Already showing our opening 2 games live and I wouldn't be surprised if Norwich at home gets the nod too in our 2nd home game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nothing to fear in this league, especially this season if we go and sign the likes of Terry and Ledley. Gonna be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's important but the fixtures aren't random at all, the fixtures are all manually selected. What a terrible job that must be! If ever there was a thank-less task eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't think much of any of the 3 sides who dropped down. Nice 3 points to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2017 Based solely on last season's finishing places, our opening 4 fixtures are the joint toughest run of 4 fixtures we have all season (along with weeks 39-42). I think I prefer that to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 October looks toughest to me. I quite like April if we've got anything to play for - whilst quite hard teams (to an extent) included, plenty of home games there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer that to be honest. I'd prefer the opposite. As i said last season as well... its all about confidence as we are a pretty fragile team/club confidence wise. we need some early wins to build that confidence. Win our first 3 and we'll be flying, lose 2 of our first 3 and heads will drop and we'll end up struggling all season. So would much prefer to play the easiest fixtures in the first 3 matches.

striker Posted June 21, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2017 5 hours ago, markavfc40 said: I don’t think it is too bad a start to the season. Our home record was very good under Bruce and we start at home which allows us a good opportunity to get off to a winning start. That it is. We then hopefully go into Cardiff away off the back of two wins, if we win the league cup game. I wouldn’t look any further ahead than that. Bottom line is you have to play every team twice regardless of what order. You can’t predict what form a team is going to be in before you play them. Not many would have predicted we’d struggle so badly initially last season and overall have such a poor season. Not many would have predicted Huddersfield to have such a consistent season and get promoted and not many would have predicted Leeds blowing up over the last two months etc etc. We need to go into next season confident, determined and not fearing anyone and hopefully have teams worrying about when they play us. That's what should have happened last season. Villa need to go for the throat from the off and not sit back too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
