turvontour Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A really awful scenario for the end of the season would be that we put lots into the conference league, like we are doing, and continue to do. But we lose the final. We help to achieve the 5th place for CL, but miss out by a point or so and finish 6th. Very very unlikely. But would be annoying. Well I mean it's awful end in a relative sense. It's still a good season for Aston Villa overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how that's changed now. its pretty much even now but they have us as slight favourites to win today so if that doesn't happen it will likely revert to before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_ian_taylor Posted March 17 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17 15 hours ago, Jas10 said: Just thinking… if both Leon and Moussa are playing well (hoping the latter has restored confidence and can hit some sustained form)… to keep them in the side and in favoured positions (either side of Ollie, who is hopefully fine and continues to fire in the goals).. and try to tear through teams… amongst the best wingers or wide forwards in the league, on their day? Attack and hurt the opposition with a front 3 while keeping midfield stable and fairly defensive… I don’t know… None of us do. That's why we're pontificting on a forum and enjoying the ride rather than managing elite football teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 not looking great for a result today. Far too attacking a line up IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 5th has always been the likeliest finishing spot. Just need to hope Man United dont go on a run whilst we are losing games without a midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Pundits and commentary seemed to think this result means Spurs are back in the driving seat. Eh? I know they have the game in hand but I'd rather have the 3 points thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good weekend. We moved a point further ahead of Spurs with a +3 swing in GD in our favour from roughly equal difficult fixtures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Yep agreed, I think although we want to win every game. Given the suspensions, injuries and schedule that was a solid point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's a really good point that if we beat Wolves. Spurs have West Ham away in two games time. Based on how Vicario struggles on set pieces they'll really struggle to defend West Ham's corner and free kicks. Never seen Emi look so bad on corners as he did today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only want to win every game if there's still people on here you genuinely think we're still in a title race....bless 'em. Four more wins and we'll be very close to 4th now the GD has readjusted slightly in our favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Gained a point on spurs this weekend and no injuries or suspensions. Onto the internationals and come back ready for the challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
