Tell 'em they're dreaming. £50 minimum, and that's because you're a generous bastard! They are like the stingy banker trying to tempt me. Well I say NO DEAL!!! .(unless we get to the playoff final.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I hope we get promoted but I hope you get your bonus while we do it.

Mazrim Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 They can shake more than less than 3-1. Also £9? Not a round tenner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I had written us off but looking at the date I had put the bet on after the Derby game. Jack was back! I wonder what the odds were before that. 26 minutes ago, Mazrim said: They can shake more than less than 3-1. Also £9? Not a round tenner? It actually £8.96.

I stand towards the back of the Holte Upper and enjoy a good sing song and atmosphere. Now , at Home, whether it’s a cause and effect thing...there’s no doubt the 2 most noisy periods of the game are typically the first 15 minutes, and the middle 15 of the Second Half. Any initial buzz in the first half flattens out if we aren’t on top, and from 35 odd minutes onwards ( incredibly !) people are off to the bar. Those same people often only get back in their stride 10 minutes after half time. And ( again incredibly to my good self) the last 15 is when people start to clear off. Id say the above is pretty much the case Away aswell except for the last 15 minutes bit. Like I say, probably nothing but it did kind of fit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skills Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Ive got us needing at least 14 points to make playoffs (on goal difference) from the last 8 games using a simple algorithm wins against blackburn, rotherham, bolton and milwall are a must! Points 1st Norwich 94 2nd Leeds 89 3rd Sheffield Utd 88 4th WBA 83 5th Brough 75 6th Villa 71 7th Preston 71 8th Derby 71 9th Bristol 70 10th Forest 66 11th Wednesday 68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s games we have the best chance of winning. The Sheff Wed game I would take a point. Also looking at sheff wed’s run in and I think they will start dropping down the table. Against better teams Bruce sets up not to lose. Those 0-0’s won’t get them to the playoffs. edit: what I am talking about? Against every team Bruce sets up not to lose! It’s just against the better teams they also struggle to create chances. Edited March 28, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted March 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2019 Treating myself to the ‘We hate Villa derby’ tonight. West Brom are terrible. We certainly shouldn’t fear them if we make it and come up against them in the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 As we’re talking betting, I had £10 on Villa promotion and sha relegation at 34/1 at the start of the season. Crap odds considering how far out of the promotion picture we ended up at one point, but it’s still got an outside chance if small heath can somehow finally get flushed.

jackbauer24 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 So Blackburn, Sheff Weds, Rotherham, Bristol, Bolton, Millwall, Leeds and Norwich to go. In the reverse fixtures we picked up eight points. We need to practically double that to be in with a hope of playoffs. Feel we need to win five of the next six, get a point in the other one and then see where we are going in to the tricky final two games. There really is no room for error... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Without the international break I'd be really really confident about tomorrow. As such, I'm just confident. Was confident v Boro as well. We are running through teams. One game at a time, we can do this. We will be the ones in the playoffs everyone is terrified of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right but if we break it down: Blackburn, Shef Wed and Bristol we were awful under Bruce and most teams looked like beating us. Leeds, we had 3 RB’s in defence and a crocked Chester. Norwich. We looked comfortable in the lead until a howler by Nyland. Its all very different now. Edited March 30, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
