Rugeley Villa Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 6 minutes ago, dn1982 said: If we play like last night most weeks we will get the crowds back. Bruce needs to start banging the promotion drum and get the fans believing. For the first time in ages I can't wait for Saturday. Last nights football in patches was quality and if we will need that to be for 90 min to win against other promotion hopefuls. Just to bring us all down to earth we haven't beaten any team that we shouldn't be beating yet. Win on Saturday and we will go in to October in a good position with 3 games that will show if this resurgence is for real. Definitely. Overall in terms of results we've not made a bad start, it was just those first few games and the fact we are not playing particularly well. I see no reason why it's a false dawn, although the test will come in October when we have some tough games. Surely we must go into saturdays game all guns blazing and put Bolton to the slaughter. Confidence among certain players will be very high and surely as a team we must now feel confident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty dullnfor most of this season and even most of Bruces reign so let's attack for 90 min and they won't handle us. When we score don't sit back go for the jugular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just as a very minor aside, as I've seen a few say we'll hopefully be in the top six after the weekend; there's a reasonable chance we won't be as Ipswich are playing Bristol City. They would have to draw and we would need to win to go ahead on goal difference. While the circus....er, I mean Sunderland are at Preston. Just may have to keep those those breaking the top six aspirations on ice just a little while longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making a specific observation, and pretty much agreed with the responses i received. Except your response which went off on a different tangent to the point i had made. Oh dear, maybe you misread my post? I was making the same point as a number of other responders. As I say, this is really not a substantive issue and is not worth discussing any further. Your interpretation of the statistics was wrong and a lot of people pointed that out. Can't you just accept you got it wrong and move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still expect to finish top 2, but i won't relax until we're firmly embedded in the top 2. I was firmly embedded in my missus once, then I relaxed and the rest is just a case of dejection and sorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting how the crowds grow if we thump Bolton and then beat Wovles. Will we see a big upturn if we are challenging at the very top with some good results in the bag? I realise this is a silly question are we will probably blow Bolton then get mauled by the dog heads. It's the Villa way. That or get it right and have the top tier of The Trinity open for Fulham in front of a near full house and then get thumped in a terrible display.

KSV Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 A draw against Wolves wont be a bad result.. Bolton should be 3 points. We then have a few tough games in October.. and we have November with alot of very winnable fixtures again. But one at a time. Lets take care of Bolton.. I dont want us to have one eye on the Wolves match and get done by Bolton. They have to win sometime this season.. make sure its not us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to accept we wont win all games ee will draw/lose a few. Even Newcastle and brighton did. But these slip ups after to be rare and if it happens we need to bounce back with wins. Hopefully we will see another good win for saturday. If we dont win all that hard work this week woukd have been for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, we hit our 10 week quota for slip ups in the first 4 weeks. We can't afford any more for a while yet. We're playing better, but we're still not where we need to be in the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
