Popular Post Eastie Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Since we went into 2nd place we have dropped 11 points in 7 games - Cardiff have won all 7 games given them an 11 point swing which has proved decisive - yes fulham and Cardiff have been on great runs but having got ourselves into 2nd place we have blown it by winning only 3 from the last 7. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, on the other hand, are very inconsistent. No one to blame but ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2018 All our rivals just win week after week after week. We are simply not good enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to as well, until our recent run. Let's hope we regain our old form back in time for play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A38villan Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's going to be a villa fulham play off final. I just can't see John Terry allowing us to be beaten, I reckon it could be his final competitive match too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I blame this solely on management. I genuinely feel we have dropped up to 15 points this season we should have gotten due to nothing but horrendous decision making. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Just watched Brentford vs Sheffield Utd which finished 1-1. We don't want to be playing united in the play-offs. They work really hard and are a decent team. They have pace up front and are not afraid to run at defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2018 Automatics have gone. Let Fulham knacker themselves out chasing Cardiff (most likely failing), and subsequently demoralising themselves. Just concentrate on seeing the season out finishing in the top four, no injuries, get Kodija back to full match fitness and hope our big time players step up in the play offs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a pipe dream, coming all the way from where they were to slaughter everything in their path, including passing us would be the furthest thing from "demoralising". It could even make them more determined to win the playoffs, and they have momentum. Our only hope now is if Kodjia comes back like the Kodjia of old and can pull off wonder goals ala last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries at really bad times have had a very large impact on our starting 11. If you added up all the games where we were able to start our 1st choice 11, it would be a lot less games than Cardiff or Fulham have been able to.

jim Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We can safely say automatics are gone. I can’t see us going up via the play offs either. We just are not good enough. Disgusting really considering the amount that has been spent on this squad of players. Only person to blame is the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really fancy us against Fulham at Wembley - would rather Fulham catch Cardiff as i would fancy us to beat Cardiff at Wembley and if Cardiff are overhauled by Fulham then it could do real damage to their morale for the play offs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 If we beat Fulham in the play offs, it'll be a much bigger achievement than beating Wolves 4-1. I can' see it, Fulham are stronger as fook. We have totally mugged these last games, you cannot be seen to be dropping points as easy as we have. Look at Fulham, Cardiff an Wolves showing us how it's done We have bottled it!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Fulham are going to walk the playoffs. But every cloud has a silver lining, Bruce will finally get the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa82 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Fulham get 93 points, it they win the last seven. Cardiff need 14 points in 8 games to get 93. I think Cardiff will get 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that will depend how the remainder of the season pans out. I know if it was Villa who went on an amazing run only to just miss out on automatic promotion, I’d be fearful of the impact that would have in the play offs. Anyway, as I’ve accepted that it will be play offs, I’ve had a little look at Boro’s remaining fixtures (I worry about facing them). Sheff Utd, Bristol, Derby and Millwall. Whatever happens, they’re going to have a big say on who makes those other two play off spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
