I actually think we could win every game between now and the end of the season and potentially not win the league. Such is the form of the top 3 atm.

VillaJ100 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, CVByrne said: If we don't sort out the defensive issues we could easily see us lose quite a few more games. Watkins scorching form is keeping us scoring more than the opposition. 4 wins and 3 draws should be enough for guaranteed top 5. That gets us 70 points If United lose today that means they need to win 9 or remaining 11 to get to 71 points Yep the 11 point gap is great as long as we keep ticking over, but we could go on a shit run of LDL with them getting 3 wins and suddenly it's just 3 points. We have some really, really hard games left to play. Bigger the gap the better. That were a point behind Leicester's total when they won the league at this stage shows what an anomaly season that was Edited March 3 by VillaJ100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 6 hours ago, Aston_Villan4 said: Obviously more to a game than one person but Wolves will be without Hwang so that should tilt the odds even more in our favor. We should be beating Wolves. I get the poor record but the VP games are always tight and the problem is we usually concede first to them. Get an early goal and I think we'd beat them as comfortably as Newcastle did. Cunha probably won't make our game either so they're very short of forwards now so won't be as menacing on the counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the odds are on that. I reckon if you went to the bookies and wrote down "Aston Villa to get relegated in 23/24" the cashier would look at you like you'd just voted for George Galloway and would probably price it as longer shot than Leicester winning the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 United are trash. They don’t deserve to be anywhere near us. In the coming weeks, I predict they’ll be fighting to stay 6th rather than thinking they’re still in a fight for 4th. In the unlikely event they are still in the CL race, they’ll have had a helluva lot of fortune. They’re just not that good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 We should be able to get 4 wins and 3 draws from the final 11 games. That's a collapse in form to 1.36 ppg We've home games against Wolves Brentford and Bournemouth where we'll be heavy favourites We've home games to Spurs Chelsea and Liverpool. So out of those 6 games we should be getting 3 wins at worst and a draw or two. Then away we've Brighton, Palace, West Ham we can definitely win one of those. Then anything from Arsenal or City away is a bonus. We take it game by game and get the wins we need. We need 4 wins if we can draw 2 or 3.

We are getting a points deduction though which will mean we are likely going to get relegated. This is due to the unknown rule that we breached, of daring to challenge the Sky6 and not just go away like they’d want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Noticed Tottenhams 2 last games are Burnley and Sheffield and they'll probably be gone by then. Although games before are Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and on form Newcastle. They'll be dropping points there, so we can certainly afford to lose some games and still have 4th in the bag.
