VillaJ100 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 hour ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: If I'm honest... Seeing the run in like that has only put more doubt in my mind. That's a pretty brutal run in for us given the circumstances The likes of Wolves, West Ham, Bournemouth, Brighton and recently Palace aren't walkovers either. O'Neill has had Wolves in particular quietly picking up points and climbing the table. If we play like we did today I can't see us picking up more than 8-9 points from that.

They drew against Everton and lost against Wolves. In reality, they are as random as we are. Yeah we’ve still got a decent chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) We just need to calm down. It’s still advantage to us with a lot of football left to be played. Angeball could easily see their goal difference take a battering in that tough run of games they have. There will be more ups and downs in this run in. I can see McGinn coming back from his suspension like a man possessed. Edited March 10 by KentVillan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get 5th. If I were to bet I'd bet on Spurs getting 4th and not us but don't know why you're so certain they're "not throwing away 4th" (how can they throw it away when they don't even have it yet?). The scoreline today doesn't really tell the full story and of course, we literally beat Spurs in their own ground a few months ago and could easily finish below them.

carlitobrigante Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We have been punching above our weight all season, we just aren't a top 4 side. Our first choice 11 when all fit and on form is close to being one, but as soon as we have to dig into the rest of the squad we become a mid table side. Our whole season hinged on Luiz and Kamara being available every game, and Watkins not getting injured I truly think we will finish 6th. And for me, although disappointing when thinking of what might have been, that's still progress and a brilliant season IMO. To be cemented in as a top 6 side in such a short span of time is amazing and we should be proud and happy with that. We desperately need another quality option in CM, and i don't know why we have neglected it and are buying 20m wide men from the championship, especially so if we are going to be really restricted in the summer due to FFP I'm still really positive, but we are a top half side, not a top 4 side, and we have a lot more work to do. If we had Mings, Kamara and Ramsey available for most of the season i think we would have pulled off the impossible. We just arent able to replace them. We had one player in the squad who Emery could have turned into a useful back up for Luiz and Kamara, and that's Sanson. I might be way off the mark, but i think Emery could have moulded him into something levels above our other midfield options after Kamara and Luiz My biggest disappointment is our mentality, every time we play under pressure or have what's deemed a must win game to take a step forward, we seemingly bottle it.

I mean, pretty sure many in the media were dismissing us as even top 4 contenders after we lost 5-1 to Newcastle on the opening day so not sure we're proving them right.

Brumstopdogs Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I think we could have got top four but the Kamara injury and then the loss of McGinn is too much for our squad to cope with. I don't think we'll get 4th but should obviously give it our best shot. If not then 5th place is possible and hopefully we set up to get the points we need.

Captain_Townsend Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We are still 4th tonight lads. Obviously we have ceded ground but we absolutely can still finish 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Not getting 4th after the season we've had will be incredibly hard to take. Not getting 5th will be an utter failure and a complete shambles. Both situations, as well achieving 4th are possoble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
