Still, no reason to doubt Deano can keep things going. We did ten in a row in promotion season! To be fair 3 of them finished bottom half last season and 1 of them is newly promoted. Add to that 3 of them are at home (if that counts for anything any more without fans being there) and I think before the season started we'd be looking to win at least a couple of them and maybe draw a couple too. But I take your point, no game is easy in this league. All of those teams have players that can hurt us. We lost to Southampton at home last season and only just beat Brighton, drew with W'Ham and narrowly lost to Arsenal. I don't see those games being easy. But we are a better side than last season and have just beaten two very good sides. In attack and defence we look so good right now. Predicting 10+ points from those games is optimistic, but not delusional or arrogant. If our players stay fit and firing I think we'll achieve that.

If we beat Leeds with a crocked Phillips after just beating Leicester, Liverpool with a crocked Vardy and Mane I’d be pretty worried over the coming week if I was Danny Ings. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Can't see us picking up 15 points from that lot. We'll lose a game sooner rather than later. I've gone for 6-8 points and would be delighted with anything more than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, despite the fact that he built it. So predictable to watch play out isn't it. Gotta develop new and innovative inflammatory techniques. Just enjoy the frustration that must be being felt at Aston Villa's and Smith's success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'd be amazed if we beat Southampton. We never beat them. I'm more confident of a win at Arsenal. The rest could go either way. 7 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rosk Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The good thing is that we've got Shakespeare. He's been there during a time when Leicester went on a run and kept their heads. I'm not saying we have any realistic chance of winning the bloody title let alone Top Four, but having a wise head around at this time should hopefully calm any jitters. A win against Leeds alone would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 9 points. Leeds- Win Southampton- draw (still improvement from last season) Arsenal- draw (of the better teams in league we match up to them quite well as last season's games showed) Brighton- draw (their play has been much better than results suggest so far). West Ham- Win. We'll be long overdue one by then. 21 points from first 9 so still rocking and rolling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Id take 8. That or anything more will easily keep us in the top 4. Edited October 21, 2020 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. if we can hit 18+ after 9 games you’re top four. beggars belief we could be over half way to safety before December hits us... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 We have a real chance to accelrrate our progress, which before the season started, everyone hoped would be incremental at best. Anything between 8-12 would be amazing, 15 is wankathon territory. Saying that, none of those games are bankers. Small club - 3 points Soton - draw Arse - draw Brighton - 3 points Spam - draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
