Villa final position projected by Sporting Index

[villampls]

As of the evening of Saturday Sep 12 Sporting Index project Villa to get 38-39.5 points. That is the joint 2nd lowest (with Watford) of any team in the Premier League.
Norwich = 39.5 - 41
Bournemouth = 40 -41.5
Newcastle & WBA = 41 - 42.5
Stoke = 42 - 43.5
West Ham = 44 - 45.5
Leicester = 46.5 - 48

I think we will stay up as I believe our newer players will come good and I have faith in Tim. But looking at this objectively I can see why others have us as one of the favourites.
I would be very interested to hear from others, which points projections you think are wrong. I can see Leicester slipping and Bournemouth in the bottom 3.

Do they have time machine then?

What's that smell ??

Horseshit

I think we will have the same objective as shagging a mermaid and achieve a top half finish.

[Pete]

I'm expecting (or hoping for?) High forties, maybe in the fifties. I think it's certainly worth betting against us getting fewer than 40 points.

Hope our neighbours don't plan any more relegation parties. They've had to cancel the last five and lost their deposits. No wonder they haven't got a pot to piss in.

I agree with the OP. We just have to keep right on.

[PeterWithesShin]

We're only 34 wins away from being Champions. Piece of piss.

My prediction was 44 points and I see no reason to change it. The only small fear I have from the games we have played is injuries to key players. Referees are weak and getting weaker. We lost Crespo after twenty minutes of a "friendly" against Forest and we lost Adama to a barrage of sustained clogging in that jelly and blancmange game against Notts County. We have high profile highly skilled attack minded players who will need fair refereeing in the worsening culture of foul play being sanitised as "taking one for the team". See Dann's tackle on Aguero yesterday.

Might need to make a signing or two in the January window but I think we should be 'comfortable' by March/April. I think we will finish around 12th or 13th.

I admire eveyone's optimism, but surely having spent £50m+ in the transfer window , we should not be 13/8 third favourites for relegation with Betfair. we were about that price in February when Lambert was still in charge.  We seem to have signed someone in every position, but have not replaced Benteke with a decent signing.  It will be our lack of goals that sees us bottom 10.  Massive games coming up, and a win today at Leicester would be a good start on the road to improvement.

Two new posters, two plugs for bookies.

Our net spend was nearer £9m

We look like we have a fairly good squad now, and yet I can't see us not getting beat today at Leicester. I think it's way too early to make any kind of prediction because there has been such a turnover in players.
