Everything has gone against us these last few games. We need to rally around them. Grow some **** balls and let’s **** do this thing. I think this mentality was evident in VP at the weekend. Absolutely rocking it was for the first time in a while. MORE!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think some people are deluding themselves. An end of season collapse is every bit as likely as us holding some kind of form to stay in top 6. In fact any time the club has been challenging for the top 4 it has always ending in a collapse. It seems unlikely this season will be any different.

Popular Post Captain_Townsend Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 The club has been dealt a tough hand. Really brutal actually. The players and manager cannot be faulted and we need to stick with them. We can still get 7 or 8 wins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost 3 league games in the last 13 to two teams that finished in last seasons top 4. 5 of our 6 league losses came from teams that were in last seasons top 5 A lot of bed wetting at the moment 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s as likely then it’s not being deluded. We have lost one key player but key players are coming back. spurs could collapse, hence why the term spursy. Arsenal are known for collapsing. Man U have a crisis every month so are due a new one…we could collapse, we could remain on 2ppg or we could go on a run…no point thinking we are definitely going to collapse when the only thing you’re basing that on is losing Kamara, that’s just being extremely pessimistic for the sake of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I've got issues myself, but the absolute despair and doom from some allude to them having external problems football can't fix. Also have to wonder if some people actually get any joy whatsoever from following the club.

ferguson1 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Could go either way but very much hoping that recent results and injuries actually galvanise the squad. Let’s prove the media doubters wrong and show there is no sign of a major off in results or even a collapse. We can still finish fourth or fifth and have a good go at the conference league.

We are 5th and at least one poster is refusing to go anymore games this season as its too much.

Mister_a Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 11 hours ago, Hank Scorpio said: Do you not think Kamara being out the rest if the season will not make the defense worse? I think he's been quite sloppy the last few defeats, with some misplaced passes, but yes he is a big loss. I do think hope that Unai can figure out how to get the high line to work with who he has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just looking at some of the teams that have been challenging for the Champions League in recent years Leicester 19/20 - 3 wins in the last 13 games. After 25 games 12 points clear of 5th. (COVID break wasn't helpful granted) Leicester 20/21 - 4 wins in the last 13 games. After 25 games 6 points clear of 5th Spurs 22/23 - 4 wins in the last 13 games. After 25 games 4 points clear of 5th (granted Newcastle had 2 games in hand) Looking at probably our closest season under MON to qualify for the Champions League 08/09 - 2 wins in the last 13 games (Went 9 games without a win). After 25 games 7 points clear of 5th. I picked game week 25 to start from because that is what the league table is going to be up to after this weekend but as you can see those teams had poor end of the seasons which is why they missed out. If Villa were to have similar last 13 games this season then we don't deserve to finish in the Champions League places however I'm pretty confident Emery won't have us go on a run that bad. Kamara/Konsa injuries have been deflating but we are still in a healthy position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs we’re a complete shambles last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
