We did it for the finish of this season and big props to everyone involved. But I think it will look a bit different next season when all teams are fully motivated again and the players are fitter and mentally up for it. The games during the restart where on pre season level when it came to intensity and quality for large spells. We need to work really hard to maintain the improvement we saw and likely add a bit of quality too in defense. Yeah, I don't think we have sorted it but we've made a huge improvement. I don't see us going back to looking the shambles we did earlier in the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pragmatically I might, especially as I'm a natural pessimist, but overall I believe we can achieve more than a result that would see us finish 16th at best.

sne Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Utterly pointless to speculate on points and positions at this stage since we know f all about anything about next season. Only thing for certain at this stage is that VAR will remain absolute toilet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Liverpool or City away in the first 3 please. Get that out the way. Avoid all promoted clubs first couple months as someone has mentioned. A mid table team at home would be an ideal first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be challenging for Europe! Or at least safe before the last game of the season! My heart can’t take that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid table next season please. After several years of drifting in a downwards spiral we have just had 3 successive years of progress. I expect more progress next season and finishing mid table and safe from relegation with, say, 6/7 games to go will be significant progress for me. I think we will be far more competitive next season with the addition of some quality into the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolling again. 38 points would be no where near acceptable. Thankfully we have ambitious owners who won’t tolerate us merely surviving every year. This year is fair enough now Smith will have to set sights higher. Edited July 28, 2020 by Mark_1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielesibub Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 We're going to win the league.... I'm no mug, free bet, last of the big spenders. I'm guessing Ladbrokes are waiting to see who gets promoted before they pay out my £1000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right given the season starts 12th Sept .I would imagine there will be no oversea's pre -season friendlies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Because of the quick turnaround and the fact we struggled last season, I would be happy as long as we improve on last season's finish. By that I mean, I would take a 16th or above finish as long as we didn't leave it until the last day to be safe. Remember, we need to add about half a team to our existing one to become half decent. That won't happen overnight, just like it didn't last season. Edited July 29, 2020 by Villarocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 40 pts would be a good season for Villa 45 + pts very good season 50+pts Great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) I don't quite understand the finances like some of the learned posters on here.....hope its in the right thread. Chris Purslow, maintains that had we gone down, we would have lost c£200 million. I understand last season we was awarded c £180 mill.......how does all that equate to what we get this season and will we mortgage it to buy players. can someone explain please.
