VillaJ100 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I agree absolutely vital. Given our track record of bottling the massive games let's break the habit of a lifetime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Big big game this one now.. 3 points and we are within 5 points of 2nd place, which I think would be pretty decent I certainly would have took that at the start of December!

JamesBCFC Posted January 1, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Great results for both of us in the other games. All set up for a draw tonight so neither side takes advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Great day and seems like a great result in the works. Hopefully it'll build confidence and kickstart a good long run. Edited January 1, 2018 by BG_Villa_Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never one to hide and you guys seem a decent bunch. Tonights result is a bit embarrassing, from what I read we went for it after going behind which I like, but perhaps a bit too much so. Currently out doing tech for a drama show so thats about all I can comment on the game. After this and Wolves I think 8 games in 30 days with 7 injured might have taken its toll, but thats a seperate issue. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you were lucky to only get thrashed 5- 0 , always felt that when injuries hit Bristol , sheff utd and Cardiff would be exposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Villa have a great chance of making this a very special season for me as a fan. There are a couple of gaffers at my place who support Walsall and Albion respectively and I am hoping for both to get relegated. Mainly because of their dislike and jealousy of Villa. Then there's Blues, who could also go down. What a great season if those three go down and Villa go up Also, there is a mad possibility that we could have three promotions and three relegations from the Midlands six this season with us, Wolves and Coventry getting promoted whilst Albion, Blues and Walsall get relegated. Surely that would be the first time in history for that to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 After the month we have had I can't believe we are 5 points off 2nd. Crazy. However, shows you how if we had a half decent month we would be right up there now. Still, we have a very good run of games coming up now so we really need to get as many wins as we can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a run of games till the end of the season where realistically we have nothing to be afraid of, and most importantly while other squads are taking hits ours is practically expanding and there is serious competition for places. This result feels like the mid-point in a promotion story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Sheffield United will probably get postponed. So we're looking at our next four as: Forest (A) Barnsley (H) Burton (H) SHA (H) Got to be looking at 10 points from that lot. That give us 54 points from 30 games and we'd be in a very strong position. Another 9 wins could be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was baffled by your tactical adjustment at half time, which seemed to involve plonking Flint up front as some kind of Gestede-type target man. I know he's tall, but he has none of the movement you would want from a forward player, and by effectively ceding any pressure on our defence, you allowed us to play the ball out from the back with time. Also seemed to move Reid further away from the goal, which didn't make much sense to me. I think we would have won no matter what tonight, we were just more on it, but Johnson's tactics were off IMO.

alreadyexists Posted January 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Being 5 points off second is great, we’re just past halfway in terms of games played and 5 points is more than possible for us to catch up on Derby with the rest of the season ahead. Come on Villa!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
