Perhaps the manager isn't, he might have had a chance if he was given some decent players. Summer was crucial and we shit it. We could have set ourselves up to be bulletproof for at least three seasons. As it is, we need something superhuman from Jack Grealish to pull off an utter miracle. Then who knows, if Suso is bringing players in again it depends if agents offer him good players. We have a chance. we don't know how things will pan out on resumption. Its a 10 match season for us.

dubbs Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 We need a run like the end of last season to get out of the current mess. Given who the fixtures are against, we're in the mire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of teams have stayed up with 3 wins in the last 5 before, Wigan used to be specialists at it and in the 90s Coventry and Southampton would always win games out of nowhere in the last few weeks. In the Sherwood season we won 3 of our last six to stay up with two games to spare. We need 4 wins and a draw, could even be less than that although our GD got much worse in the last few games which is another problem.

ThunderPower_14 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's too difficult to estimate how this will have affected the clubs. We might have handled our time off better than anyone else and hit the ground running. I don't think you can totally rule us out if we're ready to go. McGinn back is massive. We don't have to win 10 games, we just need to be better than we were before the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious example being Leicester but how many times did Sunderland, Wigan and even us manage it? That team that lost 8-0, 4-0 and 3,0 over Christmas period was one of the worst Villa teams I’d ever seen. They even lost a semi final to a league two team. Yet they stayed up.

useless Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The season when we were beat 8-0 by Chelsea at this stage after 29 games we were three points clear of relegation, albeit we only had two more point then than we have now havinig played one more game. I think it shows that we aren't doing that bad if you accept that we were always likely to be in a relegation battle, we've just been unlucky that the other teams near the bottom have been having better seasons than usual in part thanks to the bad form of the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, and Man Utd, I suppose the flipside to that is whilst teams around us have taken advantage of that bad form we haven't as of yet, our first game back would be a good time to start.

Guest av1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm still absolutely convinced that we are staying up. I'm really looking forward to seeing Jack, Samatta and McGinn work together. I think Samattas movement is going to create loads of space and opportunities for McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade to Samatta is monstrous. As much as he struggled as well, it was clear when he got injured just how much better McGinn was than all our other midfielders bar Jack. He's a man you want in the trenches and who will stand up when you need someone to show leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
