R.Bear Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 No need to panic just yet. Sunderland should get raped next week whereas we travel to out of form Stoke. It's frustrating that 3 wins in 6 games and we are still in the relegation zone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillakevBromsgrove Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 In the grand scheme of things this result does not hurt us, yes it would have been nice to get something but it aint the end of the world. the next two matches will show our destiny.

SquaddieVilla Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wigan will be safe, it is between us and Sunderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's one from Villa, Sunderland, Norwich or Stoke. Next game is massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's one from Villa, Sunderland, Norwich or Stoke. Next game is massive. I think inexperience will cost us. Sunderland, Norwich and Stoke all have experienced players.. might not be the most talented but most have probably been in a relegation scenario before.

DiegoD Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Plenty of points still up for grabs. Our game next week is much much more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I expected us to lose this but I was a bit unnerved by our dreadful second half performance. If we played like we did in the first half all game but still lost I'd probably say we'll stay up but I'm not so sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's going to go down to the Wigan game isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdog Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Shitty weekend but the bookies' odds still give us 61% chance of staying up which is much better than before these last 3 games. I don't think appointing Di Canio or whoever is going to keep Sunderland up. O'Neill's legacy is a squad of players who can't play any other way than his.

Kwan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The magic number is 3 folks. 3 wins and we're okay. I can see Sunderland. Then have to pull a result against Stoke, Norwich, or Fulham. I don't think we deal with stoke's physicality well so write that off. Then we HAVE to win against Wigan. It's going to come down to the last day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 No way are Wigan suddenly safe. We could so with 4 points from the next two games, that's for sure, but it's going to go right to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Stoke will be a tougher game than today. They all need a kick up the arse for today's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretonvilla Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thats it now. Done and dusted as far as I can see. Played like that for too long now to expect anything else to change . How on earth a premiership manager can expect survival without a couple of new experienced players is beyond me. No leaders still, and still making the same mistakes, and still only playing for half a match.Roll on the end of the season and finish this torture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Were done for IMO the way I see the last few games Reading - Poor Side - Villa Victory QPR - Poor side - Villa Victory Liverpool - Average Side - Villa loss Our next fixtures Stoke - Average Side Fulham - Average Side Our only only hope now is another side imploding - can see us ending on about 35 points And right now - I would take going to wigan away still in with a chance of staying up. Worrying thing today was that liverpool weren't great. Edited March 31, 2013 by smetrov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I don't think we will get relegated because a) Lerner would have no choice but to pump money in at January regardless if we were in with a chance of relegation. He's not stupid, relegation would not be in his plan, whatever it is. Lamberts too good c) Wehave Given, Vlaar and Bent, none of the teams in the relegation battle have anywhere near this quality in any of their individuals Oh how naive I was at the start of the season. Nonetheless, we can do it, come on boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartin82 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Too many over-reactions in here. Nothing has changed in my mind after todays performance. I expect nil points, we got nil points and if anything I will take comfort from the excellent half an hour we played today. I'm confident we will beat Stoke. They are exactly the sort of team we need to be playing next to get over this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Only 7 games left and you can discount the Utd and Chelsea games so we have 450 mins to save our PL status. I can't see us doing it . I can see us losing at stoke and then we are in a total pressure cooker with inexperienced players . Very very worried . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Worrying times. Do not want to be battling Wigan for survival. Should have got rid of Lambert when it would have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
