turvontour Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I sometimes wish that i could have supported a team that doesnt have any expectation, so that i could just enjoy football. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 1 hour ago, allani said: We are only 5 points off relegation too. So we are just as far from out of contention for that. I'm not suggesting that Bruce will get us relegated. But as the last 26 matches have shown - our form is 11th and that is pretty much where Bruce will get us in my opinion. Which I guess must be "thereabouts" as it sure as hell isn't "there" and Bruce keeps telling us that we will be "there or thereabouts". Every press conference. So it must be true. That is something I hadn't even considered. I would be so disappointed with 11th if I'm honest. Don't have much else to add but I take your points.

Only2McInallys Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Nobody gets promoted after 6 games. Where were Fulham this time last year?I think at Christmas they were 9th. We have 6 new first team players they are going to take time to gel.I think we will improve as the season progresses we just need to not let the gap between the top two get too big.I think Middlesborough look to be the strongest team but they are no Wolves.I see Leeds imploding like last season .

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 As it stands. Anything but 3 points and he should get his P45 during his post match interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 Nine of the eleven teams above us in the table have dropped points this weekend. A win today would be rather helpful chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 So must win game and we start with 6 defenders (depending on where Mile starts)??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Results have gone our way. Means we will probably lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 This league is way open. No one is going to dominate. If someone goes on a good run I think they will pull away from the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Brentford won again and they have Ipswich next. They are going to be in the top 5 all season. Edited September 15, 2018 by USA_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) If you look at all the teams we've played so far only Brentford imo will finish top 6. A fair few we've played will either be relegated or close to (Ipswich, hull and Reading). We should have more points on the board. 10 points is poor considering we won our first two games. Have a look at our fixtures from Mid November to Boxing day aswell, not great if we're having to catch up on even sixth. Part of the reason why I think we need to ditch SB now so to give plenty of winnable fixtures for a new manager in next two months before we hit that really hard run.

It really shouldn't be a shock. Look at their form last three months of last season. They just ran out of games to make the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If say it's Huddersfield, Cardiff and Burnley then can't say next season wouldn't look that formidable. Bit more of a problem if West Ham and Newcastle are two that come down.

privateer Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Shouldn't this be in "Other Football"? It's certainly not a thread that will be applicable to AVFC in 18/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
