PieFacE Posted April 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2013 For the first time in aaaaaaaaaaaages I actually feel like we can stay up after that result today. They are showing a lot of fight and if we can just keep it together at the back we've got enough going forward to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think Wolves and Blackburn can testify for that as well this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looking at the league table I get a nose bleed. Can't remember being so high up and we no longer have the worst goal difference thanks to shit Reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Our game against Fulham will show whether it is dramatic improvement or just playing against some very poor teams? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I haven't really been paying much attention to Stoke this season so I confess it took me by surprise how utterly woefully they are playing if today's game is anything to go by. Completely disorganised in defence (except I suppose they did manage to keep Benteke quiet for 89 minutes), no creativity in midfield and timid in front of goal. They must be quite a strong bet to end up in the bottom 3. Looking at their fixtures, there are no easy points except perhaps Norwich at home. They seem to have no confidence and no fight in the side and it's hard to see how that gets turned round. They must be at serious risk of sinking into relegation.

mikeyp102 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Did bbc predictor the other day was surprised that I gave us so many points.. Finished on 41... Starting to feel a bit optimistic now, be nice if Wigan lost tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think Wigan are safe anyway There are poorer teams based on current form than both us and them It will be either Stoke or Sunderland that go down imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 What gives me confidence is that since that dreadful Newcastle game in late January we've won pretty much every single one of our winnable games. West Ham, Reading and QPR were all games where we would need to pick up 3 points and we did. I only expected a point at Stoke and a defeat at Everton so to pick up three extra points in those two fixtures is a bonus as well. Since Newcastle we've only lost against Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyhell Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Still too close call any of us Norwich Newcastle Sunderland Wigan Stoke could go on a good or a bad run, we need at least 6 more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Sunderland will get something at Chelsea... Chelsea only bother when playing Villa all the rest of the time they try and **** us over another way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Stoke surprised me as well. Just toothless. Also I was gutted when they took shotton off my god he was like us playing with an extra man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2013 Our game against Fulham will show whether it is dramatic improvement or just playing against some very poor teams? It's an improvement regardless of what happens against Fulham. I'm not saying we're any good, but we weren't beating those poor teams earlier in the season.

samjp26 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I just did the BBC Predictor with us winning 4 out of 5, losing only to Man Utd and pulling a shock win over Chelsea along with beating Fulham, Sunderland and Norwich. We finished 10th.. one can wish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I get the feeling that the team that finishes 3rd from bottom might need 39/40 points. No chance. Sunderland won't pick up 8 more points from their remaining fixtures, which they'd need to do to hit 39 Chelsea (A)Newcastle (A)Everton (H)Villa (A)Stoke (H)Southampton (H)Spurs (A) 5 points and I'm being generous. Would of taken 4 points from the Stoke and Fulham games, so with 3 so far we can now get all 6, probably get 4 though now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
