wilko154 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 1 hour ago, John said: You are quite right. We beat Portsmouth (a) 2-1, Hull (a) 2-1 & Small Heath (h) 1-0 in April 2010. Runs of wins were more regular back then. We won 4 on the trot in December 2009 beating Hull (h) 3-0, Manchester Utd (a) 1-0, Sunderland (a) 2-0 & Stoke (h) 1-0. We had done the same in August/September 2009 beating Liverpool (a) 3-1, Fulham (h) 2-0, Small Heath (a) 1-0 & Portsmouth (h) 2-0. We added a third in December 2008/January 2009 beating Hull (a) 1-0, WBA (h) 2-1, Sunderland (a) 2-1 & Portsmouth (a) 1-0. We did trebles for fun in 2008. First we beat Wigan (a) 2-1, Spurs (h) 2-1,& Reading (h) 3-1 in December 2007/January 2008. We then beat Bolton (h) 4-0, Derby (a) 6-0 & Small Heath (h) 5-1 during April. We beat Spurs (a) 2-1, WBA (a) 2-1 & Sunderland (h) 2-1 in September. Finally we beat Everton (a) 3-2, Bolton (h) 4-2 & West Ham (a) 1-0 in December. Happy Days! Out of all of the stats we have achieved over the past few years this has to be the worst one! Seven years since stringing 3 wins together! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Johnstone Hutton - Chester - Baker - Taylor Lansbury - Jedinak - Hourihane Adomah - Kodjia - Grealish We will never have a better chance to win 3 league games in a row. If we don't do it here, it'll never happen. Gutted Green will be out for a few games, he'll be a huge miss to the side. He and Adomah offer the quick, direct play which has been really useful for us. Grealish should come in and do fine against Rotherham at least anyway. Anything less than 3 points tomorrow will be a disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I hope we win our third in a row in a positive fashion. 6-0 drubbing, Kodjia hat-trick with Hourihane bagging a brace and Lansbury burying a 25yarder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 regardless of how indifferent we have been and now we have won 2 on the bounce i expect nothing more than a Villa win. Although i would not be taking the 4/5 on offer from the bookies, far too skinny that is !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 We're up against the shittest team in the league, but a third win in a row, away from home? Rotherham 1-0, for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Rotherham lost 3-2 to Huddersfield at home and beat Norwich in recent weeks. Certainly no pushover. We're awful away from home, and for that reason can't see a win here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't lost since my GF finally saw AV live at VP (v Derby) So I'm claiming its her fault we are winning. It's my Birthday today so I have a few wishes 1 - 3pts 2 - Great performance (no Hoofing) 3) No SJ & 4) No Hutton As luck would have it I'm working today and have a 5hr drive so I'll even miss the coverage UTV VTID Bunn Bree Chester Baker Taylor Jedi Lansbury Hourihane Adomah Kodjia Grealish IMHO our best 11 atm (+ Green, Bacuna & Hogan?)

You can't change a keeper and a defender after 2 clean sheets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 There is no acceptable excuse that anyone could possibly invent for anything less than a win against Rotherham. They are the pits and nailed on for relegation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I don't like doing it, it soothes the pain of losing a little bit. Wont be doing that today though, we will win! Somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We have won two in a row playing 4-3-3, I just hope Steve Bruce doesnt decide to piss about and give one of his tactical masterclasses by changing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
