sidcow Posted January 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2020 Today we have shown we can go away to a top team in a huge game and get a result. Need to take this forwards now into the league and start winning points against teams higher than us in the table. We need to keep this formation, we look so much more solid and will help us to wins against lesser teams and snatched draws against better teams. A better striker and someone better than Luiz/Nakamba in the middle and hopefully someone better than Trezeguet out wide and we could really push on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Only went back 10 years or so but couldn’t see a team on 21 points after 21 games get relegated. I wonder if it’s ever happened since it became 20 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Unless Watford and Bournemouth draw or we somehow get result against City will be in relegation zone this weekend. Are people going to lose their minds over this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people going to lose their minds over this? Not me, Ive seen enough from the formation change and with any luck a useful signing or two and I fully believe we can do this. The city game won't be the defining marker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’s ever happened since it became 20 teams. Was any team just 1 point from safety on 21 points after 21 games? It's an odd season with the top teams losing left right and center other than plop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’s ever happened since it became 20 teams. Have a look at 10/11, I think Blackpool had about 25 points at this stage of the season, maybe more. SHA could well be another. Here's actually the table http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9331248.stm We were actually on same number of points as then and Darren Bent signed 10 days later. Similar points totals to this season and Blackpool went down on 39 points in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlico_Villa Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Most painful thing about relegation this time round is that it will be despite us putting the effort in and trying to avoid it. Last time, we were just waiting for it, which cushioned it. Going down after a battle won’t feel good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
