Everton will have nothing to play for , could have players not wanting to play then the manager makes 5 subs in the game to see some of the youth players At any point you could have a game where the team loses players who test positive and that goes both ways , we get Jack , Targgett Nakamba all test positive before Palace suddenly that game looks very difficult In general there is no way of knowing how teams inc are selves will be effected by playing with no fans , teams not motivated , 5 subs etc and Derbies are always more like 50/50 than form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say the Blues, I was talking about the Wolves game and typical derby it doesnt matter who are the stronger team at the time it can go either way on the day. Obviously helps to be stronger but not always the deciding factor in a derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If we continue on our past form not even confident winning a game to many bold predictions here. Smith needs alot of things to go right to turn it around even basic in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith needs alot of things to go right to turn it around even basic in football. teams have runs of form both bad and good, especially at the bottom end of the table. After Southampton lost to Leicester 9-0 and how they were playing, people assumed they would end up bottom at the end of the season because they were awful. Watford have been 20th for most of the season but they had a new manager bump but are now back to poor results. Results change and you never know. People are just basing it on how we finished before the lockdown. We concede too many goals but we can pull results out of the bag, even recently like the win against Watford in the league and beating Leicester in the cup. We have the ability to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've been conceding 20+ shots every game since the start of the season. Always hard to get a solid run together when we concede so many chances per game. Jack can win you a game single-handedly. If you keep it tight at the back it would give us a great chance. But sadly Dean doesn't seem to prioritize on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just out of interest what’s people’s view on the championship restarting this season ? I personally can’t see it happening given how many games in total would have to be played. My reason for asking this is that we could have a situation where the premier league is told it has to finish at all costs and relegation can’t be removed and then the championship is ended and potentially we have that decided in a points per game basis which could would leave teams in the premier league relegated having completed the leagues replaced by sides from the championship who didn’t and therefore got promoted without earning it over a full season. Also in that scenario it would I guess promote wba and Leeds but what do they do with the play offs ? Promote 3rd or only relegate 2 teams ? I feel the is still far more questions than answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don't see the Championship restarting, just like I don't see the PL doing it, but at least with the PL there is a small risk due to the huge money involved. But even if the leagues restart against all odds I see absolutely no risk of them being able to finish the seasons. Will be called off again before long.

I think they are desperate to get the PL finished for monetary reasons. They might even try, but likely fail in the summer. Next season will likely start without fans towards the end of August - start of September but I'm honestly not sure that season will be able to run smoothly either.

Seem really convenient for Villa fans to say void this season but to say start the next season as early as August. Personally if we can't finish the games in June i'd still wait as late as August/September to get this season finished. If it goes as far as December and we still can't play football then i would say we'd have to void it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TRO Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 Judging by comments regarding the majority of clubs in the League, not many are in favour of supporting the views of the bottom 6/7 clubs. It seems not surprisingly the "money" and "I'm alright Jack" is the main criteria for the 2 thirds of the league. The argument of changing the rules half way through a competition seems lost on them and the integrity of the league competition is negated by self interest. Its a sad day IMO.....I hope we all have a long memory......so much for the claim of national spirit and the winning back of divided Britain.....It seems when it suits money is the root of all evil. If the games do go ahead and we play behind closed doors, I just hope clubs in the bottom 3 get out and the ones that voted for it are subjected to its wrath, by dropping in to it......If ever there was an incentive to fight, this is it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know brexit is a thing but the PL will not be allowed to send teams to the CL and Europe League 3 games into the group stages sometime in late September. This will have to be decided before the European cups start. And then it's the issue with player contracts. You really have not thought this through have you? It's not all about Villa, there is a bigger world out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
