Newly promoted team could start of fire or be rubbish but the middling teams of Everton and Palace. I’m ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Prepare well for Bournemouth and we should win, just need to ensure we don't underestimate them. I think we need a minimum of 10 from those opening 6 games to feel a positive season will be incoming. Three of the sides finished in the top 7 last season, but three of them finished bottom half and one is newly promoted. I think 10 points minimum is a fair expectation from that. If we add another 1-2 first team quality players which I think we will then maybe we'll get more but let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Horrible run in for us. Can see lots of dropped points there costing us any European places 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Four away games in October and 2 home games. Hows that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be going in to games against the likes of West Ham/Leicester knowing we're their equals and looking for 3 points, but that run of 4 games from the spammers to Leicester could have us looking over our shoulder after 7 games if we don't get some early wins.

Rodders Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Liverpool will have more internationals involved in the WC I guess, so that could help us on Boxing Day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way that 2 home games and 1 away games makes sense in September, January and March We all play the same set of games, and no team plays more than 2 games in a row either at home or away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 October looks like it will be a massive month for everyone and could determine if we are pushing for top 8 or not. Our fixtures that month are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Just noted this on the bbc site Big six all kept apart immediately before the World Cup as requested by Gareth Southgate. That's a bit weird no? Edited June 16, 2022 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I like the fixtures. Balanced, no horrible run of difficult games, always an appropriate game around the corner to end a bad streak, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
