We could have been six points clear of Fulham today as well as a point behind Cardiff had we managed to get two wins last week. Yep a big time bottle job. I thought the 0-0 against Brentford and boro at home were bad. But these last two games have been poor. Very poor and has just waved the white flag for automatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I feel like i've been punched in the stomach. That fleeting moment of enjoying being a Villa fan again when we touched 2nd is replaced by the status quo of despair and worry. We need to find some form before the playoffs begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Cardiff game off is good for us. Let their games pile up and their small stretched squad get tired. We can put pressure on with wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I really don't know why people are even thinking about Cardiff. The hope has gone for me. For the first time in a long time I thought this team were going to be different and not to a typical Villa bottle job. Going into the playoffs by having a bad run to miss out on autos is the worst prep you can do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably matching our 7 game winning run. It also relies on Fulham not carrying on their form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 To have any chance Cardiff have to have a major, major collapse, like losing 4-5 in a row and us beating them, while we win every last game. Theoretically possible but so is a black hole swallowing earth at half 3 this afternoon. Not gonna happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I just don't want fulham in play offs. Boro are dangerous also. I think derby or cardiff we can beat over two legs. In a final its a lottery. But our experience could win that one as no other side will have as much experience as we have with our players of playing on the big stage.

We should not be fearing bloody QPR. They bottled it. It pains me to say it but Saturday confirmed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warnock is already unhappy that Derby away is going to be played on April 17th. Gives them a schedule of: Sheffield United away Wolves home Us away Norwich away Derby away Our only hope is they have a similar run as over xmas and lose four of them which is pretty unlikely. Even then I don't see us being good enough to capitalise. We blew it with QPR and I think we'll be inconsistant rest of the season. Good enough for play offs but don't think we'll even finish third.

Drew 1-1 with Fulham a few weeks ago, beat Bristol City 1-0, beat Cardiff 2-0 over xmas. Even in our good run that was always a game I thought we'd drop points in but expected to be QPR so mae worse by that result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Amazing how a little over a week ago, we were discussing one of our most impressive high points of the season, and within one week, Bruce manages to eviscerate all hope and good will. That is impressive. Even if we somehow fluke our way up, I want that man gone. Far too unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely we would get Cardiff or Fulham over 2 legs -unless we finish 6th . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
