useless Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 People seem to write them off every season after start and proclaim that this is the season when they finally go down, but every season they always seem to put a run of form together and stay up and usually comfortably so. They're the kind of team that will lose games like today's but then go and beat one of the division's better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup annoyingly we are probably one of the culprit in gifting them points each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Last year they were shit at the start cos Mee was injured. When he came back they started to pick up. However if they're losing with him fit it doesn't bode well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if they're losing with him fit it doesn't bode well Mee was missing yesterday. Also Cornet went off injured very early who may be another key part as to whether they get enough points.

HanoiVillan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 92nd out of the 92 clubs when measured by a points per game basis across 2021: (We are 68th, not exactly great either) (from: https://twitter.com/experimental361/status/1476676622392729601) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still the case that you're more likely to score 3 points if you keep a clean sheet than if you don't. There's a reason why all the so-called 'relegation specialists' come in and immediately focus on making teams harder to beat by tightening up defences. It's not random. Howe represents the opposite approach; it's possible it will work, but it's a riskier approach. Burnley been the masters of draws this season. 11 points after 16 games is the result. If you can't find wins you are going down, simple as that really. And that's Newcastle and Burnley's core problem. They don't win football games.

I agree with you that wins are preferable to draws or losses. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Not sure why people are so adamant that Burnley will be relegated, people write them off every season but they always turn it around, they've already started showing signs of that recently, only losing two of their last seven and getting some decent results, they might have been comfortably beat in their last game away to Man Utd, but so will many teams at Old Trafford, that result in isolation doesn't really tell us anything. It won't be easy for Newcastle to finish above them, to stand a chance they will have to have an excellent transfer window, and Burnley's games in hand don't count for nothing, they most likely aren't just going to conveniently lose all those games in hand, they've only lost seven all season that's three less than us, only the top seven and then Palace and Southampton have lost less games. Also I feel like Watford are in a slightly false position, their last six games have been Arsenal, Man Utd, Leicester, Chelsea, Man City, and West Ham, so of course they will have struggled and dropped down the table after playing those, unfortunately for them their next two are Spurs and Leicester, but before this difficult run they were doing okay and once their fixtures start looking better again no reason why their form can't improve, they've won as many games this season as the bottom three put together.

Zatman Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I can see now why they are trying to play as little games as possible. They are in a dangerous situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few Burnley fans and they are top fellas. On speak highly of villa too. Also the ex villa boys lowton and westwood are there.

Wainy316 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My issue is them stinking up the league every year and somehow fudging results out of us while putting our players in genuine danger. A change in how they play and their personnel would make me a lot more indifferent to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
