefully see us rid of him.

Xela Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Coin flick for me. Seems almost written in the stars that the final game against Burnley will be a relegation crunch match. Burnley have more fight in them than us (at the moment). I wouldn't fancy our chances in a do-or-die battle with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 so much positivity coming into today, only to be sucker punched in the gut. really disappointed at the overall team effort, and the manager's timidity if he's going to be conservative now, what was the point of hiring him so pathetic, so embarrassing sick of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirdle Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I didn't see anything today to make me think we could beat any other team in this division, home or away, so: 1. We will be relegated, but... 2. ...it's not Sherwood's fault. Lambert should have been sacked 2 months ago to give Sherwood a chance in the transfer window, and.. 3. ... we could come back stronger. Southampton, Newcastle, West Ham and others have all done so recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It would be a disgrace to the league if this team didn't get relegated. They are an utter embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm fairly content with going down. The last four years have been that dire that the whole enjoyment has been zapped from me. I'm still to form an opinion on the Tim Sherwood appointment, I am that disinterested in the whole situation and our pathetic chance of appointing anyone decent. I'm interested in the cup. More than ever. And I would defo take a day out at wembley over survival and having to endure another season of this bullshit in this league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If next season is going to be like this one then we might as well go down. There's been nothing to enjoy these past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 i personally think that 35 points will be more than enough to keep the bottom teams out of the relegation zone this season 35 might be enough, I cant see Leicester or Burnley getting to 35, QPR probably will, we need 4 wins and a draw to get to thatt Cant see where those 4 wins will come from, let alone the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Personally the last 2 months or so the R word has gone from the unthinkable to the probable. And quite frankly it is no less than what the owner and management deserve in the past five years. I just hope my glass half empty feeling is wrong and Sherwood can somehow find enough points for this great and venerable club to stay up. Villa outside the top division is not acceptable and Lerner will be severely criticized if this occurs after all that proud history bright future guff some of us actually bought into.

deeps Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) So everyone thinks those above us from Burnely to Palace will win 3-4 games along with a draw or 2 and lose the other half whilst we pick up no points? Once we get that first win under Tim I think we will go on a run, maybe not win them all, but pick up some points. He's been at the club for a week. Give him time. He can't change everything over night! Vlaar's error cost us today, it had draw written all over it. Stokes done now. Let's move on. focus on Newcastle. Get the points we need and move forward from there. This is not over yet. Not way. 36 points to play for still. There's a lot of football to be played. Anything can happen!

VillaChris Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Coin flick for me. Seems almost written in the stars that the final game against Burnley will be a relegation crunch match. To be safe now we need to be 4 points clear of Burnley going into the final day, I think even the most optimistic fan on here would struggle to come up with a formula of results that has that. Results like today indicate to me our time is up this year....new manager effect, Stoke missing near enough half a team, we take the lead.....and still we lose the game. Our only hope is it's a really low points tally to stay up this year, if we need 37-38 points we have no chance of getting that with the games left imo.

KitKat Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I guess the good (?) thing for us is that we've been on a massive skid/slump for ages and still only just dropped in to the bottom 3. At some point were bound to turn a corner and pick up a bit? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Relegation would set us back so much, even if we come straight back up. Because of the rebuilding we'd have to do and the little money we'd have to do it with. We'd be in danger of becoming a 'yo-yo team' and that's if we're lucky.

supernova26 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Aye no fun in relegation. Just ask Forest and Leeds fans. Bad season to go down as well with the new TV money. We're still odds against so I would suggest again putting cash on it to ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just how, how, are we headlong into yet another relegation dogfight for the FOURTH season in a row? A total shambles and I just fear the boggies will do the double on us in a couple of weeks to pile more misery on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
