I think this is going to be one of our biggest strengths.. The tv pundits over the weekend on 5 were taking about all the 'leaders' we have in our team.. I think its going to help us enormously. JT has experienced this kind of pressure numerous times before, at a much higher level.. He isn't going to crumble in the run in. Whatever you think of Brucie he's done this championship promotion thing a few times before so I imagine he'll know how to handle the players through it. I'm pretty optimistic. After the weekend I think we'll be 1 point behind Cardiff, then there's plenty of games left to finish the job - Cardiff have some tough games ; they won't win them all.. Believe! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) So once again Sheff Wed have been 'robbed' by a referee and Steve Bruce. This time not at our expense. The football gods are saying sorry lads. Edited February 26, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 After the weekend we have more points this season than last season, with 12 games still to come. Last season we got 20 points from our final 12 games, a similar performance would give us 83. Come on you Villa boys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then penalty was as blatant penalty as you will ever see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in shocking form right now and must turn in around soon, but perspective is needed. We were among the favourites for relegation and no one really expected us to finish any higher than mid-table (I would be placed as a "happy clapper" by many but consider myself a realist and expected we'd finish 12-14th). I still believe we have enough to make the playoffs, and if we do so then we will be in good form as the season ends, which is always a bonus as the playoffs start. Your team has done well all season, you are right.......just lost some form. Cardiff away is no easy task, but you lost by the odd goal no crisis. Lee Johnson needs to stay in his job, to sack him would be counter productive. Is Albion or Sheff Wed better off so sacking theirs.....No......look at Blues with Rowett. Its not the answer some folk think it is. Edited February 26, 2018 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton (H) - Win Blues (H) - Draw Fulham (A) - Loss Preston (H) - Win Sheff W (A) - Win 10 points out of 15 possible would not be too bad although would like to avoid defeat against Fulham. So overall we got 10 points from those games in Feb. Quite happy with that return. March prediction time. QPR (H) - Win Sunderland (A) - Win Wolves (H) - Draw Bolton (A) - Win Hull (A) - Draw 11 points from 5 games. Would take that right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Wasn't really sure where to put this but I wonder when was the last time we twice went behind in a match and still ended up winning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just coming behind twice to win well away from home proves a lot of the mental strength of this team. If we can get Grealish and Adomah fit and playing every game, we'll achieve automatic promotion, i'm sure of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will win all bar the Wolves game, which I think we will lose again, unfortunately. Bruce will be too cautious and concede too much possession and space to them and they will hurt us with it. But, the rest we should be able to beat and, I think we will. On top of that, with our run-in, I think we will need to win them to stand a chance of automatic promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t really see anything wrong as such but we got every 50/50 decision and it just felt like we were benefitting. It was quite noticeable to be honest. It made a great change, it’s the first time for a long long long time I remember thinking we don’t have to worry about the ref. He also played the advantage a fair bit, more than the usual al Championship referee, and we benefitted from more of those as well ( just by luck really). Add to that Snodgrass is brilliant at - honestly - winning free kicks.... if I’d been a Wednesday fan I’d have found enough to moan about. I actually think he reffed it very well.
