KMitch Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Unless we sign 6-7 more players, we're going to finish dead last. Until we actually see what our squad looks like when the window shuts, I can't make a proper judgement on where we'll finish up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 In Smith I believe, let's win the stupid league Seriously, anything above 17th would be a good first season. Consolidate and build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Alonso is the driver I'd still go 1st. Deano is our Alonso, he will guide us to safety. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I saw a (BBC I think) computer prediction that had us finishing 17th. Seriously can't see us finishing below Brighton & palace (who were just above) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It really depends and will be determined by things that are beyond us, as is. I am confident with Dean Smith at the helm. I think we have made an excellent selection there. I can't foresee how our season will fare, but Smith has earned my support. Whether it be working with and getting the most out of players that perhaps aren't up to the grade, or players who set the standards. I think Smith will have us challenging. Our final league standing will be heavily influenced by which playing personnel we bring in, and the agility of their integration into whatever setup and approach Smith has in mind. I voted 10th, but I don't expect us to achieve like Wolves have, not this season. It will be interesting though, I think we have some ambitious people leading the way for Villa's foreseeable future. And it wouldn't surprise me if their nous matches their desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've gone for 11th. The owners have stated they are not interested in flirting with relegation and I believe them. We will see lots more excellent players join us with a head coach who has a defined way of playing and instills in the players exactly what is expected of them and makes them certain of exactly what they need to do. We will be like night and day compared to our last premier league campaign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted June 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm further encouraged now that Benitez has left Newcastle, that's them relegated imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I went for 12th. Outside the top 8 or 10, there are all much of a muchness so if we can get a decent squad together then for once I'm going to be optimistic but also recognise we'll have some stinkers but we'll be ok. I think bizarrely the Sheff Utd boss made me more confident when he was discussing signings and said Norwich and them would be competing for transfers but Villa are in a different league in regards to transfers. I believe in Smith and with some good purchases he'll get us between top of the best of the rest and relegation candidates hence 12th place seems a good guess.

villabromsgrove Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 10th for me. I'm placing my faith in Purslow, Suso and Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I’ve guessed 12th on the assumption we will get half of our ‘plan A’ targets and most of our ‘plan B’ targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Re open a new poll it would be fantastic to see the difference in that one above to one now. I think a solid 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
