That's a big, big drop from 7/1. We'll know a lot more next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been masters of f***ing up spectacularly from decent positions in matches or tables for last decade so that's why. I'm not hugely worried though. Would have to be some slump this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I really hope we can get close to safety come the next transfer window. say we are lucky to hit 35 by the transfer window, do you think we would then spend and get anyone else in at that point?

I honestly just wish we could draw a few games from time to time, just to steady the ship and keep the points tallying up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Last season after seven games we had 5 points meaning that over the last thirty-one games we picked up 30 points, if we were to match that form over the remaining thirty-one games of this season we would finish on 42 points, if were to add just a few more wins and a couple of draws we'd finish on 50 points, which perhaps should be the aim. To get relegated now, we'd basically have to be as bad as were last season but without the upturn in form that we showed in our final four games, doesn't seem likely but a loss at the weekend and a other results go aganist us and we could be just six points from safety, so have to keep going and not get complacen. Bournemouth took 23 points from their last thirty-one games, if we matched that we'd finish on 35 points again.

PaulC Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Not worried yet that we will be involved in another relegation struggle. Would be typical of us after winning the first 4 we go and loose the next 4 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF i don't think anyone is genuinely stressing...just cause the thread is still open and we're discussing relegation doesn't mean that people are overly concerned. i don't think that's what's happening. as others have said, we literally need to be worse than last season to be in any danger of going down. i do think it's good though to keep us on our toes...we're never safe until we get that 40 points and i think we'll all be relieved when that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Didn't we have 3 wins and a draw in our opening fixtures in one of Lamberts seasons? Think we went on to lose the next 8-9 games or something after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Im not worried about relegation. Our team is much better than last year. The only thing that worries me is the mental fragility. Some of the players- watkins, targett in partic, seem low on confidence at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen the last 55 years of Villa football starting in the mid sixties when we were really struggling and managing home crowds of between 12 and 14 thousand sadly for some on here 4 wins out of 6 is still not acceptable and can be used a a potential relegation threat. It might happen (I don’t think it will) but why raise it after 6 games. It’s almost like some ‘fans’ want us to be in a relegation scrap because that gives more opportunities to moan and slag the manager/ players off rather than be supportive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes people should listen to those with experience. If you have been watching the club since 1965 you have seen many up and downs. We're better than last season. We have made a good start. We are not going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is so inconsistent. How you can go from beating Liverpool 7-2 to being 4-0 down to Southampton is just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted November 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 Brighton and Burnley drawing is a poor result for both. They both need a win. Bottom 5 are in for a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
