Pilchard Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 If the lads dig in and fight so were not so easy to beat we can get 5 points from next 3 games Whoops thats wrong already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Lose our away form and we'll be lucky to scrape 17th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 We can't counter attack, we can't hold possession, our long ball game is poor and I haven't seen a through ball for a good few hours. This is not football its just hit it and hope the opposition makes a mistake or one of our team scores a long shot (that's how we won the last game at stoke).

Spoony Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I look down the table and at the moment I don't think there is any team that is worse than us. I'm not exaggerating or posting for effect, that's a genuine worry of mine. Edited December 21, 2013 by Spoony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think we'll stay up, just about, because there are some awful teams below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) 15th we're not great but over the course of the season, we're not worse than palace, sunderland, fulham or norwich. Edited December 21, 2013 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think we'll stay up, just about, because there are some awful teams below us. Are there though?? Pulis will keep Palace up, Fulham spanked us off the park, I think Sunderland tbf are probably screwed, West Ham, West Brom, Norwich and Cardiff are all better than us IMO and are certainly performing better. So I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) frankly I don't have a clue where we will finish but I do think we will get dragged into a survival scrap I have to say. All the "We have had a really tough start and are doing ok" comments however should now be put firmly to bed as our results against poor teams have been atrocious recently and as with the Anfield victory last season a couple of fluke results are the difference between us being in the bottom 3 or where we lie currently. What is alarming is that we have gotten just 4 points from games against West Ham, WBA, Fulham, Stoke, Sunderland & Hull recently and not beaten any of those teams which is scary. Our wins against Southampton, Arsenal and Man City are the only thing positive about this season so far but did we really deserve those wins? The Arsenal one I would argue we played really well but not the other two. Worrying ... very worrying.

AVTuco Posted December 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2013 Slipping back in form worryingly. 13th or 14th now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I fear that we could be in free fall without the likes of Benteke, Gabby and Vlaar in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I fear that we could be in free fall without the likes of Benteke, Gabby and Vlaar in the team. Vlaar and Gabby should (the latter definitely) be back for the Palace game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 10th. definitely a few points better as a side than last year for me, regardless of this temporary poor run of 3 defeats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record with him (including last season) is decent but our record without him is absolutely appalling beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Crystal Palace just lost 3-0 at home to Newcastle and they will go down. West Ham have been terrible for months and incredibly still aren't in the bottom 3. I actually think of the bottom 6 the team that have been playing best in recent weeks have been Sunderland but it's starting to look they're a bit far adrift. People are knee-jerking, I know we're not a bundle of joy to watch at the minute but believe it or not they are other teams in the league who also played poorly and lose on a regular basis. They are the teams below us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
