ThunderPower_14 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's only really Fulham i'm worried about. Everyone else we can beat at our best. I'm happy for Fulham to keep winning at this stage, I don't think we can rein them in with 4 games to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is now we have basically everyone back, and Kodija is looking sharper by the week.....Imagine a starting front 4 of Kodija, Grealish, Snod and Adomah on that big wembley pitch. Brentford have comprehensively beaten us all 4 times we played them. It wasn't a one off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley - 105m x 69m Villa Park - 105m x 68m Not sure the extra 1m is going to make a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 7 hours ago, AntrimBlack said: From my last 2 sentences, Tro, you will see that I, far from throwing in the trowel, am still hopeful of promotion. I obviously cannot know what a different manager might have achieved, but I can only base my opinion on what I have seen of Bruce. You, of course, have an equally valid opposing opinion, and we really would not need this forum if we all agreed about everything. But, more importantly, Tro, managers come and go, and you and I, whoever that manager, will always love and support our Aston Villa. AB That is true. However,It is most unlikely that your opinion will ever change on Steve Bruce and whether we win, lose or draw it will remain.....its the same for many other fans, but I can assure you his name was ringing from the Holte End on Tuesday night We agree on very much, but like some other posters.....I do not agree that everything that I see as wrong in a match, is directly attributable to the manager....Much yes, ALL no. Despite my defending him, I think he is just ok......I rate him in some things like changing the poisonous atmosphere surrounding BMH, stopping the haemorrhaging of goals against when he arrived and other things not so much. In the main, I forget about him. like managers of the past.....I just comment on the team and the last game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The race for the play offs is really close and they all basically play each other over the next few weeks. Sheff Utd v Millwall at lunchtime Saturday and Boro v Bristol City at 3pm followed by the Fulham v Brentford game Saturday tea-time are all important games. Everyone from Derby in 4th down to Preston in 11th has a legitimate shot at the top 6 at this point. Down in Mid-Table, QPR, Leeds, Norwich and Ipswich have nothing to play for but pride and position at this point. Forest, Weds and Hull are unlikely to be dragged into the relegation picture but still need a win and a draw (or 2 in Forest's case) to be mathematically safe going in to the weekend. I have to admit (rather obviously) that I would love Norwich to take 3 points against Cardiff on Saturday though. After them Reading, SHA, Bolton and Barnsley look like they are trying to stay away from the last place in the bottom 3 as Sunderland and Burton look doomed to me. They both need to start and keep on winning though and it doesn't look very likely. Sunderland away at Reading and Barnsley host Bolton this weekend which both look pretty tasty. Burton host Derby while Wolves could clinch promotion (or even the title depending on the Fulham and Cardiff results on Saturday) at home to SHA with a win on Sunday. Safe to say I'd love to see Wolves clinch the title on Sunday then . Lets hope we can start the weekend with 3 points tomorrow to at least make it interesting. 2nd has to be the aim until it's mathematically impossible - as Bruce just said in the Leeds press conference. He also said if we had to go up through the play offs then lets do that then or words to that effect. Go Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 None have the top teams have beaten us at Villa Park. We can beat any one of them on our day, but we seem to be able the play **** a bit more readily than some of them. Its all down to application in my view....We can win the playoffs.

villa89 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) 2 wins in our last six games just shows you how badly we have choked. 2nd was there for the taking and we blew it. Oh well, let's hope we get our shit together for the playoffs. Edited April 12, 2018 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
