turvontour Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We have a really good chance in our next 3 with Newcastle now listing key players out. Saying Almiron, Saint Max and Wilson all injured. Sheff U with key injuries too I believe. And Wolves lacking goals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could possibly pick up 9 points leading into the Spurs game we would be on very good footing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We have as good a chance as a few clubs to get top 4, better than most for European football. Like anyone we’ll need a little luck with injuries to help us, but we’re as well placed as anyone to give it a good shot. It’d be nice to have caught up with our games in hand before the end of March so we can see exactly where we stand going into the home straight, we always seem to have been a step behind this season. If we could get 6pts from our next 2 fixtures then it’s very much game on for top 4, especially with 4 fixtures against Everton and Spurs still to come. It’ll be vital to not lose ground to either of those two, we have Chelsea at VP to come as well. We could do with West Ham hitting some sticky form.

They are seriously going to struggle to score! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 No excuses not to beat Sheff Utd and Newcastle. Wolves might be tricky but huge opportunity for us here to get maximum points. Really hope Jack isnt out too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS was saying Jack might be out on training pitch end of the week so outside chance he might make Wolves game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not good enough to get into Europe, too inconsistent, two points from four games five games against Brighton, Burnley and Sheffield United is a woeful return for a team that supposedly has pretensions of challenging for the top seven. I can only think it must be mentality thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Forget about Europe. This team and manager is incapable in coming back from losing positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It was never really going to happen. We don't have the consistency to cement ourselves in that top 7. Losing our best player and a key part of the defence doesn't help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So as of right now even if we win our game in hand we won't be in the top 6. As i said earlier. We have to go on a similar run like we did at the start of the season to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 From where we were last season to even being in a shout of Europe is mental. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 This hasn't been likely at all for about 2 months. It's just a nice stress free nothing season. We're on the beach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Easily a defeat we'll look back at on in three months with loads of regret. Just make sure we finish top half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that One of the very rare stress free seasons we will have, give ourselves the platform to progress again next year Hopefully we beat the baggies, wolves and geordies again plus dick manu 8-0 but other than that just see it for what it is and enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Not going even going to glance at the league table until May. Can't bear getting your hopes up one week and then frustration the next. Edited March 3, 2021 by bose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Thing is, the Champions League is the only Euro competition worth being in and we were never gonna get that this season. The Europa League is such a long winded format, we'd have to start on like June and we don't have enough depth to have a tilt at it and maintain a decent League position. I'd rather not be in Europe at all than be in it and lose to some village team from Kazakhstan cos' we field a bunch of kids. It's now all about fending off any interest in Jack, adding 1 or 2 better players in certain areas and giving the top 4 a crack next season, which is still very hopeful and probably a pipe dream.

MaVilla Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Stats time. Our first 13 games returned an average PPG of 1.92 (ie: Champions League qualification form) Our last 12 games returned an average PPG of 1.16 (ie: a 44 point season and just avoiding a relegation scrap) If we continue the form over the last 12 games, at season end we will be on roughly 54 points. The massive discrepancies between our form in the first half of this season, versus the second half.....are striking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
