blandy Posted December 31, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2012 Anybody saying we won't go down, on current evidence, is just showing blind faith... Before our trio of disasters, I could agree that there was evidence to support both 'up' and 'down' predictions...but, we've just conceded 15 awful goals, most of which were our own creation or our own idiotic defending, and we've just list 0-3 at HOME That's completely fair comment. It does look, on the evidence of recent performances that we're in deep trouble. Lambert said as much himself, and he's the manager. We are in, and will remain in the relegation scrap, because clearly, the side has not been and is not currently good enough not to be. The league table doesn't lie. Heads in the sand or heads out the sand time guys and girls, it's your choice, but if you choose to bury your head, don't try and make out like the people being realistic [are] crazy or bad fans...we're just making an informed prediction looking at the facts, not the belief that things can change... This is not quite right. No one can tell the future. Some think things will carry on as they are, some that they will improve, some that it will get even worse. It's not about good or bad fans, or crazy or sane. It's opinion about what will happen in the future. There are good arguments for any particular view, at the moment. Recent defeats = big trouble v Injury recovery and signings = we'll be OK, v inexperience and continuing injury and cost cutting = it'll get worse. It's possible to make a case for almost any outcome, really. It's just opinion, and all have merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Three 1 nil defeats and people wouldn't feel half as bad , we'd still have the same points total mind Perhaps not. And perhaps the players self confidence would still be intact. The players now have zero belief zero confidence and are full of self doubt. Our manager looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Their heads have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yes and these things can change. I certainly hope so starting tomorrow. We are currently a national laughing stock so the last thing we need is another drubbing. Would be over the moon with an ugly 0-0 or 1-1. A win would be sensational.

Wainy316 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Football really is 90% psychological and 10% ability. This is not a reflection of out players ability but that Chelsea drubbing well and truly fooked them up. Look at some of the football we played at Norwich and Liverpool the previous week. The only way to get out of this rut is to scrape a result and then the confidence will slowly return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Football really is 90% psychological and 10% ability. Bit mad saying that Wainy? Mental and Physical abilities are completely different and you need the right balance of both strengths. If the 90-10% was true I should have been a villa legend because in my head i was a fuking brilliant footballer when I got on the pitch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My psychiatrist was always telling me what a brilliant full back I was. I never believed him. Had I known what I know now I could have been a legend!

jayEm Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Even though we only managed a point today, I feel more optimistic about this season. These cup games could be a good chance for the team to regain confidence going into the Southampton match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
