Not great, not terrible. could really do with taking points in those home games. min 9 i'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Good but with a hint of danger to it, expectation will be 6 points after 3 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's poorly done by the Premier league. That’s what I had thought but no it’s just extra week off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2020 We've got another tough run in. Better be well clear by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 No really bad months there. Extra week to prepare too. All good in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We really need to get safety done and dusted before the last month, it’s a horrid run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2020 i kinda hope they make a blanket rule set at start that there will be no away fans this season. the best away days are pre-xmas anyway so we wont be going. but it could transpire that we have no fans at wolves or baggies but they take fans to VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I actually think that's a good fixture list for us. I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have played Leeds away early rather than at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Some very favourable home fixtures early on. Apart from Liverpool, we should definitely be looking to win all the others. We clearly need to improve our away form though, just 2 wins away all last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most seasons it would be, but this year with the season shortened by five weeks it's likely to mean we play a tough run of fixtures in a short space of time. Progress in the League cup could be a real hindrance this season. There's a couple of little runs where the have runs - the four games in twelve days at the end of January/beginning of Feb will be tough - avoiding injuries will be crucial this year.

abdulaziz1 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looking forward. Although we have a 2 sets of fixtures which seems bad. Were we play 3 top teams on row, but atleast not as bad as the November one last season. Two away derbies and Newcastle at December. One week to prepare more and new signings get more time to settle. All good I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our LC games we’ve had a second team. Don’t think we shall surrender it unless we had a very hard start. It’s our realistic chance to win something and get back to Europe. Also it’s only one leg in semis, and most teams won’t take it seriously (more than ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I guess we will be above a bunch of teams by goal difference with a game in hand for a week or so. Smith in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 "With Champions League and Europa League group games arranged for October, November and December, there are no spare midweek dates for the Premier League to slot spare fixture into until the end of January." oof, we'll be one behind other clubs for a long time. Although being away to Man City, it's probably a right off anyway. At least by the time we do play, there's a good chance Man City may have a nightmare fixture congestion to handle.
