Norwich City (H) DRAW
Manchester City (A) LOSE
Chelsea (H) LOSE
Stoke City (H) DRAW
Manchester United (A) DRAW
3 points.
Will Lambert get the metaphorical Caesar treatment?
-
Norwich - lose
Man City - lose
Chelsea - lose
Stoke - draw
Man Utd - lose
-
I think we'll win one of Norwich and Stoke but not both. I can't see us getting anything in the other 3. So I can see us getting 3 or 4 points leaving us on 31 or 32 points from 32 games and officially sweating!
-
Draw at Old Trafford? nurse, nurse
-
I'm not sure the Man City game will actually be in March... has it been rescheduled yet?
-

Ah. Good point. We'll still lose it, anyway.
-
I know there all important games now but norwich is a must must win looking at them fixtures.. Shit
-
Two points from the lot tops. The assassination of Caesar was the politically motivated murder of a great man (motto I came I saw I conquered) and a distinguished public speaker. Lambert will probably get more of a back street mugging, if he gets one at all.
-
Draw one with either Norwich or stoke and lose the other 4.
-
March is going to be bloody awful. He's made no progress in a year whatsoever. We are fucked.
-
The way our so called strikers have played in the last three games i can't see us scoring in March . May get a point against Stoke in a 0-0
-
2 draws and 3 defeats. Third bottom in April.
-
Ides of March is my birthday so come on find some form and get out of this bloody mess.
-
Mine is the 16th. I can't see it being blessed with a Villa win.

Can we all have some of your medication please ?
-
Bottom 3 by end of the month. In fairness last season the defensive side was to blame, this the strikers have had enough chances to win games and not done so. I would roll the dice and start Holt and Albrighton in a 442 next week. Must win. Absolutely must.
-
We'll play better in the harder games because people will not expect us to win, but have little to show for it. However, we'll do fine in April and May. That's my prediction.
-
If we get less than 6 points we will be in massive trouble.
-
We'll be fine as long as the chaps get it into the onion bag.

I want whatever your drinking Goldie :)
-
One point for me I'm afraid. Possibly against Norwich but more likely Stoke. The anguish begins.
-
I'm on track for my predictions on the 'Next 7 Games' thread - draw at Cardiff lose at Newcastle. I'll stick with my predictions on that thread:-
Norwich - Win
Man City - Lose by a cricket score whenever we get to play them
Chelsea - Lose
Stoke - Draw
Man U - Lose
4 points from those games and well in the shit
-
Oh Lee why did you have to start this thread, anyway here we go
Norwich Draw
Chelsea Lose
Stoke Win
Man Utd lose
-
A march of O'neillesque proportions .
Next week is the biggest game of the season - like Reading away and QPR at home last year .
Enough is enough - I said after stoke away we were sleepwalking toward the trap door .
Yet another incompetent transfer window hasn't changed that.
-
We'll lose to Norwich and sack Lambert.
The first game of McLeish's second spell will witness a defensive masterclass as we bravely hang on for a two-nil defeat against Chelsea.
Following McLeish's dismissal, Glenn Hoddle takes the reigns and sees Villa achieve wondrous possession stats against Stoke. We lose three-nil.
To end the month, David Moyes finally gets to witness a comfortable home win at Old Trafford, in his first game as Aston Villa manager.

Hello Championship...

Norwich Draw
Chelsea lose
Stoke Draw
Manure lose
2 points, Lambert still our manager and still keeps saying mumble mumble oh ay mumble mumble we go again.
-
Norwich Win
Chelsea Loose
Stoke Draw
Man U. Loose.
4 points
-
The Norwich game suddenly looks a bit dodgy, given their performance and result against Spurs, which kind of puts the whole thing in perspective - Worried about playing Norwich at VP, what the hell has happened to us??.......
-
Six points from Norwich and Stoke. It would be nice to keep Mourinho's barren run at Villa Park going and take a point off them, but they will be gearing up for the final run at the title you would imagine.
From an historical point of view, Caesar would have been looking forward to March. He was gearing up for his campaign against Parthia. Our own campaign on the Kalends plus one against the eastern reptiles may prove pivotal to how we feel come the ides.
-
Norwich and Stoke are the Reading and QPR games of last season's run in.
Six points from those two fixtures would go a long way towards securing our safety.
-
If we were playing Norwich away I'd fancy it more. At home I can barely see where the next point is coming from, let alone win.
I'd say we'd be lucky to come out with 2 points, but could easily see us having 0. I look at Stoke at home, and can only see them frustrating the life out of us and sneaking a win. It becomes too much of a battle of wits at home and Lambert comes up short most times. Certainly I think Hughes will easily have the ability to outwit Lambert tactically.
-
Like people have said, its the home games that worry me - they're against the teams we most need to beat, yet we seem least capable of doing so. If Fulham/Norwich/Stoke hold their nerve and sit deep and are hard to break down then it'll be really difficult for us to get anything.
It won't take many more points for us to stay up, but we're back in the situation we were 12 months ago where we absolutely have to win the 'winnable' games.

