VillaAlex Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 They're a solid side but I do wonder how they'd score goals now if Jiminez got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can finish above them this season. Who will be the top Midland side. Leicester will be favourites. Leicester Wolves Villa Albion In that order. The only realistic alternative is that Wolves finish above Leicester. But I'd say the above is 90% certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gomez will be suffering with twisted blood for the next 12 months after the 7-2!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 4 clean sheets out of 7 is pretty solid from them especially this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It didn't take long for them to take to twitter with their pathetic Mind The Gap.....you would have thought with having played 2 games more they would have kept their powder dry....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have moved over to Shifnal from Moseley there are loads of them over here and quite a few Villa fans too. The older lads I speak to are fine mutual respect and you can talk footy for hours. We all agree its the younger fans that seem to get into arguments. I have pointed out to the younger that its only in the past 4 years that they changed from Utd to Wolves. Seems to shut them up. It was certainly never like this when they came up under Jack Hayward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I truly believe Nuno has hit the ceiling with them. Can't see him taking them further with that style of football. Think they will finish around 7th/8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows First one was key and changed their game plan but they are so boring to watch. Two counter attacking teams playing each other makes for a very dull match. its a good result for Leicester as these are the type of games they dont normally win.

First goal allowed Leicester to sit back and Wolves doesn't have the patterns of play against an established defence. Which is why they will never break into the top 4 under Nuno.
