We're playing them three days after the first leg of europa so that's the issue if that's a 3-4 hour away trip. Think they'll lose comfortably at Liverpool and Newcastle like we did so we'll have more opportunities during the run in to get a decent lead over them again imo.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 We need to be winning today regardless of Spurs results. It’s the bottom of the league team. But it’s also not the last game of the season so getting back in to 4th today means **** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So getting to 46 points after an indifferent run feels psychologically better than failing to beat the bottom club for second time in six weeks and then wins do feel really hard to come by.

Tomaszk Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The Newcastle result being put into perspective today. I fear for us if we don't win later. UTFVB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Newcastle, the worst in the league away, go to Villa (unbeaten at home in 17) and win comfortably. Then, as one of the best teams in the league at home, they play Luton and concede 4. Football is a very funny sport Edited February 3 by wishywashy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Fair play to Luton, batter Brighton in the week and hammering Newcastle at SJP. We'd never do that to them, haven't won there since 2005. Cursed ground for us and seems we struggle at home to them now too. We need to come out flying against Sheffield Utd and get back in that top 4.

There's not long left, but enough That's an area where we really lack I think, we don't seem to get many points from losing positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be another case of football being incredibly funny: we've been one of the best in the league when it comes to coming from behind, and Newcastle are one of the worst! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it might not become a recurring theme. Well it's about time we go to SJP and win next season then, been long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Think Luton will beat us tbh based on what I saw today. They are lightyears ahead of what they produced at VP in the final third now. Vital we get some wins in the next month. Need to look at the bigger picture. We remain 10 points clear of Newcastle and it could be 13 points clear in just over two hours. That's a team everyone would've been delighted to finish above in August, more so after the opening day mauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
