I don't think the fixtures are too bad, in theory there are plenty of points there for us, especially at home after Chavski. Reality, who knows with us.

Aston Villa v Chelsea
Hull v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v Stoke
Newcastle v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v West Brom
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v Swansea
Man Utd v Aston Villa
Tottenham v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v QPR
Man City v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v Everton
Aston Villa v West Ham
Southampton v Aston Villa
Aston Villa v Burnley

3 wins out of the 6 after Chelsea and we'd virtually be there (don't mention the 2 wins in the last 19)

The way I see it unless something changes...or some kind of miracle happens:

Aston Villa v Chelsea - loss
Hull v Aston Villa - draw/win
Aston Villa v Stoke - loss
Newcastle v Aston Villa - loss
Aston Villa v West Brom - loss/draw
Sunderland v Aston Villa - loss
Aston Villa v Swansea - loss
Man Utd v Aston Villa - loss
Tottenham v Aston Villa - loss
Aston Villa v QPR - draw/win
Man City v Aston Villa - loss
Aston Villa v Everton - loss
Aston Villa v West Ham - loss/draw
Southampton v Aston Villa - loss
Aston Villa v Burnley - draw/win

...being realistic/optimistic that would give us 11 points and possibly relegated on 33 points.

thats almost identical to the results I guessed

Being as harsh and critical as possible, I have gone with;

Aston Villa v Chelsea - Loss
Hull v Aston Villa - Draw
Aston Villa v Stoke - Draw
Newcastle v Aston Villa - Loss
Aston Villa v West Brom - Win (this win could actually saves Lambert's job)
Sunderland v Aston Villa - Draw
Aston Villa v Swansea - Win
Man Utd v Aston Villa - Loss
Tottenham v Aston Villa - Loss
Aston Villa v QPR - Win
Man City v Aston Villa - Loss
Aston Villa v Everton - Draw
Aston Villa v West Ham - Draw
Southampton v Aston Villa - Loss
Aston Villa v Burnley - Win

That would give us 17 points, which is only 1.13 a game, so not exactly title form, leaving us on 39 points and more than likely enough, although it would go down to the final day.

4 wins and 5 draws with 6 defeats.

We've only scored 8 goals in 5 months ! Being realistic I can see 2 more wins and 3 draws
31 points and down .

If we can take anything from chavski that's a bonus , but, we really need to start delivering results vs hull, Stoke, WBA , Newcastle and Sunderland .
Where the hell is Ron, Swiss Phil, Cole ?

Agreed that the run in is not too bad post-this weekend.  But the trouble is we have even struggled against the other bottom teams this season so you can't take anything for granted with us, not least on the back of a 5-0 loss at the weekend.

I still think we will stay up but don't see us improving our league position from the last two years, and there need to be a change in the summer.

Gobby Cabbage has predicted us to stay up on the Beeb website today.

Bugger, we're doomed....

I reckon we have played 9 games so far against the other 7 teams at the bottom. Record is w3d3l3 so not so much struggling as average. We have 5 more fixtures against these teams, baggies, burnley, qpr at home plus Sunderland and hull away. I reckon we need 3 wins from these plus a couple of wins from our other 10 games. Not looking likely to me with the current form and player confidence but you have to hope.

My best friend is a Burnley fan, he comes to Villa Park fairly frequently and does have a soft spot for us.

Neither of us are comfortable with the final day's fixture.

I think the final day's fixture is irrelevant - we'll be down weeks before then.

It might not come to that. Southampton might want to start getting worried about their cross bar again!

I know it was Chelsea but it's still another defeat. Last season we scrambled an unlikely win, that's not in our locker this year. It looks ominous.

Did the predictor thing as optimistically and realistically as I could. We go down in 18th position. Hull stayed up in 17th with 29 points but a better goal difference.
