I think it's doable. We need 18 points, it's going to be tough but if Samatta (sp?) works out and we get another forward in that improves our front 3 then we've got every chance. Then a *normal* summer of investment and we should progress nicely, by normal I mean probably a similar spend but on 3 or 4 players rather than 15. Struggling to see three wins there tbh as much as it would be great. Miracle needed. We need to get Grealish into the middle of the pitch in front of the midfield 2 and I'll believe we've got a squeak. It's taken Smith a year to try change the formation, can't see him doing it again.

punkiller1981 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 To be fair we only have a transfer committee to blame. Average work in the summer was frustrating but 20 days into a transfer window when you don’t have a fit striker and nobody is in and the one guy you are after needs a work permit delaying things even further that is criminal. Watford will be the 5th game without a striker! Is any other team that much of a clown show. If we go down the blame is On Suso 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't like to predict which ones, but in front of a full house if we get at any of them and rouse the crowd we could win any of them. We're certainly a few points off being where I thought we could be and it's been mostly individual errors that have cost us, but 18 points is not beyond us by any means. Before Christmas last year there were a ton of Smith out and no-one believed the play offs were possible. The idea our season could be over if we don't beat Watford is ridiculous.

But 3 more home draws I'm not seeing. 6 on the road looks a big ask - we just can't see out games under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 People saying “miracle needed” . This is not 2016 we needed a miracle then....now we just need to string 3 or 4 wins in 16 games (and a few draws) Do we need to start praying yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 In fairness (i'm discounting city for obv reasons) our first 2 league games (both away) we have 4 out of 6 points. If we continue picking up points at that rate we'll finish top half. That's without a striker also. Infuriating that the top 6 can always be guaranteed to be on top form when they play us, yet gift 3 points to those around us. Need to forget about other teams and focus on ourselves. Just keep getting points! Excluding plop away, we can pick up points from every other game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 That's why Burnley aren't going down. Awful for 45 minutes yet they stay in a game and grind 3 points off a top team. We simply aren't capable of that until we prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 20 hours ago, useless said: I wouldn't be surprised to see Burnley beat Leicester tomorrow as well, Leicester form has dipped recently, have lost three of the last five and taken the same amount of points as us from the last six, Burnley can be a good team on their day as well, especially at home. Our relegation rivals aren't just going to lose every game between now and the end of the season at our convenience, per esempio Burnley were never going to remain on 24 points, like everyone else they will win, draw and lose games. We've just got to make sure we win our fair share of games, as our own results are the most important, starting with Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, although many are already writing it off due to Watford’s form. I sincerely hope the manager isn’t as defeatist as someone of our fans. We also need to try and pick up points against sone of the so called bigger teams as all our rivals seem to be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
