villa89 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think we should finish in the top two (as I think we'll spend again in January) but as this is Villa I voted for playoffs and subsequent playoff final heartbreak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think we will finish in the top 6 but depends on what business we do next transfer window because of the players missing for the AFCON. Wouldn't be surprised to see us win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strog Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Playoffs I think. With all the new blood it will take time for the team to gel plus we will have to cope with suspensions and injuries along the way, but fingers crossed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Play offs unless this team are psychopathically optimized and the they gel faster than the end product of a virgin f***. Make us proud Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted September 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2016 Top 10 for me because I've no idea if we'll be first, tenth or somewhere in-between but I'm fairly sure we won't be bottom-half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzavfc Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Top 10 I just can't trust this club to sustain any form anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Has to be a top six finish now, otherwise it would be considered a failure. This squad should be good enough. One or two more players in January and then push on to a strong finish. My only concern now is will the derbies hinder us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with the amount we've spent, we could have bought entire squads of teams who will finish 8th to 12th? Top 6 for me. Top 2 will be a bonus but we'll make the play offs-A new situation for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 At worst play offs but I think we will go up automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted above, my only concern now is whether local derby games will cost us, as these games can go either way? Hope we now have the stomach for them though with our new signings.

Even during the last few years of tripe we did well in derby games in comparison to other games. Let the other local mobs worry about facing us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I still expect our form to be a up and down for a bit given there is an entirely new team (which had to happen!). To succeed I think we need to go for the jugular in every game. It will mean more defeats probably but also more wins. Draws don't get you anywhere. i just want to see an exciting style of football with pace and a desire to score lots of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope you're right mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm already worried about the playoffs. I think it's likely where we'll be and don't think I could bear the stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues are only the same as Albion, bitter,twisted and inferior, who also raise their game against us. Every game will be similar to a derby this season, as teams look forward to playing us.

NoelVilla Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Think we end up in the playoffs or maybe even better. We will have some more bad results before everything comes together. Then it depends on how good we will be if we end up in the playoffs or automatic promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
