The_Rev Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We probably wont get as many points as we did last season (55, we are currently on 36 with 11 games to play) but I think we might actually finish higher. Football is weird. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 No point of losing hope. But again it’s good to be realistic. Taking it game by game is the only way to look at it properly. We only should look at West Ham away, then hopefully if we win that, it’s another story. We still play Spurs and Wolves as well, as much as they are hard games, but it could potentially be 6 pointers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to sound perverse, but ... I don't agree. I'm soooooooooooo used to feasting on banquets of disappointment with Villa, I can take any rot-pies this club can throw at me. So tonight, I'm going to luxuriate on a big vat of hot unreason, like a piggy at the trough. Mmmm. Mmmm. Europe, europe, europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Look so we are going to finish on 69 pts I think we can all agree that would be a nice outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sixth game is Leicester away and they could be above us by that point too. Big month coming up, if we can get through it with a respectable amount of points then I think the feelgood factor will carry us to the end of the season but we really will know whether it's Europe or mid table also rans by the middle of April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Tough run of games coming up, but as I said in the Leeds thread, for tonight at least you can feel happy that we are actually closer to Arsenal in 4th than we are to Leeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Where's that mug Villal*d, was he exposed as a Leeds fan? Condolences for tonight m8. At least your koch can finally recover, now Bielsa's f***d off back to ineffective, romantic, loser land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, but those are 3 of the worst teams in the league right there all in poor form apart from Newcastle second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being a clearing in the woods. I just looked at the table myself and it's hard not to kick yourself looking at the Newcastle/Watford results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can't see us finishing higher than 9th sadly - we have too much room to make up and Wolves aren't exactly in poor form. Can definitely finish top 10 at least though, which we haven't done for 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember the likes of @DCJonah pointing out that, under normal circumstances, our points total last season would have gotten us a higher place. Unlucky on Deano in a sense I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't give up on hunting them down. Will have to win at Molineux but could potentially get the gap down to 1 point if we win the spare game and similar fixture lists between now and the end given we both play Norwich at home and also have to both play Liverpool and Man. City in the run in. Does have the feel of the 3-2 game going to cost us though, we'll see. BTW we go and win at West Ham on Sunday and we'll be six behind them with the Burnley game in play and I've always had a hunch we could potentially hunt them down but think we'd need them to stay in europa for at least another round. Interested to see how much they rotate for that game. We'll likely have a stronger bench then them. Edited March 10, 2022 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Good to see some positivity with this thread. Sadly, I think we may have left it a bit late this season but next? Might herald a return to big European nights at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is weird. It was just due to the abnormal number of away wins for majority of teams in league with no crowds. That said we have six away wins now so can't be far off last seasons total with still a few winnable ones left. 55 points is still realistic, 4 points off Burnley, wins v Norwich and Palace and then we need three wins from the other games. With the form we're in I think we'll give Arsenal and Spurs far better games than we did at start of the season so can see us winning one of those.
