Vive_La_Villa Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 We’re above both Derby and Forest in the form table. 2 teams who I think will be challenging for top 6. Bristol city and hull have good form but I think they will drop too many points eventually. We have been shit of late but so have the competition. I think 6th place could be one the lowest points total it’s been for a very long time. Many have written this season off but I think we can still sneak too 6 and then anything’s possible in knock out games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have guess Hull might think of promotion? Yet our draw with them got them back to the losing track. Yet had they won they could have won again today. We’ve been affected by West Brom goal mentally. What didn’t help us too was losing Jack and Axel at the same time of the West Brom goal. These small parts play a lot in the game. Then that Leeds game. When you try and check how many two goals we scored to just draw or lose you’ll know how bad are we mentally. We were pathetic against Wigan. Bad start against Hull but once we scored we’ve improved. Yes we lack some quality (especially without Jack). But we’re bad mentally. Even without Jack we scored 2 goals against Leeds, Stoke, QPR, Hull and now Ipswich. The amount of losing points while in lead is really bad. That’s definitely not only a quality thing. A huge game at Reading, hopefully we win that. If we could also do couple of good signing we might really click on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bloody negative all the time. 7th best. Your happy with that?? That's piss poor and you won't get promoted with that. 5points is 5points.

Only2McInallys Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think next game against reading is vital.Win that and we could be much closer to playoffs. Taking one game at a time is something Villa fans tend not to do .We look forward far too much and put pressure on ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re scoring even without Jack, but having him makes other team worry more about there goal which make the game easier for us which protects our goal. We’re the third goal scorers this season, which is impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also let in the third most goals in the league which is actually crazy if you think about it, and really shows why we've struggled so much.

Even though our form at home has been poor we still have a better chance of winning at Villa park than we do away. So when I say all the teams above us apart from Leeds are coming to villa park I would take that as a positive. Hopefully the crowd can also get behind the team for those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We have Hutton and Taylor as our starting fullbacks do i need to remind you? Unless that get sorted in the transfer window there is no chance in us reaching top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think so mate. Even yesterday's performance against the worst team in the league was not convincing for me. I think we should have maximised more points this month when you consider the teams we have come up against. W whave another. Horrendous run coming up very soon and that's when I think it will all fall apart again. We did well last time yes but for me it's going to be a difficult ask to pulloff all those wins again. I don't see how we will anyways when we can't even beat Hull at home Or QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hull were the form team in the league. QPR, fair enough. Grealish plays and we win them both. We get him back soon, plus, hopefully, the new players we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair QPR were in decent form when they came to Villa Park, winning three and drawing one of their previous four games. However the form of other teams when we play them is a factor but only up to a point for me. If there is a strong desire to go up this season we need to picking up home wins against the likes of QPR and Hull. Still all to play for though. Not giving up hope just yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what’s costing us recently. Bruce’s pathetic start didn’t help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
