Lots of sideways passing - but for a supposedly eastablished prem team - they have won only 2 games ....easy to see why. They will be down there this season. That seems unfair to me. I thought they always looked dangerous. Maupay and Connelly were lively and in Webster and Dunk their central defense is strong. They will stay up! They were better than Everton and West Ham, when they came to Villa Park.

That through ball to Connolly was superb. It's the exact type of striker i want at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say 2 wins so far. Looking like you might win - isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may be feeling a bit like we did prior to the victories against Norwich and themselves to be honest - in the fact that their performances have merited more points than they actually have. They have lost away at Man City & Chelsea (no shock), lost to Southampton but played with 10 men for an hour and lost to us which even our gaffer said was harsh. The three draws they have had, they have been the better team, more chances, more possession ETC and have probably dropped 6 points in these games. I would envisage a league table finish between 12th -15th - similar to us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the sequence of the games but, those are 11 games until the new year. We'll have played 20 games after that. I'd say 6 of those are 6-pointers (including Wolves). Anything else would be bonus. Currently, 4 points from Dingles and Barcodes are important. But then there is a tough run after that. if we managed 6-9 points after we finish the Leicester game. then I think we've done a huge work to secure our place. Although there is one problem, which is playing most of our opponents away from home later in the season. So we need as much as we can now. Even only 4 wins would still see us on 23 after 20 games. In perfectly decent form to survive - even though that would mean a run of losses. 5 or 6 wins should be achievable, though there are bound to be shitty results along the way as well. Add maybe the odd draw here or there and it will hopefully be looking OK going into the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 One of the most important games of the season so far for us tonight and we aren't even playing. I have a dreaded sense of ominous foreboding that it's the kind of game that Arsnal often throw away, but a good chance for them to go third in the league and just a point behind Man City, so hopefully they turn up.

Nah Sheff United are a championship team that massively over achieved last season and have manage to continue it in to this season with hard work and team spirit. It won’t last and they’ll go down.

useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 They actually signed ten players in the summer spending quite a bit of money in the process, so they're not the same team as they were in the championship. Whenever I've seen them this season they've looked pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, anything more than 4-5 wins, then we should aim higher and try to continue our form. It would just give us the chance to show what we’re made of.

useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Many players in recent years who were poor for us, or judged to be poor by fans have gone to do well for other teams, you could probably make an half decent side made up of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yes, and Westwood and Veretout, and to a certain extent Gueye in terms of central midfielders, you could even say Jonathan Hogg as well, who most would have said he wasn't good enough for us, but he ended up playing in the premier league whilst we were in championship.
