Keyblade Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I don't get it, were people expecting Watford to not win another game until the end of the season? This was the closest to a dead cert among the lot for them. If they didn't win this one but beat Newcastle before we played Palace, would we be down then? Still 15 points to play for, as well as Watford and West Ham playing each other. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 We have scored two goals since the restart both by defenders from set plays. We are absolutely awful, not sure why we have come out of this lock down completely nullifying any attacking ability and focusing on keeping it tight, we can't defend our way out of this. It's too little too late, we needed to go for it against Newcastle and Sheff Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 If people think we're relegated because Watford have beat Norwich then we were already relegated before the game started because Watford were always going to win. What will decide it is how the table looks after we've played Palace, if we win that then the furthest Watford can be from us is four points, which is catchable with the games they have left to play. If Newcastle can do us a favor, or if we can get a surprise result tomorrow then they might not even be four points ahead of us after the weekend. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wonder if this result will effect the players mentally. They now know they will have to win 2 games just to get out of the bottom 3. Will be interesting to see how we perform on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I hope we beat Man Ure just so that I can watch these miserable types change their tune in the hope nobody notices their u-turns ! We were only ever going to avoid the drop by winning games so tonight was irrelevant. It was and still is entirely down to us to win three out of the last five games. If we do that, we are safe and if we don't, we go down and deservedly so. I'm not ready to give up on this yet ! #UTV #VTID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 We can keep harping on about what Bournemouth and Watford and West Ham are doing and talking about their results. We can have zero complaints, things have gone pretty well around us since we resumed. We need points. Thursday. 3 of them. Keeping an eye on what the rest is doing is counter productive in our form. We aren't staying in the league on 27 so........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing your mind based on things that happen is a U turn? Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to rely on ourselves and win some games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 And if we don't try to beat United, we won't. If we try to be clever, nick it, defensively we aren't good or smart enough to do that so at this stage - have a crack for christs sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are so crap, the only hope was that Watford is even crapper and we get lucky with one win or a couple draws. And now that scenario is out of the window, together with our hope.

The Fun Factory Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I keep forgetting Norwich went up as the Champions and Shef Utd came second but the blades have had by far the better season. I don't think Norwich had to do such a major rebuild as us either. However last year I was never that impressed, they just went on a really good run from about November/December time onwards with Pukki scoring for fun. You kind of forget how big the drop off in quality the championship is to the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Newcastle can turn them over it's all to play for. We have 2 great opportunities in Palace and Everton to get points (so 1 more than them if they lose 2 Newcastle). We both play Arsenal, which can go either way, and depending on things go West Ham could be a great opportunity for us as well. All's not lost. Watford are just as bad as us.

jim Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 That’s pretty much that now. We will go down, not because of this game but because we didn’t make the most of the easier run we had. Only ourselves to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 well thats it then, lets throw the towel in and pack up now. Cancel your Sky sports, NBC sports, ABC sports or whatever channel you watch Villa on and wait until the championship starts... ffs, we are still in with a shout.....the last umpteen posts say we are already down. Until it is mathmatecally confirmed we still have a chance. yes, Watford won, but on that performance against Norwich i would not bet on them getting another win. Maybe a draw or two. We still have a chance and we have to believe we have a chance.....yes, it's going to be hard and it is more than likely we will drop.....but but keep the faith If we were in the trenches in the war and were going over the top and i looked behind me most of you lot would be running the other way !!!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
