I can't really see any consistency coming whilst we have such a poor keeper - I think winning most of our home games is the best you can hope for. Unless Nylan suddenly finds his feet. Its our inability to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame the new owners for this as the takeover took so long and getting rid of bruce at that point would have been a mess if we thought of it logically. Bruce was backed but we can now honestly say he did a absolutely dreadful job this summer with the signing of this crap keeper and diabolical defence.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We could still do it. The lack of winning consistency across the league means that ground can be made up quickly if you can hit a sustained win streak. We’ll probably lose quite a few games between now and January, but we’ll win enough to keep us just about close enough to catch teams in the lower play off spots IF we can put a good run together post Jan.

holteend1982 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's still achievable. We really need to hit a run of 4 or 5 wins together though as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 One of the most annoying things about all this for me is that there a going to be a couple of truly bang average teams promoted this year. And we likely wont have challenged them in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well it's going to be playoffs at best. Hopefully we can sort the squad out in January and then we'll have a chance in the playoffs. With the current team we'd get roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season after 15 games Fulham had 19 points and they were in 16th place..... After 25 games they were 12th on 36 points And started to surge up the table after that because after 35 games they were one point behind Villa on 62 points in 4th place Of course they finish 3rd as we know.

villalad21 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just don't see how we're getting anywhere near the top 6 with the worst back 5 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I honestly don’t see us seriously challenging. Too many things to sort out, but next season we should be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Derby on the ascendancy. Seriously look impressive. Dominating Borough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The problem with next season if Newcastle come down they will walk the league they always do. Its getting harder and harder each year for us. But I think we need a plan and appointing smith is a long term project. I believe he will get it right once he can get a dec3nt keeper in as well as some defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Defence is shocking so promotion isn't a possibility. We have Bruce and Orjan Poundland to thank for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We haven't got the ability to go away and grind out 1-0s like we did last season, think of a game like Forest away in January when we scored early and soaked up the pressure comfortably. Sheffield United another, were battered for most of the game and nicked the winner in the last minute. This season we lose there 4-1. Unless we suddenly rediscover that we aren't finishing in the top 6 and it's very unlikely to start until January as we will have someone dodgy in goal and a mediocre back 4.
