S-Platt Posted May 6 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, useless said: None of the Play-Off teams go into them on form, Norwich and Southampton are twelfth and thirteenth over the last six games, West Brom sixteenth, and Leeds twenty-second, they all won just one of their last four games. A lottery then! Should be a fun watch. From a Villa point of view Southampton would be best I reckon easy enough to sit in the home end they don't seem to sell out.

VillaAlex Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think West Brom might go up, sadly. Leeds will 100% bottle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naaaaarch Posted May 7 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 7 The fact everyone's coming into the playoffs in poor form pretty much means that nobody will be thinking about it and it's even more of a straight shootout than usual. We'll be looking to sit behind the ball and grind out 1-0 or penalty shootout wins. West Brom have been the most cohesive unit of the 4 but probably lack the individual quality of the other 3. Southampton fans don't like Russ Martin's tactics but I think they at least get to the final. Leeds really should win it with their squad they have. They really only need one of about 6 players to turn up on the day. Hopefully we can stop them but I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they tailed off toward the end of the season, but it seemed from the outside like he was building something that would pay off in time. Rosenior is a smart guy and I hope he picks his next club wisely because I'd like to see him do well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Ashley Barnes returns to Norwich line-up to boost their chances - I think they've only won three of something like sixteen games that he hasn't started But I think Leeds probably favorites with home advantage, they had one of the best home records this season, Norwich one of the worst Although to give Norwich some hope Leeds have just taken one point from their last three at home and have just won one of their last seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of those first games were awful. Even applying real ale to the problem didn't make them better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It refers to their team of mid/late 1970s.....they were very good, skillful but also very good at the dark arts of the game.....dodgy tackles, nasty side digs, thuggish behaviour etc. The nickname kind of stuck from back then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted Friday at 20:04 Share Posted Friday at 20:04 Leeds should be comfortably beating either of these in the final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
