rodders0223 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 This year is going to be a total right off for me. I don't know whether I am taking into consideration the fact we have a whole new team, or I am totally apathetic after 5 years of the same old shit. I thought it would be different this time. I just hope we aren't adrift by Christmas and the new boys can really push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 No doubt in my mind that were going down under this managerI'd have a bet if the odds wasn't so poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 No doubt in my mind we will stay up comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Can't see us staying up. We do enough to lose each game by 1 goal. Pretty crap so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Can't see us staying up. People saying team needs time to gel, by the time it gels wel'll be adrift 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Still pretty worried.......don't like the teams Sherwood is starting to put out (no Clark and Ayew after their second half performances??!), our back 4 looked a complete shambles against pace and movement today and for most of the game we were toothless going forward until those two Gestede goals out of nowhere.We need to pick up wins fast...anyone confident we'll beat Stoke given our record v them at home in recent seasons.That's the thing to me the teams in the bottom half are a lot stronger this season. Stoke won't be anywhere near bottom 3 at the end of season, West Brom will keep grinding out wins and think the promoted trio have been excellent so far. This time last year Burnley hadn't won a game and QPR were losing every away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) We're going down. I'm going to be logging off here, just going to update the predictions thread for the next 10 weeks while I do an intensive course. Before I leave, I make two predictions re. Villa:1) In ten weeks' time, we'll be adrift in the relegation zone. 2) We'll have just sacked, or just be about to sack, the manager. No pleasure in saying it, but I see no hope either.

Rugeley Villa Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 i think out the three promoted teams bournemouth will be the worse off, thats not to say i think they will go down but id be surprised if one promoted team never went down. norwich and watford are half decent and bournemouth seemok and have been unlucky this season with some of their results. sunderland for me will go and we have a good chance of going.

VillaChris Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 xmas will be massive for us....we play Newcastle, West Ham, Norwich, Sunderland, Palace and Leicester all in a row.God knows how many points we'll have on the board at that stage but that run of games will make or break our season, I've always said that so I'd probably give Sherwood until then, early January and if we're adrift in the bottom 3 get rid then.

Nabby Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Fox will not persist with Sherwood if this carrys on...no chance he is on very think ice ..His selections and tactics are diabolical.Today was no better than shit served up by Lambert.

picicata Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Yep, think this is the season.After the last 5 seasons I'm just at that point where I am so used to us being shit that it barely registers when we lose now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like we've been getting a bit of luck here as apparently Calum Wilson got a serious injury at Stoke today and he's their main scorer. So you'd have to think they will struggle to win many games. Already they've lost Tyrone Mings and Gradel for the season, blimey Mantis would be jumping off buildings if he supported them!

markavfc40 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I think we'll be fine as there are half a dozen worse sides than us at least. Sunderland, West Brom, Watford, Bournemouth, Newcastle,Norwich and Leicester. In fact that is seven :-)Of course the league table makes it look like I am out of my mind at the moment but it is clearly very early days as shown by West Ham and Leicester sitting in the top 6 and Chelsea in the bottom half.Once we settle, the team gels and the manager finds his best team and formation,and I firmly believe those will all happen ,then we will be well clear come the end of the season.For me this is potentially the best squad of players we have had since the Mon/Houllier days. The jury is still out on many of them, and the manager, but the potential is certainly there. Edited September 26, 2015 by markavfc40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 our next two home games are massive as i dont see us getting much on the road for a bit with the games coming up, but stoke and swansea coming up at home. imo need at least 4 points off those two.
