Reivax_Villa Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 This is league far too open at the moment. It's hard to call who will get promoted. Most teams are as good as each other. Fulham, Boro, Reading, Hull & Wolves all losing today.. We have as good of a chance as anyone. This league is tougher than last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle were nailed on to go up, and I think better teams went up with them than those remaining in this division. I think we made it tough for ourselves last season.

ender4 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We're 8 points behind the promotion places. Long way to go, but last season we couldn't close an 8 point gap over 2/3's of a season. We cannot fall any further behind, need a couple of wins in a row to get that gap down pretty sharpish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridays game will show if we are serious about play offs. As it will be seen as another season of can win at home but lose away which wont be good enough for promotion. There is no reason why we cant beat Bristol City, even poxy blose beat them with 10 men! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but so will we. Need to keep pace right from the start, not spend the next few months playing catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just miles better than Bruce and moved clubs this summer so was a bit more noticeable. Bruce being as terrible as he is, mean people pine for the average on occasion.

I've been stressing that we need to be getting 3 points for the next few games to keep pace, however some people are very nonchalant about it.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Before season started I thought we would get promotion. Now I know it's only been 4 games but from what I've seen so far from Villa and from other teams I don't think we'll even make play offs. There are at least 6 better teams than us I'm afraid.
