Zatman Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 3 minutes ago, andym said: The amount of chances we are creating against the top sides is ridiculous. Keep taking them, and sort out the keeper issue, and we can move up the table quickly Boring taking digs at Bruce but this was obvious for few seasons. We have best attacking squad in division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 If results go against us, which given the fixtures could quite feasibly happen, we could be in ninth spot by the end of tomorrow, four points off the playoffs and 10 points off automatics. On paper, tonight was a decent result, but 2-1 up going into added time we should be seeing out the game. Could be very costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I agree with top 2 being the aim, but it's not looking realistic at the moment. Leeds win tomorrow and we are 10 points behind 2nd. That's too big of a gap. I just can't see them starting losing games all of a sudden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Im convinced we'll be top 2. We should have taken 6 from Forest and WBA. As the season wears on we'll be nore ruthless I think and take what we deserve more often. We were robbed tonight. No other way of saying it. Wont happen every week. We'll chase them down. We'll definitely finish above the Baggies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need them to drop some points to put on pressure. Them and Norwich. i can’t believe how bad our start to the season was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i've been saying all these weeks lol. I hate the fact that i'm proving myself right, absolutely hate it and if we had Smith from the start of the season we would be finishing top 2, no doubt, but we didn't. That said, i'm feeling very confident with this Villa team in play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjay Posted December 7, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2018 Was impressed tonight, fair play, thought you attacked really well and defended better then you had before. Had the chances to win. Robbed by a hand ball but got lucky with your 1st, swings in roundabouts. But please stop wishing defeats on us, heartless barstewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah It’s frustrating when a point at the third place team feels like a defeat and sets us back. It’s relentless for the team at the moment. They have to play 6 of the top 9 teams in a row including back to back games with 3rd, 4th and 5th place. Respite against an improving Stoke team which is still a tough game and then up against second place Leeds. Ive said before keep within 10 points of top 2 by January and automatic promotion is still on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed Posted December 7, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2018 Been out tonight so can’t comment on performance on either team but If you’d asked me what result I wanted it would have been a draw great chance on for Leeds to 6 clear of West Brom & 10 of Villa. it would be typical of Leeds not to win tomorrow but if we did & Bolton next up with yourselves playing stoke & Swansea not the easiest when on their day I they could turn up. I’m hoping we get maximum points. We do have a couple of hard games with forest & derby at the turn of the year & yourselves just before Xmas but hopefully we can afford to take a point or loss here & there by then. I wouldn’t fancy your February & March though we you having to play sheff united, Birmingham, boro, derby, stoke. & West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 We're so great though aren't we. After we get rid of that keeper, get a proper left back and CB cover... How many games after Jan 1st? 18? Stick 54 points onto our tally right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'd say another 58 points out of the next 75 on offer would secure automatic promotion. Doesn't sound that bad does it? We'd need just above 2ppg which I imagine we'd manage comfortably in the form we're in. How many teams are beating us? We dropped 4 points to Forest and West Brom under freak conditions. We won't drop too many points I'd imagine as we tighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap is too big. It's not like we wont drop anymore points as well cause we will. We should now focus on getting inside the top 6 and then take it from there.

So we could be come stronger come January I dont disagree but at start of season you were blowing teams away and since then has been narrow victories. Was it Reading and Sheff United you got away with it. But sure you make your own luck in this division. Its just I am not afraid of Leeds and you guys are probably not afraid of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
