VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 2 hours ago, useless said: Just our luck that when we could do with Leicester doing us a favour and winning tomorrow they start to lose a bit of form, wouldn't be at all surprised if West Ham went and won that game. Looking at the fixtures I think the best case scenario for us would be if every away team won. West Ham 3/1 to win, they also will likely have Roberto still in goal so would be amazed if they kept a clean sheet. Worst Leicester will do is draw. Think West Ham will beat Bournemouth though, Pellegrini always seems to win his last chance games and that will be another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Chris Hughton surely the obvious choice but then I thought he'd be a shoe in for Watford and that didn't happen. Guess clubs only see him as short term option but he did build Brighton up to be premier league club which deserves respect and played decent attacking football at Newcastle.

Keener window-cleaner Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like playing Norwich, they have given us almost a third of all our points so far. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brighton are playing a dangerous game - they get lots of plaudits but rarely get the points - they also lack options up front. I am hoping they might go down for us.

villalad21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Still think Bournemouth will stay up. Howe's experience will be key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 We just need to take care of our own points. Other results are irrelevant at this stage so long as we are picking up points. We got 5 wins in the first half of the season. I think we need another 7 to be certain of staying up (possibly 6). That’s a win every 3 games. Starting to win away will be key to achieving that so 3points today would be a great start and we can definitely beat Watford. We need to be brave and go for it!

turvontour Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 A draw would have been better for us, obviously. Annoying these teams seem to keep beating each other. Bournemouth draw with Arsenal but cant draw with Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2019 Lose today and we're still in touch - but man do we need some action in the January window, we are short all over the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It's too late for us now. So many teams picking up form and we are in freefall. Imagine the beating burnley are going to give us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I was worried in the summer, we spent a fortune on players from inferior leagues. I got totally kicked around the play ground here for voicing my concern when everyone was giving each other high fives at our brilliant summer transfer window. Proof in the pudding, too many players have 1) not gelled and 2) not stepped up to the required standard. We’re screwed for January now, nobody decent wants a relegation on their CV.

villalad21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 So glad that difficult fixture list is over and we have some "winnable"games to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Need West Ham to lose again today because we're lucky right now that them and Bournemouth are quite useless and still giving us a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) 4 out of the last 5 teams who won the play off final the past 5 seasons has gone down. That sad stat doesn't look to be changing anytime soon. Edited December 28, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you actually watch Wesley and Trezeguet play, you see two players who are barely footballers, lacking tactical awareness and the capability to do even the very basic stuff for their position. How on earth these players could be 'scouted' and deemed good enough for this level is beyond belief. If Smith has to stay because we won't get rid of him then I certainly see in Suso and the other recruitment staff an area which has to be wholesale replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 At this point I don't think it much matters what anyone else does, as we're just not good enough to do our part, the way we're going I'd be surprised if we finished with much more than thirty points. That I said I will of course be hoping that Leicester can win this evening, but just to add to an already disastrous day that probably won't happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
