Remaining games

[Rotterdam]

with the simply absurd number of injuries we won't go unbeaten in my opinion. But even so, a very decent points haul will only serve to frustrate us more revealing what could have been possible this season from a very average league. The rest of this season is all about setting us for the next and ensuring we make no mistakes in our attempts to get back up.

We're going to finish seventh and miss out by s single point.

[SoccerHQ]

If things had gone to plan and these fixtures were the promotion run-in, I think that we'd be quite confident

If we had 10 more points on the board (so 58 points) I'd massively fancy us to finish in the top 6 with our run in. But we're not so there we are.

Would expect at least another 4 wins this season, hopefully some away.

64 points and 9th or 10th I reckon.

It would be amazing if not impossible to win our remaining 9 games, unfortunately this year 75 points probably wouldn't be enough to get us up anyway . As has already been written on here how the F#*k did we contrive to lose against Brentford, Forest, Ipswich and Barnsley in quick succession ? Aaaaagh !

I know a win makes us feel like we could win the league and a defeat certain relegation but the last few games, even Huddersfield apart from one moment of falling asleep, has allowed us to get a head of steam to go into the final part of the season.

With 9 games left I could really see us getting a minimum of 20 - 24 points

Wigan        W
Norwich     W
QPR           W
Burton       W
Reading     W
Fulham      L
Blues      W
Blackburn  W
Brighton    W (as I think they will be already promoted)

Fucking hell, have we turned into Barcelona?

[Chris Jameson]

If we lose to Fulham I want Bruce out.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Reading Fulham and Brighton are all hard games. The rest we should be expecting to win.

We've beaten 2 and the other we should have.  More difficult fixtures on paper but still winnable.

Don't get me wrong, I think Villa should win against those teams too. Just that we can't rock up expecting to beat them.

15-16 points

These threads are a jinx. I felt confident that we would finish in style and end up eighth or ninth with swashbuckling football convincing Villa fans to buy season tickets in record-breaking numbers.

Now this thread has come along we will lose every game. Twelve-nil. Relegated on last day of season.

even Mr Pessimism of Pessimism wouldn't be that pessimistic.

I reckon it'll be worse than that. We will field nine ineligible players and suffer a pitch invasion in which Tony Xia knocks out the ref with a solid gold figurine of Sid Cowans, and as punishment the FA will send us back in time to relive the 2015-2016 season.

I still do not want to make the playoffs this season

It's your lucky year then sport.
