Zatman Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We have Newcastle as our last home game of the season. Should be a laugh for their fans considering the stick we gave them.And before anyone says that they're below us, look at the fixtures they've had compared to us.We have played 3 of the current top 4not like we have had an easy run ourselves compared to what people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the top sides. We have played one. Unless you're deluded enough to be counting Leicester, Palace and Liverpool as top sides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 well in calendar year 2015 for a start Palace have 47 points, Leicester 42 Chelsea 49 think its harsh to think Leicester and Palace were nailed on wins Villa have 18 points in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Down by Christmas if we persist with Sherwood.I've just never been so convinced of our fate than right now. The worse thing is the inevitability of the damage that will come from our next five games. We have no chance and it will be beyond saving by then. We need a miracle.

Therefore compared to say Newcastle we have had relatively easy fixtures. Yet we are 4 points adrift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've just been having a nose at yesterday's programme in the bath (sorry about that image) and having had a look at the fixtures, I'm nervous and concerned (but clean).Well, we've got four points from eight games - I reckon we need another thirty four from the remaining thirty games, on paper, that's do-able; eight wins and six draws with sixteen defeats sounds possible.However, we've got to play Chelsea twice, Arsenal twice, Man City twice and Man Utd once more - from those seven games I can't see us getting more than two points - if I'm feeling very generous I'd go with five. Even five points from those games would leave us needed twenty nine from twenty three games. two points would leave us needing thirty two from twenty three, and that's a little daunting - it'd be eight wins, eight draws and seven defeats.We've still to play Spurs twice and Swansea twice, I don't fancy either of those; and Everton, Liverpool and Southampton won't be easy either. That's nine of those other twenty three games - I don't see us getting more than nine points from those nine games - which would leave us needing twenty three from the other fourteen - six wins, five draws and three defeats - which sounds unlikely.We need to be winning at least six from this group, Watford twice, Newcastle twice, Norwich twice, Sunderland, Palace, Stoke, Albion and Bournemouth if we're going to stay up in my opinion. All of those games could be won, and all of them could be lost. We've got five games before we play anyone on that list, so as bad as things look between now and Watford, I think we're still in with a chance when we get there.I'm usually pretty confident at this point. I'm worried this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm reminded of Kirk trying to break into the radiation filled chamber to rescue Spock in the wrath of Khan.

Jimzk5 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 No surprise we are in this position. Apart from Richards lescott and gestede every player signed in the summer was with the intention of selling them on for profit as we have an owner who has no interest in competing in this league. A 15/20 goal a season striker replaced with a £6million( peanuts in the PL now) one trick pony. we set up to be defend but we cant do the basics, we leave our creative midfielders on the bench until its to late, a manager who Is too naive/arrogant to recognise he's own mistakes, a bench full of assistants with how many years of experience, 100? Who seemingly do nothing and a team which looks disinterested and cant take throw ins or corners in a positive manor. we are screwed & its been a long time coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Who would we actually lose if we went down? Adama in the championship could be fun.All of them will be gone imoWhat worries me is that are just effectively here on loan anyway will they be up for a relegation scrap over the cold Christmas periodThey will all leave the first chance they get Gana was already talking about moving to a bigger club before he even joined usWould they even care if we got relegated? they get a season of premiership experience under their belt plus they are good enough to play for comfortable midtable teams who will be interested in them its not their fault they are being mismanaged by a complete and utter clownAt least we get to keep Gabby i suppose who the hell would want him Edited October 4, 2015 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) I'm reminded of Kirk trying to break into the radiation filled chamber to rescue Spock in the wrath of Khan. Being restrained by Scotty who said "he's dead already". In this analogy we are spock Betfair are giving a measly return of 1.72 for us to go down, with only Sunderland (1.25) being shorter odds. Also giving us 5.5 to finish rock bottom, with only Sunderland (1.9) being shorter. Doesn't look good Edited October 4, 2015 by Chewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
