rendelc Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I’m hoping to get to Riga next March for a city break. I will take my Villa scarf. That’s about the only Villa related subject spending time in Europe next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did all of us fans. I didn't. I thought it was wildly ambitious given the upheaval. Fair play to Deano, he didn't shy away from it, but it was always going to take time to build up a head of steam. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big question if we have a manager to match that top 10. In my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of fans thought that a European challenge wasn't that realistic. Sure, that should be the ambition, but I'd have been content with midtable this season and obviously still will be with Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So where were we then. Ah yes, 3 points off Spurs and 4 points off Man. United. Would've taken that in August at this stage of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Consistency is key now. We need to be able to put 3/4/5 wins together. We also need to take some wins against the top teams like we did last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Stop it. I'd take 17th right now. We somehow just need to get through this season. Edited November 20, 2021 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Great win, but we are still nearer the bottom three than the top six and have a couple of tough games to come. My targets would be safety first (like Villalad21), then mid table, an FA Cup run (even a win!) and then almost as difficult as lifting that trophy for an 8th time, European qualification via our final league place. Mid-table would be progress for our new management team, we can hope for more, but we shouldn't start aiming for the stars and making that an expectation, just yet. That said, Europe would be nice..... Edited November 21, 2021 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 3 points behind 7th. 4 points behind 6th. Its definitely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Next 3 games though, Man City, Leicester, and Liverpool. If we can pick up a win or a couple of draws from that run, I'd be delighted. The last 2 victories have bough tus enough breathing room I think we'll stay clear of the botom 3 even if we lose all 3, but it's a very tough run and we're bound to drop a few places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hang on a second, we're above Leicester in the table? Let's have the bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Next few games will give us an idea whether we can make a serious push for Europe or whether we'll be heading for another midtable-ish season I think.
