As stated this is the civilly pattern, not that I agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect top 2. If Leeds and Norwich can both finish midtable and challenge the season later than so can we! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need another rebuild which will take time and fans will get on smiths back then we get rid.rinse and repeat. The endless villa cycle.

Development of a good system and some astute signings over the summer and away you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do not go up this season I doubt it will happen for a loooong time. Longer than another season imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be solely down to Smith though but the players too (of whom he'll have signed). But I remain equally sceptical but not to the point of 'wanting' him to fail.

Dave J Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm not prepared to give up on the play offs mid January - I'm not convinced we will get there and until it's mathamatically not possible I will cling onto this. Jack is still to come back and as worryingly that it's become - we are pretty much di@ked without him - that is the unfortunate reallity of the situation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, even after all the poor performances and results of late I won't give up just yet. Another thing, under Bruce even on our good days we could throw away games because of how defensive we were but under Smith we have actually wiped a couple of sides away completely which gives me a lot more confidence if we did reach the play offs that we could get through them. As we proved last year it doesn't matter if we finish 4th on 80 odd points or scrape that 6th place play off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2019 We need one good run to be top 6, I think we have that in us, as long as we get Grealish and Tuanzebe back, maybe even the tissue paper Lansbury when fit might help too given that when we play McGinn in a 3, we are realy only playing McGinn in midfield at the mo.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I mentioned on Facebook that in some strange way I actually think yesterday could very well be a turning point in our season. While the result was disappointing in the end we started to show shunts of the things we were doing when he first came in. Belief to come back and some decent passages of play. I think Kalinic will grow in confidence, Hause will get ready and Dean will eventually get it right. We need to remember it is a work in progress and so many variables and unexpected spanners have been thrown into the works he has had to do alot of thinking. Still not sure if we will make top 6 though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play like the second half on Saturday and we should win comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no problem holding on to leads. Our problem was if we didn’t take the lead we rarely got something out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
