zab6359 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It's pretty difficult looking at the PL table right now especially when we are statistically a much higher ranked team, hopefully by the end of today it'll be a bit more pleasing on the eye. I really can see us going on a decent run soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a firm believer in that GD indicates final league positions, and we are doing alright. The teams below us got a shocking GD. Although I agree with what you're saying, but still some variables play in. As long as we keep getting points here and there then yes. But a run of losing would be harmful to confidence level then affect GD. I remember when the scum went down the other year, they weren't doing bad, they had an ok GD and even didn't look like going down. Somehow they managed to do that!

Demitri_C Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'd be delighted with a point today tbh. Anything more would be amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 As long as it doesn't come via us throwing away a healthy lead, or conceding at the death again, then a draw today will be a decent result for us, will mean we will have extended the gap between ourselves and eighteenth place to four points over the weekend. A win would be our best result of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draws are often the biggest reason why a team gets relegated. Edited November 10, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 After Newcastle we got Man Utd, Chelsea and Leicester to play. If we don't get anything out of Wolves and Newcastle i really fear for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Yeah we need something today. Going to be huge pressure to win v Newcastle anyway and that's looking a very dangerous fixture to me. They aren't that bad away, have motivated ex manager coming back and I was also hoping Almiron and this Saint Max guy would've scored for them by now. You know what we're like for players who've gone ages without scoring usually get one v us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Newcastle is HUGE. Gaps starting to open up in table now, we're 4 points off 13th etc. We need Grealish, Heaton and Engels all back for Newcastle otherwise it's going to be a massive struggle. Can't see many points in the 3 games after that. Just have to pick up what we can before those critical 5-6 games over xmas/new year where we simply have to pick up some wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern is that if we don't win that one - and we have an abysmal record against them, and they're just starting to play well - we could easily end up getting close to ten games without a win given what follows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Rename it to Relegation thread already. If we don't win against Newcastle we're in so much trouble. Edited November 10, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not demanding top half or anything. Said in August 14th place and 42 points so that's my bar for the season. I won't be far out either way I suspect. December will tell us a lot. We play Southampton, Norwich and Watford over 7 days (and Watford again in January) so fair to say we need at least two wins from those four games. We are capable IF we have our full side out. That looks unlikely given the injuries and suspensions every team picks up with all the games over xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
