My measure of a manager is not subs, it’s not making 15 changes per game or stupid interviews. It’s do I like watching this team play football and are the players improving. Dean provides both.

I've only bothered checking the last 10 years but 55 would've got us top half every other time I'll take that as a bit of karma for finishing 17th on our points total last season!

LondonLax Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 A good season overall, including some fantastic wins against top sides. Strangely it was often the lower sides we struggled against. There is plenty to build on for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AV82 Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 He walked to the centre circle at FT and waved to the fans as he was thumping the lion on his chest. Not only is he a local but he supports the **** Villa! We're so lucky to have him in charge. Great, great season boss. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply said 50 points knowing where that usually gets you and it being a significant amount more than the season before. Next season providing we spend this summer like last I want 60, that will usually have you looking at Europa League places and cement us as a serious team to potential targets and sponsors 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Seen quite a few Villa fans expecting top 6 next season. That's a bit much imo. Top 4 is pretty established and Leicester, Spurs, West Ham are both quite a bit ahead of us in terms of their squads. WE should look and expect to be in and around Everton and Leeds imo. Don't think either of them have great squads. Ff we are miles off them 2 next season then that's not good enough. If we finish around 7th-8th next season that would be a very good season.

theboyangel Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 We asked for a marked improvement on last season and we got it. as long as we continue in this upward trajectory we’ll be happy fans again. I love how Smith is handling the job. He clearly loves it here and has assembled a squad of players he likes guiding and clearly the feeling is mutual! I hope we reinvest as expected as he deserves it. Already excited about next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Only the top two did the double over us. Plenty of extra points we can target next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Just been adding up our results against the classic "Top 6" and Smith's done quite well in comparison to previous managers. 1 win against Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea and 3 against Arsenal in just two seasons. But seriously, we need to end this curse against United. It's just ridiculous, especially when you consider that on balance they've not been much better than most of these teams over the past decade. Since 2010/11: vs Arsenal: 5 wins, 1 draw, 10 losses. 16 points -14 GD vs Liverpool: 4 wins, 2 draws, 10 losses. 14 points -8 GD vs Chelsea: 3 wins, 3 draws, 10 losses. 12 points -20 GD vs Spurs: 2 wins 1 draw, 13 losses. 7 points -22 GD vs Man City: 2 wins 1 draw 13 losses. 7 points -34 GD vs Man United 0 wins, 3 draws, 13 losses. 3 points -25 If you went through the 2000s as well I'm sure it'd be even more lopsided as there's only a win and a couple of draws from United to throw in there.
