AvfcRigo82 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 How long before Cardiff go too far in front and our season pins on play off victory? Got to take my hat off to Wolves. They are showing us how it's done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tantrums, moaning, ranting and raving on the touchline are all a performance. Far from the maniac on the touchlines he likes to pretend to be, I think he is a very shrewd and calculating man. I agree. Warnock gets these bans regardless of well or badly his club is doing so really don't think it's feeling the pressure. Just for Dem...Cardiff have some more injuries. Danny Ward their other striker had a groin op and out until the new year. Their captain Morrison injured tomorrow aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 We are not catching Wolves. 2nd place is still open as long as we don't have a dismal xmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if every manager said that to their teams they would all be top of the league! Yes, because @Grasshopper's sentiment is exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they are going to be so far gone by March they might not turn up to Villa Park and we get 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although wolves have been luckily on that side. but wolves are deserving champs so far. Can't see them losing many more tbh. If they pick. Injuries it will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends but as we saw yesterday neves is absolutely key fir them, at blose they were not good at all and even blose were winning the midfield battle. He comes back scores and bosses the cm at Wednesday. We have to wait and see but wolves have had that advantage as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side of that, our 2 didn't cost half as much, but it shows the minute both are out the squad, we just about held it together against Millwall. I fear we might not be as lucky away at todays opponents. Edited December 16, 2017 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Can still see us catching Cardiff bit if we lose at derby then I think catching derby will be very difficult indeed for us as they are a bigger threat than Cardiff for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I read an interesting statistic 2 weeks ago. Basically showed that the most in form teams in December get promoted. We are on our 3rd game this month without a win.. I will back Bruce until mathematically we cannot secure promotion or a playoff spot. The thought of not being promoted this season is frightening and this will have dire consequences on our playing squad. We will need a bigger rebuilding job with less funds due to FFP if our top players leave. I just hope that we can just hit some real form in the coming weeks and months.

Teams in this league have built teams on pennies and got promoted. It just takes a good eye and good coaching. Spending ridiculous sums of money has got us nowhere. Maybe now we can get rid of the dinosaurs and build for the **** future instead of spunking money on the here and now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
