You would imagine the police will strongly advise the game to be moved to 12.30. I hope not it will be really irritating. Us and West brom don't really have the tension like with Blose.

One this year, that 4-3 game at VP under Lambert, the league and cup wins in a week under Sherwood. Had a couple of other Monday night games too I think. Barring the dark ages pitch invasion after the cup win, I cant remember any problems Edited April 24, 2019 by StewieGriffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may use the example of the villa Park cup games as a example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I did think that aswell but can see WBA getting the same reduced allocation in the corner SHA get. For FA cup they had the North Upper which is where the ripping up of seats happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Merson08 Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) After the Millwall game Aston Villa have 75 points out of a possible 132.

That 1.875PPG from Smith would have given us around 85 points over 46 games. Obviously none of that is guaranteed but I can just imagine if he had been here from the beginning of the season, and we had this team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Scenes when we lose our next 2 games 4 - 0, and Bristol City and Derby win their remaining 3 games 3 - 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Derby County - Bristol City(a), Swansea City(a), West Bromwich Albion Middlesbrough - Reading, Rotherham United(a)Bristol City - Derby County, Millwall(a), Hull City(a)Swansea City - Hull City, Derby County, Blackburn(a) Sheffield Wednesday - Preston North End(a), Queens Park Rangers 3 of the teams still in with a shout of the last play-off spot all have 3 games next week. Derby have it in their hands but a tough 3 games to get 9 points from imo. A draw against Bristol City and 2 wins would be enough. Bristol City also have it all in their own hands. They need to beat Derby to keep it that way. Boro need to win both and hope Bristol lose one and Derby only pick up 4 points from here Swansea need to string 3 wins together (inc. beating Derby in their game in hand) and need Bristol City to amass no more than 4 points, and Boro and Derby to get 3 or less. Sheff Weds need 2 wins and for everyone else to keep losing really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On ACTUAL performances I would actually have McGinn in there over Jack (Also because Jack has been out for a chunk of the season) However I guess Jack edges it because of overall lift he has given us.

praisedmambo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 How do we know which playoff is 'A' and which is 'B'? I'd presume 3rd vs 6th is A and 4th vs 5th is B but I can't find it written anywhere. If we get B I have no work for any fixture and A I have the exact opposite and need to plan ahead for how I'm going to avoid it all. Tense times.

It doesn't work like that, they decide once they know the teams. Police, travel etc. If we are playing the Albion we will likely be the early kick off on the Saturday for policing reasons, so Playoff A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Here are some dull stats for you... Over the last 20 years the playoff winners finished the season in the following league positions: 3rd 9/20 (2.25 x av) 4th 2/20 (0.5 x av) 5th 6/20 (1.5x av) 6th 3/20 (0.75 x av) Average = 4 So 3rd of 5th are the most common. Makes sense, as 3rd have been the best of the rest over a whole season, so will probably have the better squad and 5th tends to be the team with momentum who has broken into the top 6 during the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I think we are now the anomaly to a degree, not only do we have the momentum, we ALSO have the squad! We just got in late! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
