lexicon Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'll wait to see how the new signings fit in before really casting a judgement on this. I'm buoyed by the fact that we signed players in areas that we needed to strengthen, although I would've liked a new CB. The fitness of Ron Vlaar is of the utmost importance now.

LockStockVilla Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I think alot hinges on the FBs. Lowton has tailed off a bit, but he is definitely a quality player and I think he'll be okay. At LB, I hope Baker gets a good run out and stays injury free as that will allow us to persist with a more tradtional 442 or 4231. For some reason, I see us hitting a good patch soon similar to the one in November/early December and getting us to safety. I am typically optimistic, but right now I am even more so and don't know why. Starting with 3 points today.

skarroki Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 been out of it for a month now, so coming back and seeing we're out of both the cups, and only picked up a point, along with 2 players who are young and inexperienced in this division makes me massively nervous about this month and our survival. i think we're going down but i'm gonna stick by the team and hope for the best from here on in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Almost non existent. I try to trick myself into believing it will all work out and we have a massive summer window coming and it will be a whole other story next year. It`s getting harder and harder for each match that is going. I remember when a lot of people predicted that we would be relegated this season, something I saw as never happening. FFS, we are like a new wigan now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 We are going down. That is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Can't see how we're getting out of this mess. And considering our position, Lerner's sale of the browns and the improvement of tv money in the summer that January transfer window was an absolute disgrace.

briny_ear Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It's hard to be optimistic for this month. Maybe March will be better. Everton A, W Ham H, Arsenal A. We probably need 4 points just to keep up with the relegation race so 3 from the Hammers and a draw at Arsenal is the most we can hope for. Can't see us getting anything today. Doubt we will be out of the bottom 3 come the 1st of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 We have 2 terrible FB's in Lowton and Bennett & not much in reserve with Lichaj and Stevens. They are our Achilles heel and will funeral us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 My optimism is at rock bottom. We are the worst side in the league with one of the worst managers. We are not going to get out of this mess so I've accepted relegation really. Its a sad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeways Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Lowton & bennet are the worst ive ever seen at right and left back and it seems Lambert is sticking with them as starters, Bannan is the worst starting midfielder in the premier league, and weve got 2 unkown young new signings to add to the already inexperienced squad!!!! We will get hammered at Everton, i hate my life, Thanks the VILLA!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark8691 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Farewell Premier League. Randy has lost interest. We can only hope its not too long before he sells up (hopefully to someone with a fooking clue about football/basic business management). Just have to wait and see what happens and hope the club doesn't get lost in the wilderness...(for too long anyway!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Will get back to you after the Everton match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMac Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Think we'll get 4 points. A win against west ham and a draw in one of the other two games. We need at the VERY LEAST 2 points I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Think you're being a tad harsh on Lowton there. He's got something but he probably shouldn't be starting all the time just yet. We're going down, I have no optimism at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Low expectations this month. 3 points in Feb would give me hope. March is HUGE imo coz we need back to back wins against Reading & QPR. I can't remember back to back wins. I literally can't remember the last time it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Im pretty optimistc that this is the month i will finally get laid. 3 months is a bloody long time! Villa? Im resigned to the fact that the circus act will continue, and my life made a misery by the local heathens. Cheers Randy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This is the point of the season where I had expected us to really kick on and start climbing towards mid-table. Surprisingly enough I can't see that happening now. We have strengthened in the key area required DM (I have always thought our back-four needed protecting rather than replacing) but we certainly haven't been as active as I had anticipated at the early stages of the season. Will we go down? I'll get back to you at about 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 don't see where the next win is coming from and the odd point here and there is not going to save us. The team is playing like THEY don't know where the next win is coming from either as there is no form or mental strength to defy the drop....think its inevitable.
