BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Its going to be hard to strike a balance in this game whereby we cant go gung-ho desperate for the win from the off. If we concede early theres nothing to say we might have a torrid away day like has happened on a regular occurrence this season and find ourselves 3-0 down against a side of decent footballers with zero pressure on them. Then all of a sudden even if Watford are 1-0 down we’re back in the shit on GD. We need to play with the same courage and conviction of the last 3 games where we are solid and still create. But my worry is the mindset of chasing is completely different to the one where you have something to hold. Dean will make all the right noises about going for the win just like we have been recently, but subconsciously those players know we are above the dotted line and they’ve proven to be fragile all season when trying to see something out. Everyone needs to be on it, and hopefully it all works out. Im praying the other games will work in our favour. Its going to be horrific Sunday, this means so much to our club and where we can strive to go if we do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they are, which is why I think we’ll benefit from the empty stadium - well I certainly hope we do!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well vaguely, but then I've just watched this 93/94 season last day They were 4 places above relegation at half time only to concede the winning goal against Chelsea in injury time to go down.

Robtaylor200 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 if we stay up, I will obviously be relieved, but may not celebrate. Staying up by scoring a goal more than three shite sides is not to be celebrated Probably will though LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 We need to make sure crosses are cut out at source because Antonio will get a double hat trick if he gets regular headed chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 They are one of the in form teams in the league and will want to go out with a bang. Need to watch out for the late runs into the box from Soucek and try and stop Rice dictating the game. It will be a tough game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm still incredibly nervous, I think watford will win, cant see much fight from arsenal and we might need to win by more than 1, something we really struggle ejth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this isn't the case. Even if we win we need to better Watford's score and winning goal difference to have a chance of staying up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAVFC Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) The reality is, the pressure is completely different now. Previously we looked dead and buried and had nothing to lose and were chasing, in the hope that others drop pts. Now our destiny is in our own hands and we have everything to lose. A totally new kind of pressure. I hope the boys step up and I trust that we will. Edited July 24, 2020 by MikeAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it’s still in our hands, we’ve done very well just to get to a stage where we are in the best position of the three teams in trouble. I think we’ll draw with West Ham, a cagey 0-0, and Watford lose to Arse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm calling it now. Bournemouth will stay up and us and Watford will drop. I just think they'll win at Goodison. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 A small part of me wishes we were in Watford's or Bournemouth's position and not favourites to stay up, just feels like the disappointment is going to be a thousand times worse if we go down now after giving us such a good chance with the win against Arsenal. I think we are going to need at least one point and it terrifies me immensely that we are going to go a goal down early and never recover. I really hope to God I'm wrong. I suppose as supporters you always fear the worst and tbh I feel more anxious coming on here, so I blame my fellow Villans I'm 75% turning off my TV and phone 4 till 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Why are people worried about Bournemouth. We deserve to get relegated if we can't get a result against a team placed right around us with nothing to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
