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 That’s because football is not as simple as we can’t beat Hull and QPR there’s no chance we can beat the teams above. We have beaten some of them and we can again. When I looked at our run of fixtures when Smith took over I expected the season to be over. Yet they suprised us all and we managed to pick a lot more points than anyone expected. Then Axel and Grealish got injured and it fell apart. Yes there are other factors but those 2 players have not been replaceable to how we play and it’s hit us hard. Leeds scrapped a win against Rotherham yesterday and lost to Hull at home. If you haven’t noticed anyone can beat anyone in this league by now then you never will. 4 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 You are doing it again. Comparing another teams results to ours. Hull had won 6 in a row before coming to Villa park including beating Leeds at home. Does that mean we are better than Leeds as we managed a point at least? By the way that is now Preston, Wigan, QPR and Hull that have gone on to lose their next games after playing us. These teams really do give their all against us! Kind of like how we did against Wolves last season and then lost our next two. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merson08 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 After the Ipswich game Aston Villa have 42 points out of a possible 87. The final projected points total will currently be 67 points that is points after 46 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 11th. There is still 51 points to play for giving us a maximum potential points haul of 93 points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the appointment of Dean Smith the new projected points total would be 69 points that is points after 46 games. That has included (Before Smith) of 1.25 PPG from Steve Bruce and the current 1.58PPG from Smith. Using 1.58PPG over the remaining 17 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 9th. Thought for the day: To make the plays off based off last season we need 11 wins out of the next 17 games and to match goal difference need a +16 goal margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a third of the way to go and we're within reach of a playoff spot. We've had some of the best results and performances of any team in this division under Smith. I understand the disappointment as for whatever reason things haven't gelled as we'd have hoped but it would be insane to let that stop us from aspiring and hoping for better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) We’ve got a bit of work to do for sure but we still have every current side in the play-off positions to play. It’s in our hands, to treat it that we won’t as a foregone conclusion already at this stage of the season with a 4 point gap is bed wetting of biblical proportions.
