I don't understand how things could drastically change like this after losing away to the third placed team who've already put 6 past us this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I really cant see us staying up now tbh. Our run in is horrible & this lot are just too unreliable and not good at their jobs. As for next season it's tough to say how we'll do as we have no idea what team we'll have nor whether we'll get a better manager & coaches. I don't see enough quality here Minus Grealish & no doubt a few others, to finish top two but of course we may have a few come in so who knows.

It's still hard to predict. We are awful, but hopefully other teams keep losing points. Watford were in a much worse position than us, but they had fight. We've shown fight here and there. We've played good in almost every game until the Wolves games (apart from Leicester away). After Wolves we had two good games against Newcastle and Man Utd. Then we had our worst run (which we somehow kept winning points here and there). Now we're in a losing run as we did after Man Utd. We gifted Leicester goals (not as if we were doing good but the way they had their goals is unbelievable). Something needs to change tactically and mentally. We're still in it. I will still wait for games and watch and cheer. I will keep following other team matches and hope for the best. In relegation, a point could be the different. More then quarter of the season is left. It's not over. We've been in a much similar position this year, and even last year. We were losing to the likes of Wigan 3-0 at their place. We looked dire. We have McGinn coming back, our main issue so far is definitely the midfield. I didn't want to open VT, didn't want to read anything about Villa at whatsapp. It's annoying. But at the end of the day, I can't stop myself. I might be a bit optimistic. But what do I have else to do? I'd say I'm more hopeful than I'm optimistic. We've seen a lot of ups and downs, even during this season. We can still come back and play well. The most time I saw myself surrendering was during December. But we had an ok January. Let's see what could happen against Chelsea, could be our last game at home with crowd. Let's also see what our rivals do. Hopefully we're still in touch after the break we'll have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Problem for us is the players don't look desperate for the fight my take we see it here and there.We have looked relegated the last 6 weeks the amount of errors and disorganization is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I’ve tried to maintain as positive a vibe as possible but I think the writings on the wall now. Awful last night, just no fight or effort really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the issue for me. It's still in our hands, if we win the game in hand we just need to match Bournemouth and Watford to stay up. The problem is the players look like they have no desire to make that happen. Even Grealish was a shadow last night. Losing to a team like Leicester is acceptable. But throwing in the towel against them isn't. Edited March 10, 2020 by RichiBoi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we actually had a very good January- well apart from Man City. Got to league cup final and wins versus Watford and Burnley. It is the last 4 games have been the killer. We had to get something at Bournemouth and we blew Spurs. Defining point of the season. Edited March 10, 2020 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We've been awful away from home all season. We're much better at home with McGinn back next week with a game in hand 2 points a drift. I'm not holding my breath though. Come Saturday I'll be full of positivity until 3.15pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curse of the Villa fan. I'll be exactly the same but we get to be positive until 5.45 as it's a 5.30 kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a powerhouse midfielder but took a luxury signing in Luiz I also still think we would have been relegated already with Adomah, Whelan, Hutton etc A big powerhouse like... Phillip Billing? Oh wait, he got relegated with Huddersfield last year and could get relegated with Bournemouth this year. Everyone thinks they know the answer, but the truth is that you just can’t build a Premier League squad with £130m. You need to share that between 6 players, maximum. Not 14 or however many we bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I think we'll be starting Nyland, Guilbert, Engels, Konsa, Targett, Nakamba, Hourihane, O'Hare, Trez, ELG, Davis Jack, McGinn, Mings, Luiz, Samatta all likely to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure its all hindsight now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected to lose but that performance was beyond bad. 5 defeats in a row and each performance worse than the last. Outclassed not just by leicester and Man City but by Southampton too.

I think that team is easily capable of making play-offs. Perhaps bring in a new, experienced CM on loan, and maybe push O’Hare to the bench. I think Samatta will stay, McGinn also might. He signed a 5-year deal and has been out half the season injured. I don’t think clubs will be willing to spend what we value him at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We'll stay up. Trust me. Keep the faith. We have to give them all our support, especially at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 How many of the summer signings have been a success. Probably would have been buying fewer players but more quality. He’s still filling holes with squad players from last season anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thought to myself back in November we are going down. The main issue is that although we are rubbish, teams easily beat us and we don't seem to be able to stop that. The other problem with going down as many clubs have found yes, lets develop the young players and build on that blah blah...but what happens you do well - you look like you could go up then a Premier League team come sniffing and make us an offer for our young and hungry players that we have developed and this offer that we should refuse..... is accepted. We lose the player (s) and drop down in the league repeat season after season. We will become a Forest, Wednesday and other long lost giants of the game while the Sky top 6 battle it out watched by the plastics VTID Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he's playing every week for Brighton and they can't win either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
