Well the whole point many have been trying to make about needing 2 points per game is because that’s whatvseparates you from the other dozen sides who will be “ in contention” for the play offs right through until April. It’s anybody’s guess who gets those 4 spots and which of those 4 then get the sole victory worth having. We are a play off bet only and have been since September, whether we are “in” or “out” of the play off positions in any given week will remain immaterial until May. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a sustained run to get in and really the results since Bruce arrived have never suggested that type of run would become the norm. I woukdntvsay we’ve crumbled so much as conformed to type, some scratchy wins, some good ones, a couple of good performances, and a fair few poor ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but the problem with “ getting into the play offs” being a sort of acceptable mind set by the Club and fans is that we could play very poorly for the next three months, scrape a few wins, and STILL be in that semi mythical “ contention”. Because of that I am certain that even if we drop a good few points outside 6th the argument will be “ we are still in it”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the club set the target of automatic promotion. Being so far off should cost him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggle to get a shot against millwall and 35 mins in derby three up. I'm backing them for second They're a team that has been built over a few years with a good young manager. We will probably be in a similar situation in around 2, 3 years if we fail to get promoted this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough time to have any proper impact. He needs at least 12 months plus ideally around £20m to spend. Also he has no Premier League experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed but I don't believe he has made wholesale changes has he?. He has improved a team that have been in the promotion mix for some years now. I may be wrong about that though.

JamesBCFC Posted December 23, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2017 You were in for Lee Johnson about a year ago. He stayed and got a new contract. A month later we started our record breaking run of defeats. And today we have just put Aden Flint up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Preston are losing so we at least stay in the playoffs before kick off. I don't think we'll lose today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if any manager did that at Villa he would be sacked without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
