Good read as usual. Didn't we take more than 4500 to Wigan and Blackburn a few years ago though?
-
I sincerely hope that isn't the side that will start at Shefff Wed.
-
Sheffield Wed are a good side and Di Matteo will be reluctant to try anything positive
He will play for the draw and be quite happy with that.
Dave has probably got it right.

Well said, especially the comments about defeatism. We will not improve until, one way or another, it is eradicated. It is the first question mark beside the tenure of RDM. I hope it is short lived but I have serious doubts.

Good read Dave.

Bang on about the Twitter thing. It can only end badly

Done.

I am excited, optimistic, pessimistic and scared. I have signed up for a season ticket and feel like I have signed up for some reality TV show. I believe I am going on what they call 'a journey' and I have no idea how it will end.

Agree totally about the defeatist attitude; players don't trust themselves let alone each other.
I'm not sure about the Championship being necessarily tight; as with all divisions, some seasons it might be, but other times the top 2 or 3 get away quite quickly.
Whilst panicking is never a good idea, thinking that we can bide our time and that we can catch up the front-runners if we start to struggle does not necessarily hold true. If you look back over the last few years, the promoted teams have been in the top few places from the off. Recently only Reading have bucked the trend in 2011-12 (16th place at the start of November).

How prophetic.

Fair assessment,
we need a Dennis Mortimer and a Peter With (LEADERS) Although if we cant get the 2016 versions of these Villa Greats, then ask the afore mentioned to play.

Not sure why people report on friendlies myself. Guess the most striking thing about this is it reinforces to me just how much crap we still have on our books. Bacuna I think can be good enough at this level if he applies himself better than he did at times in the PL. Westwood I don't see much in at all now.
