ciggiesnbeer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I am bloody loving it. Six in a row. Maybe the best squad in the division. Goals a plenty and playing some exciting football. All in a promotion chase. If these are the concerning times then they can stick around. I am having a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Still surprised the odd poster thinks Wolves are still going to implode. Drawing or losing the odd game isn't imploding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drawing or losing the odd game isn't imploding. They can go as far as lose 3 or 4 games in a row and still be first. People need to just give up. We are having a hard enough time passing Derby for second as it stands. Let's just keep focus on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Rampant Villa, it's been years since I could say that. Good to bag three points on a day all the other top sides did as well. Some big games coming up, let's go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted February 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2018 Another important win today. The teams around us will be winning most weeks, so can’t expect results to always go our way. We just need to continue taking care of our business. We’ve opened a nice gap on 7th place, but 2nd and Derby is the target. It is in our own hands, and I just hope we can continue to ride this wave for the remaining 16 games.

Rugeley Villa Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'm pretty sure we will make the play offs. There seems to be a gap appearing, and some teams are falling away. What we do against the teams already in the play off positions will determine if we can challenge for second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Played crap today and won. They say that's the sign of a good team. I'm now absolutely convinced we will finish in play-off spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2018 What a shame no other results went our way. This run will end sometime so we really want to get top 2 as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come up with loads of different permutations, all we need to do is be 1 point better than than Derby and Cardiff (I'm assuming Cardiff win their game in hand). I think we will do that.

Scored 3 hit the bar was robbed of a penalty conceded a bizarre own goal Could have been 5 or 6 - 1 on another day. We played OK but should still have won comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 We are obviously doing something right......but its not all right. We do play in a manner that allows teams to get at us, the better teams like Wolves do create more space for themselves.....we get bogged down too easily. we also lose to much aerial ball.....and instead of helping a long aerial ball on to one of our players, we lose it in the air and it goes back to our defence....It causes us to keep losing ground and relying too much on defence. We made hard work of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have scored more i agree. A couple of offside decisions looked poor, I'm in the Holte so haven't had a close look at the penalty. I maintain that we were poor for large parts though mate. I thought Burton were dominate for large parts of the second half. We all see differently i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Lets hope Bolton can carry on where they left off against Bristol City. Fulham next weekend for them followed by Cardiff the following Tuesday. Sheff Utd have 4 games in 12 days in there due to the FA cup. Cardiff 5 in 17 days as they fit their game in hand in. Nice little run from Leeds would be good for us about now. Fulham have a tough looking week ahead after the Bolton game. Bristol City do too after the visit of Sunderland. WOLVES: QPR, Preston [a], Norwich, Fulham [a]DERBY COUNTY: Norwich, Sheff Weds [a], Leeds, Reading [a]ASTON VILLA: SHA, Fulham [a], Preston, Sheff Weds [a] CARDIFF CITY: Millwall [a], Bolton, Middlesbrough, Ipswich [a], Bristol CityFULHAM: Bolton [a], ASTON VILLA, Bristol City [a], WolvesBRISTOL CITY: Sunderland, Leeds [a], Fulham, Cardiff [a]PRESTON: Brentford [a], Wolves, ASTON VILLA [a], IpswichSHEFF UTD: Leeds, Leicester [a] (FACUP), QPR, Hull [a], Reading [a]MIDDLESBROUGH: Reading, Cardiff [a], Hull, Sunderland [a]LEEDS UTD: Sheff Utd [a], Bristol City, Derby [a], Brentford Certainly be interesting to see how it looks at the end of the month.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Wolves are pissing this league. I stand by what I said before that I'll be happy for them to be practically promoted by the time they play us so step off the gas. Theres just too much quality in the team. They were pissing on everyone without last seasons best player. Now his back to full fitness and starting as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Only three teams I'm worried about Derby, Cardiff and Fulham. Both Fulham and Cardiff have tough runs. Derby have a relatively easy run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
