CI Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wigan are in good form at the minute 1 defeat in 8 games out of all the teams at the bottom id say they are the most likely to get out of it Wigan have a good coach/manager! Do they? Last time I looked it was that Spanish waiter clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Black_AVFC Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wigan are the ones below I am watching most closely. Yes they have 3 tough games coming up, but I believe they are the ones most likely to get out of it. They were adrift in January, but from nowhere they have sneaked up. They are going to do a last day houdini act again. Their last game is against a Wolves team who will already be relegated. I posted this the other day. Last season, Wigan were on 27 points and bottom with 9 games to go. Over those next 9 games they managed 15 points and finished on 42, sending SHA, Blackpool and West Ham down. People make the mistake of judging teams on how they have done up to this point. The reality is that they are fighting for their lives and they will always pull surprise results out of the hat. Not to mention, Martinez outwitted our leader at this stage last season. There is every chance that he will do it again. It is a surprise that QPR are down there given the strength of their squad. In saying that, they seem to click on Saturday and from what I have read, many fans are saying that was the best they have played all season. Bolton have improved, so have Blackburn. It will be interesting how they get on tonight against Man Utd. Apart from Wolves, it is not over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1874 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Its ok everyone, dont worry, I have us surviving by 2 points with QPR, as long as we win the Bolton game. Wolves, Wigan and Blackburn down. Panic over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 People are backing Villa to go down at 12/1, is that what's happening here? I am BOF. I fairly large some of money too. Id still rather they stay up of course, but I think those odds are massive. The league worried me but I was still confident wed stay up. Then (as I had been in and out all weekend and didnt pay much attention to footy) saw the players who were in the line up in the ratings thread last night and thought shit.... Weve got another few weeks of that. And even then, with a full team, we have been completely abysmal in a large part. I cannot for the life of me see where the next win is coming from. I believe Petrov leading the team, wed grab a win or 2 somewhere. Collins, Gabby and Ireland - not a chance. As proud as I am of the younger ones, its becoming clearer every week, that they are just not good enough. Certainly not yet for a relegation scrap, and certainly not with a manager who seems to accept defeat before a ball is kicked. Yep, I didnt believe it for a long time, but then he deemed it necessary to tell me himself at the emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2012 QPR's run-in will kill them. They've the toughest of us all. If all things were equal I'd expect them to survive. Thankfully things are not equal and I don't think they will. Which is kind of a shame because I like Tony Fernandes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy_Evergo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Next season could see the Blosers playing in the premier league and us in the championship. That is as stark as it gets and when they went down last season, I thought that was the last we'd see of them for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMilnereatsnails Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The problem we have is that Villa lack any fight, the oposition know if they get at us quickly and get an early goal our players will begin to hide as they have done so recently. If we could get the first goal against Stoke or Bolton there might be a different mentality but the painful truth is that we lack any creative spark that makes the difference, therefore we are easy pickings. This difficult run of games could not come at a worse time as confidence and moral will sink to new depths and our Management and Coaching staff do not have the time to turn the tide. Our young, depleated squad just cannot cope with the pressure of avoiding relegation and I unfortunatley fear the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 We have 8 games left, no matter who we are to play we will manage at least another 5 points and that will be enough to stay up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager I like v much and was gutted when he turned us down. Read somewhere that when he buys a player he gives them a period out of the team to allow them to settle in. Is it just me or has Shaun Maloney come into the team 'on fire' after a massive spell out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully things are not equal and I don't think they will. Which is kind of a shame because I like Tony Fernandes. And out of that tough run in they've just took 6 points from Arsenal & Liverpool, we got mauled at Arsenal and probably will get more of the same against Liverpool, QPR have players who can score goals and we don't, Gabby will never be prolific at all even in the championship next season he'll only manage about 10-12 goals tops, I got 20/1 six weeks ago on us going down as even back then I couldn't see us being good enough to survive.
