VillaChris Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Is the new CB they signed rated in France? I assume he'll make his debut v us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted September 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2022 My City buzz has almost worn off. Our paltry 4 points again look like crumbs left on the breakfast table. We need to start winning some games soon before we’re screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Apparently if you get 8 points from your first 5 games you have a 96% chance of staying up. So if we’re currently at threat of relegation then you could argue that is the case for teams up to 11. I prefer to wait until 10 games or so before really worrying. Last season we looked in a scrap after 14 games but then after a few wins we looked like chasing Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Could we get relegated? With the players we have you would have to be a pretty crap manager to do that....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as mentioned in other threads a relegation battle is not good enough for this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our paltry 4 points again look like crumbs left on the breakfast table. We need to start winning some games soon before we’re screwed. Two wins from the next two and we're looking pretty rosy again though. And the post two week break run of games is Leeds, Forest, Chelsea (not exactly great atm), Fulham, Brentford. Optimistic, I know, but not impossible to pick up decent points from that lot if we suddenly found form. The Leicester game is monumentally important to continue moment off the back of the City game. Lose, and squad morale is back to gutter-tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't drawn many the last few seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2022 Other than Bournemouh (who still beat us lol), I struggle to think of a team that play worse football than us. We are absolutely at risk of being relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatecrasha Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 With the current manager- we will struggle to get 34 points this season- that's relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Forest and we'll be top ten. 9 games is basically a quarter of the season, so the maths is not too hard: -if we lose and we're on 8, that would put us on target for 33 or so (allowing for 9 not being exactly 25% of 38) - 33 is relegation form. -if we draw and we're on 9, that would put us on target for 37 or so and that would probably be enough for 16th or 17th. -if we win and we're on 11, that would put us on target for 45 or so and that would be towards the top of the bottom half of the table Of course these figures are false - Leicester aren't going to finish the season with 4 points or whatever - but they do give a rough guide. Forest is also one of the easier fixtures this season, though we are away of course, but we could do with not losing. The big picture is that with 2 draws already, 10 or 11 wins will be enough to stay up. The question is whether Gerrard can get us to that target. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbluesky Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Looking at the table, I think we could definitely get dragged into a relegation battle. A lot of the teams below us, Leicester, West ham, Palace even Wolves, have some decent players and are out of form, but could easily drive up the table. Wolves changed manager, West ham and leciester just won, Palace have been a bit unlucky I'd argue. Forest are woeful and Bournemouth will probs fall down, but the way we're playing, I think we could be in contention for that third spot. Not that we should be mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we have had quite an easy run compared to other teams around us, we still have to play 4 of the big 6 before the half way point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