A cement mixer could outwit Lambert tactically.

I've got to say whilst the home form is obviously a massive concern, it has been since Lambert took over and way before that. The major worry is that our away form has completely fallen away now as well.

True...sadly.
-
Think March will be shit but we will win one of the Chelsea/Manc games. I fear a battering away to Man. City though, so Chelsea at home or Man U away.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to Stoke & Norwich but got 4 points from Man U & Chelsea.

I think that is a bit unfair
on the cement mixer.

Away from the Ides of March I have been checking stats, I do this to try and comfort myself when things feel desperate, after this post I may be the prat with the stats but here we go, last season with 11 games to go we were on 24 points but this season we have 28 so a better return, the first 8 games of 2013 following the December horror show got us 6 points (didnt realise it was that low) first 8 games of 2014 we have picked up 8 points again a better return, before the 10 games to go mark we lost at home to Man City so we were still stuck on 24 points after 28 games, then we clicked and won 5 drew 2 and only lost 3 of our final 10 games, im not saying we will repeat that late run of form but we will be going into it in a less desperate situation, as fans we are in a very bad place but this time last season we surely must have all been feeling a whole lot worse and yet turned things around, It will be close but we will do enough to survive, tin hat on and heading for cover.

You were sure we'd beat Cardiff and Barcodes >:(
Has Mourinho never won at VP in the league?
-
Aston Villa 4-3 Norwich.
Snodgrass scores 3 free kicks to put Norwich 3-0 up inside 4 minutes. With fifteen minutes remaining Grant Holt bundles in what seems like scant consolation but Nathan Redmond stabs home 3 own goals in injury time as his confusion over just who he grew up supporting gets the better of him.
Aston Villa 3-0 Chelsea.
Roman Abramovich forces Jose to conceded the game to spare him from being shot with another shit-eating grin from Sir Doug. Jose remembers his record at Villa Park and puts up a minor fuss but gets over it.
Aston Villa 1-0 Stoke City.
The rest of Charlie Adam's teeth fall out in the warm-up and Peter Crouch sprains his ankle on them. Both players miss out and Villa win a dull encounter.
Manchester United 0-8 Aston Villa.
United are now shit and, buoyed by a great recent run, Villa ease gently into them and then go to town. Agbonlahor gets 5, Albrighton 2 and Brad Guzan scores a penalty in the last minute.
What were we worried about?

We will have to get 6 points in those two games or we will be facing down the barrel.

We had the chances to win both games and probably should have beat them. Shouldda but didna.
No, Mourinho has never won at the home of football and long may that remain the same.
-
6 points and a 4 game unbeaten run.
-
So with 3 wins so far have we ended the our annual ritual slaughter in March?
-
Let's just hope April does not become the new March. We are long overdue a change in forunes at OT, WHL and whatever that council house stadium in Manchester is called!
Fancy us to win one of them at least- be great to win next week to go into those three games with maximum confidence and the minimum possible pressure.
-

I thought that was a MON (fitness related) thing.
-
I really think we'll get something out of the 3 games. Maybe not in all 3 but either two draws or a win and a draw.
-
Well I was 40 yesterday and Villa bagged a goal for every decade on Saturday and we seem to have ended our rotten form throughout March. Happy days!!

My dad was 60 on Saturday. We were thinking the same thing could be happening when we went 4 up at Halt-time.
