Demitri_C Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think we will do what we normally do in play offs. completely implode first leg leaving us a mountain to do then win second leg but it will be just short of going through. that is typical villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Min 7, ideally (obv) 9 from the next three. Get the injuries sorted and back to full strength for the final 10 games. Long way to go yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted February 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2018 The tickly bit is starting to get tickly. More injury worries ahead of the weekend. Really could do with 3 points again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, AntrimBlack said: What about Tuanzebe, Tro, he is inexperienced but looked decent. If not, and I never thought I would be saying this, Bjarnasson is the best shout. Possibly...... too late now but this Marko cruiac on loan from Liverpool, looks a shrewd addition for Cardiff. I think Hourihane and Lansbury are luxury players ok when the team is doing ok.....bit lightweight. I am not looking for thuggish players, but fighters......I like fighters in the middle, but ones who can play too....like this lad Maddison at Norwich.

TRO Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 There are still many twists and turns left, but outside of wolves its hitherto incredibly close. 2 things bother me, I don't think we quite have the strength in centre mid. No prolific goalscorer I think Lewis Grabban could change that given a run at centre forward.....but centre mid tells me 2nd is ambitious.....play offs for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sheff Wed injury list is much worse than ours. There is no excuse not to win tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sheffield Utd dropping points would make a nice start to the weekend. Hull 1-0 up with 10 mins to go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted February 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2018 Big win for Hull. Does us a favour, and stiffs Small Heath too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Blackburn we almost lost that game before storming back. Don't fancy our chances in two legs esp if the away leg is second. 9 hours ago, briny_ear said: Just remind me, when were we last in the play offs?

KT3AVFC Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Derby and Fulham have recent experience of choking in play off games so there’s no reason to believe that we are somehow inherently weaker than these teams if we do end up in the playoffs. Still reckon we’ll go up automatically so should all be academic in any event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
