Zatman Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Bannan for me a much better player than Westwood and Veretout biggest disappointment of last summer for me and doesnt offer much from open play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Early doors to revive this thread I know. But there's very few of us being optimistic about this coming season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't think we will be relegated , but I do think we will be closer to that battle than the promotion battle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Holloway has us down for 16th in his predictions. Top 4 are Newcastle, Brighton, Derby and Sheff Weds. And before most of you mock him he has two promotions and one relegation from that league so I'd say he's a good predictor of teams chances.

jackbauer24 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 AS IT STANDS it's hard to argue Holloway's assessment. We had an awful squad that has not bern obviously enhanced. The biggest weaknesses have not been addressed as we lack any potency in attack. Even if our keeper is much better it just means we'll lose 2-0 instead of 4-0. However that doesn't mean relegation. The quality has dropped so we can expect to avoid relegation with relative ease, and 17th would be in a 24 team division. I personally think we'll finish marginally higher than that but still a way of playoff places. Unless of course we get some proper investment, but that is looking increasingly unlikely. Unfortunately most signs point to us not even being the third biggest team in the Midlands in five to ten years, never mind the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think mid-table is where we are right now unless major investment happens. If we lose a few key players and don't replace them adequately we could go down again, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many would put your money on Villa finsihing 16th or lower? Not going to happen. Edited August 1, 2016 by Gary Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 5 minutes of the game on Saturday watching us knocking it around the back 5 I said to my mate we'd get mugged at some point for a goal, and we did.

useless Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 For the amount of hate Holloway receives from Villa fans, his opinion still seems to hold a lot of sway. Before this prediction of his I hardly saw anyone else suggesting that we'd finish in the bottom half, now suddenly a plethora of fans on social media, are suggesting precisely that.

GENTLEMAN Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It is far too early to make predictions, we will learn a lot more in the next few weeks. I think we are only missing a proven goal scorer to have a squad worthy of being in the top 6. It is obvious the media want us to fail further, but I think we will have the last laugh.
