Mark Albrighton Posted November 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Two out of four teams above us dropping points is not a bad evening at all. Both Villa are Forest will want to gain ground tomorrow night. Edit - just noticed that Sheff Utd host Leeds this Saturday, that will be an interesting one.

Would mean we can leapfrog Boro by beating them.... We would if it was FOUR points for a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ends a draw and we win the next two (unlikley) but if we did it would be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda feel if we win the Forest game, that momentum might just carry on through to Boro. I’d be happy with four points. If we achieve that and the Sheff Utd - Leeds match is also a draw, we will be at most six points off second (with Baggies and Leeds on the horizon).

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I see Boro as a favourite for top 2. We are currently 8 points behind them yet it’s in our hands to be 2 points behind them by Saturday night. Have to keep winning to keep in contention due to such a shit start!

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Just realised we are only 5 points behind where we were this time last season and we had a pretty poor December if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) We showed that we can mix it with those at the top against Derby and we handled the pressure that came with our most recent encounter against Birmingham. Next challenge is Nottingham Forest and taking valuable points from a team in a position we want to overtake. Our run of fixtures coming up is a big hurdle and it starts with Forest. The coming games won't be easy and I don't know what to expect but it's a great opportunity to announce ourselves as candidates for promotion.

VillaChris Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Our last two games are Leeds away and Norwich at home, the current top 2. It's written isn't it, about time we had a cliff hanger end to a league season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Massive game tonight for us. Beat Forest and we are possibly only 6 points off automatic promotion with a couple of rivals in line for another lion mauling soon. I don't fear playing 'Boro simply because Pulis will have nothing short of parking the bus in mind. A draw against Villa will be seen as a good result by him so I don't fear them as an attacking threat. Albion will be tougher simply because they have a potent front three and they will set out to exploit our defensive frailties. Having said that, they are not keeping many clean sheets either! Should be another cracking derby game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will, they're basically us last season, and there's no Wolves this year and I can't see anyone doing a Cardiff again, so unless a team puts together a great run I think they'll win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were really organised and should have won. Got robbed by a blatant handball by roofe. I see a similar pattern tonight where they will sit back and hit us on the break. We’ll have to be really on it to break them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
