Also Wednesday comes to mind. Those are 4 which I could recall. I've checked and those were all daytime games (two of them were early kick offs which suggest we get worse the earlier we play). Our last defeat at home at night was against QPR on 13th March 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 31, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 Since that QPR defeat, we're unbeaten in sixteen night games at Villa Park. We've won ten of those games and drawn six. It's an incredible record. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the game against Leeds was a draw and away, the loss was in January when they scored a last minute winner 3-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Huge that Brighton don't lose tomorrow. Another winnable home game would pass West Ham by and keep them below us ahead of them playing Liverpool and Man. City away where Moyes will just try to keep the GD down.

useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As long as we win, then I don't think we can lose whatever happens in the the West Ham Brighton game, either way one of or two of our relegation rivals will have dropped points, and we will have gained on them. Hoping that us sending Watford back into the relegation places after working so hard to get out of them has affected their spirit as well, and Everton can get a win against them. I'ts about time we had weekend where most results go right for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Well West Ham have checked money at it. Watford brought in some moderately prices forwards to go with Pearson. We've been a bit hamstrung but maxed ourselves out on what we can spend. Brighton, Bournemouth eff all. Norwich couple of talented loans. I would very much like to stay up.

Actually even Everton and Southampton could get back to the race soon (although I doubt that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'ts about time we had weekend where most results go right for us. My viewpoint is that Brighton will do just enough like last season to stay up. West Ham will be denied a win in a very winnable home fixture which will really dent their confidence. Given they still have lots of tough away games they'll be banking on getting 3-4 wins from today, Watford, Burnley, Southampton and us which is home games they have left so not winning today will just ramp up the pressure for those. And they've got less points than Brighton so tough for them is tougher. The lower the points needed to stay up the better so I'd rather the teams on 23 points don't win today. One of those games is in our hands of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Murray starting today odd move considering how one paced West Ham are defending. Brighton-Watford next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 This is going right down to the wire, disappointing day for us, even a draw would have been an ok result. We're still in with a great chance of stopping up though, we just need to get behind the team as it could be the difference in the run in. Watford have lost to 10 men throwing away a 2 goal lead. West Ham have given away a 2 goal lead twice in one game. Both sides will be feeling a lot worse than us tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 An absolute miracle we are not in the bottom 3. Can we rely on teams being worse than us? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
