Mark Albrighton Posted November 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2021 I am probably wrong here and one of the stattos may have to point out where I’ve missed it, but I think no Villa manager has won his opening three matches in charge (league or cup, I think). Eric Houghton and John Gregory seem to have come the closest to doing so. I was going to say it would be rather nice if he achieved that, thinking we had Leicester next (which would be tricky enough). Just realised they’re the game after… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 In the vein of " Continuous improvement " expected. I'll be expecting nothing less than a 2 - 0 or 3 - 1 win against Man City. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moustache of Teale Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Ending Palace’s 7 game unbeaten run, and away from home too, is no mean feat. Hugely encouraging start from Gerrard. I’m slowly starting not to dread Saturdays again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Pep will play him, there is no need to after not playing recently and too much emotion to it. Pep might not see it worth the risk in case it fires our players up more and the crowd and he might have a stinker. No point risking him from Pep’s point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this sounds kind of silly but I think it’s sometimes good to play a team that is about to break record by not losing against us. Maybe it’s law of averages or something ?

Lerner's Driver Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Well, it's very un-Villalike to get a new manager bounce, but I guess if anyone was going to achieve it, it was probably going to be Gerrard. He couldn't have done more so far, but congratulations to the players as well, for responding in such a positive fashion. Very pleasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping it’s not a new manager bounce and this is here to stay. As I said I wouldn’t judge him if he started with losses or wins, it would be over a period of games. Thankfully it is wins and that’s what we have needed, hopefully we can continue with the improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounce or not, There’s a clear difference in the way we play , It’s just very unfortunate we play Man City next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
