Mantis Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The results around us aren't bothering me too much, because even if those other teams kept on losing, it wouldn't change the fact that we just can't grind out wins very often or even compete a lot of the time.

Yep quite possible that we'll get a point a game, a fraction above what we've managed so far and have enough points to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't done himself massive favours but he's had to struggle with some terrible players. Teams with squads that are just as weak have been able to get results against better teams though, and we've been mere minutes away from it on several occasions. That suggests to me an issue with Smith's tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we’re crap and will probably go down. But if someone said to me would you go in to March with staying up still in the clubs hands and a cup final I’d say yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine margins - but nearly taking points doesn't cut it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with this is the belief that every other shit team around us can hit that form but we can't None of us will hit form, a couple of us will get a result out of nowhere and then go back to being shit, villa just need 2 or 3 of them There is more than enough time, fans are giving up too easy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really strange feeling but guess that's the position we're in. I loved the semi and getting to the final is a great achievement. I just think by the end of tomorrow it will have been a crap weekend. Fair enough, and I’m not trying to tell anyone else how to support their team. I just think Villa ruin enough days without letting the anticipation be spoiled as well. Fingers crossed for a miracle tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We are the worst team in the league and the league table will shape up to show that in a few weeks in my opinion. Said it from Jan we should use that to prepare for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have it ready to copy and paste. Not wait until the end of the games or we played our game in hand but the second West Ham took a lead you commented. Sad! Ok.

jim Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We didn’t take our chance and now we are going to pay for it. Can’t see us Getty our the bottom 3 now and will fight not to finish bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn will be back soon and could make a massive difference. We will stay up. There I've said it!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Grim reading the result today. Doesnt change the fact that all the teams around were likely to pick up at least a few points between now and the end of the season and we will still need to get some results against teams we will be expected to lose against. Still in our hands, stil need to get better than we have been so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moose hates Villa for some reason, he's always negative about us. I'd love to beat them on the last day to send them down and see how smug he is then!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is when we play decent but lose we don't follow it up with a win, heck we don't even follow it up with a draw. I think being in relegation zone will impact the players psychologically. I think so too. They actually perform when their backs are to the wall. It almost like they need that kick up the arse every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
