sidcow Posted June 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) You look at the teams in the Championship this year though, there is nothing whatsoever to fear. Wish to god we had 1 more year without going bankrupt because I think last years squad would walk this league.

Its a cliche i know, but you have to play them at some time or another and ultimately there are no easy games. After last seasons slip up, we as Villa fans should know that !!!

Rodders Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 OTOH, we won't be complacent like we did against QPR, Bolton, Norwich etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 So I'm guessing we have the worst schedule of all teams, along with having the worst injury record of all teams, no millions to spend and rocket polishers for ref's? Just like the fans of every other team in the Championship thinks about their team. Should be a fun season, when does it end? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get SHA away first usually in last weekend of October and then return game at VP is usually February or more often late April. Think we might have them at home in first half of the season this time. West Brom around xmas. There you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have they got against the game being played earlier in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think it's far too early, both fans would be far too pumped up on an opening day whereas one if not both will be in despair around November time. Better weather so more people out drinking before/after the game, maybe more police on holiday/annual leave in August aswell. I'm guessing at some of those reasons although imagine not that far from the reality. No other major derbies will be first fixture anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably know that by October/ November both sets of fans will have realised that neither of us are going to win the league, so we'll be less excitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of our 24 league meetings to date 7 of them have taken place then on 26/12/14 (a), 28/12/13 (h), 1/1/13 (a), 2/1/12 (h), 27/12/71 (a), 2/1/60 (a) & 26/12/36 (h). This will make it 8 in 26.

Unused Sub Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Looking at first glance, 5 midlands fixtures on the bounce seems harsh. Plus Millwall at home will be moved - we have an agreement with the church to not play Easter Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Very kind early fixtures, we can really build some momentum if our team isn't completely gutted. If Steve Bruce is still kept on, I hope he's learned from his mistakes last year, though I doubt he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 hoping we can get some stability in the club soon so that we can have a clearer picture of what state we'll be in going in to these first fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Looking at those fixtures you woukd like to think we would start better than this year. But with the current mess of the club who knows what the hell is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
