If we can’t win this game then it’s over for us. This must be the springboard we’ve all waited for. If it isn’t we’ll be diving into an empty pool. While we're still in with a chance, we have to try. If we start that game like we did against United, we're definitely in with a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said if we played like we started in our last 3 matches for the majority of the season, we beat/draw most teams in the league. I just hope they are not already destroyed by the last few results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We could lost to Palace and find ourselves still four points from safety, or we could beat them and still be four points from safety, and we could draw and close the gap to three points. Would be nice to have a weekend where everything goes right for us for once, West Ham, Bournemouth and Watford all losing and us winning. I think Newcastle have downed tools now though, and I don't think them and Bruce will be motivated to do us a favor can see Watford winning that one, and West Ham should beat Norwich, so even if we do beat Palace, we're still likely to be four points adrift, although it would be better psychologically to be four points adrft after winning rather than after losing.

VillaJ100 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Well judging by our complete inability to score we have to hope Benteke has some mental break and forgets what team he's playing for and bangs in a couple of own goals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It genuinely makes football completely miserable for me, can't remember the last time I enjoyed it. What on earth is the point in that? From what I can remember of our stay in the Championship, the majority of our games there were in no way enjoyable. It was totally depressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We could actually draw all four of our remainin games and still stay up, our goal difference would stay at minus 29, so we'd need Watford to lose all their games and for their goal difference to get worse by seven goals, which is possible if they're losing all four of their remaining games and bearing in mind their last one is against Man City. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) This side couldn't beat an egg at the moment. Anybody who think we can still stay up must be on crack. Edited July 10, 2020 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was totally depressing. Different strokes and all, but I can't agree with this. I actually went to matches in the Championship, and we won quite a large proportion of them. I had a better time over those three years than I have done at any other point in the last 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Over the last 7 games we are the worst team in the league, just tipping out Bournemouth on GD. But since the other clubs have only played 6 games since the restart we are 19th in that ranking since Norwich have lost every single game. 6 games played since the restart. 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. 2-9 and minus 7 in goal difference. That is pathetic. Edited July 10, 2020 by sne Edited: Had the Leicester game in there but that was pre restart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
