John Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The 14th of our remaining Cup Finals this season is at Villa Park on Saturday at 15.00. Ayew will be stating his winter break as we face a game that is both a 110% "must win" and a true "6-pointer". Anything less than a win will I consider see us doomed to relegation beyond reasonable doubt if that is not already the case because where other than from this game are we going to get the first of the minimum of 7 wins that we need to achieve before the end of this dismal season to maintain our very slender hopes of survival? Norwich are a team we must end the season in front of and a win would see us just 7 points behind them. They have not won at Villa Park since 1992. Surely we can win this one? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 0-0. I'm happy with how our defensive structure is now, 4 months too late but against a Norwich team in freefall we can manage a clean sheet. Not a clue who or what is going to score a goal for us.

dounavilla Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm predicting another absolutely diabolical refereeing display which will include a clear cut penalty not given to us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were once very good at them although not for 20 years now. Would semi-finals sound better as we have a better recent record in these? But if we don't win this game I promise not to refer to them in this way this season unless we are within a couple of games of pulling off the great escape near the end of it (guilty as charged above I am ever the optimist).

One For The Road Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 0-1. Massive game for Norwich as they have a chance of staying up. This will be one of the games they will have targetted for 3 points to help them survive. I expect them to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) They aren't good away from home at all, they've had two bad home games as well. This is a winnable game even for us Garde is going to be forced to play a Tim Sherwood team for this though....Gill will need to work some magic on his own I feel for us to score.
