You are aware play off games on Sky so how you think we will win them!! Tbh next season if we have aspirations of going up we willbe on Sky a lot next season if we are near the top so this needs to be addressed as soon as.

Raver50032 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 To be fair, with the players we have, all of those games are winnable. Looking ahead to next season, assuming that list of clubs is still here, considering our plans, we should not be considering any of those games as losses. Football isn't that simple of course and we can always lose away to a team like Huddersfield, or at home to Barnsley. But there are so many games you generally have a second chance to redeem yourself. What we can't afford, is a double dip in form like this season. Assuming Newcastle go up, Aston Villa FC should not fear any of the teams in next season's Championship. And that said, we could and should have done better overall against Newcastle this term. Fulham away for me from the 8 remaining is the toughest ask. But why can we not go there hopeful of a win? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely our luck with injuries can't continue into next season? Although in some awkward way it has actually helped us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 Maybe we should get a sponsorship from Legs 11 or something!

Hairdo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 vs Norwich (h) - WIN vs QPR (h) - WIN vs Burton Albion (a) - WIN vs Reading (h) - WIN vs Fulham (a) - DRAW vs Blue Scum (h) - WIN vs Blackburn (a) - DRAW vs Brighton (h) - DRAW 18 points - 69 Total You never know but i'd imagine we'd have to win out to get in to Play-offs... but i wouldn't bet against it happening.... Never thought i'd ever say that about the Villa again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) It is difficult to predict as the games that look tough on paper now may not seem as tough when they come round. We beat Norwich, QPR and Burton and go into the Reading game having won 5 on the spin and 8 of the last nine then we’d be flying and you’d fancy us in that game and Fulham away two days later. After that if we had then won 7 on the spin I’m sure we’d all fancy us against Sha, Blackburn and even Brighton.. Confidence and momentum are huge factors and it is such a shame we never got any long before now as had we have done we’d have been in with a great chance of promotion.
