dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Why raise a thread that's over a year old? Interesting reading some of the comments and seeing the results on this thread. August 5th 2008 and the majority are not happy. I would hazard a guess that come August 31st of that year the result of such a poll would have been much different. A reason to express caution when judging this summers 'work' so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heystally! Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I know this thread is old, but I still don't understand how there are two options, one has 51%, the other has 48%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppy1987 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I am a Happy Villan. Great Club with great fans. I am slightly concerned with transfer activity, squad size and a few other things but I'm sure it will all come together for another exciting season.

The_Rev Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Im indifferent. I dont think we will do as well as we did last season, our squad is weaker, other sides have strengthened and we probably wont be as lucky with injuries this time round either. But im not going to cry about it, i accepted that we are also rans years ago. Second post in this thread. Almost a year to the day since I wrote it, and oddly, I feel exactly the same!

Losing our best player through injury... I'd hardly call that lucky. I agree with the rest though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I feel slightly different to how I did before. Still a happy Villa fan though, I've nothing to be unhappy about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 We don't have the quality for a top 4 finish. We need players to overachieve to do this. Anything above 8th will surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing our best player through injury... I'd hardly call that lucky. I agree with the rest though... I said I didnt think we would be as lucky with injuries as we were in 2007/08. With Bouma (which happened before my post) Carew and Laursen, I was right, not wrong. Im indifferent.

And you were proved wrong then eh? Again, I take issue. I was writing after 2007/08 where we finished in the also ran position of 6th. I was writing ahead of 2008/09 where we also finished in the also ran position of 6th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you clearly said we wouldn't do as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think this thread has shown when people said they can't see us doing well, that they need patience! the signings come in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I know its an old thread but I'll answer anyway. I don't think not happy is the best expression, maybe concerned would be a better way of describing it. We have lost two of our best players and a good squad player, the squad looks weaker than last year with the rumoured replacements not top quality, I am not convinced we can compete with the clubs around us and feel sure we will move backwards next season and will be lucky to finish in the top eight.

avfcgoodie Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 At the moment not happy, weve lost 3 players and signed one who can't play till December, wouldn't think weve got a small squad would you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si. Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Im content. I believe MON will bring in the players...he is just doing it his way, at his pace. Something some of us still have not got used to. There will be people moaning the same time next summer and the summer after that (asuming MON is still manager). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think people should be 70% for just where we are as a club compared to previous years, and then the other 30% can be decided on our current prediciment. I'm 90% happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Think this is his make or break season,can he transform from the shamble's that was the last three month's and take villa forward or is it more of the same. The player's that need to come in are the key and getting the best out of them, we need to be positive and the manager need's to be aggressive in the pursuit of this challenge.

Guest Ricardomeister Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I would say that I am probably towards the middle. At the end of last season I would be leaning slightly towards yes as think we did pretty well, but not hugely better than I would have expected. Now, I would be leaning slightly towards no given that we are 3 players down (including 2 of our best 3) plus we are currently the only team without a new signing for the first game of the new season. I think we have probably reached the peak of where MON (and probably Randy) will be able to take us. I cannot see us keeping a top 6 finish and think it is quite possible that we will be mid-table at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
