PieFacE Posted August 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2021 The new season is nearly here! Our first 5 games are: Watford (A) Newcastle (H) Brentford (H) Chelsea (A) Everton (H) So how many points we getting from that lot? Personally I think Watford - D Newcastle - W Brentford - W Chelsea - L Everton - D Total = 8 points 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellbergsBeard Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I would like 10, I believe 8 is the minimum we should expect, I don’t care which games they come from though,. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2021 Anything over 8 is a solid start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Squad will be a bit of a mess for the opening weeks, honestly no idea how we'll fare. I'm guessing 6 or 7 points sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 4 out of the 5 games are winnable. Newcastle and Brentford are must wins if we want to finish top 10 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I really do hate this question. Everytime we tend to expect a good number of points. We win the lowest. Heart says 11-15. Mind says I don’t have a clue. What makes it harder is the fact that a lot of new players, many missing players. How will we react after Jack.

Condimentalist Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Would like 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think if we start well and beat Watford we could end up with 10 points. Chelsea away is a tough game and Everton are never easy! I’d be disappointed if we don’t beat Newcastle and Brentford at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 10 optimistically. If we have players out injured, getting up to fitness, getting up to speed with the squad (which we do)... then to achieve the optimistic target would be amazing. With that in mind, I'll be happy with anything 8 or over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) We have to start strong this season so i reckon Watford =Win Newcastle=Win Brentford = Win Chelsea = Draw Everton = win so 13 for me is very doable remember all the teams will expect us to play like the villa of last season..which we will be a million miles away from tactically..we might shock some big hitters also Edited August 11, 2021 by OLDVILLAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Honestly I think around 6. 2 pre season friendlies missed Dean Smith isolating Bailey and Ings barely integrated. Sanson, Traore, Buendia and Watkins missed a lot with injury. Luiz late from Olympics Talk of new formations with Ings and Buendia. Lost best player 10 days before season. Its going to take a while to integrate this squad. Once we get going I'm sure we will solidify towards top 10, but we might need to be patient.

Its going to take a while to integrate this squad. Once we get going I'm sure we will solidify towards top 10, but we might need to be patient. These are all very valid points. I can see this season being a season of two halves like last year, but in reverse - poor first half, strong second half. That said, I think a lot of teams are in the same boat with a disrupted pre-season. It’s just a case of getting on a run as early as possible. In some ways it’s disappointing to have an ‘easier’ 3 fixtures to start as it’s a good opportunity to catch a few of the big teams cold with a lot of them not fielding their best players in the opening games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Really need 6-7 from our first 3 games if we are going to strongly challenge for Europe. I think we’ll beat Everton at home and 2 of the first 3. So 9 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
