Title: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: The Laughing Policeman on September 01, 2014, 01:16:44 PM: What do you think will happen in the following games? Not looking for scores just what the result will be.
Sept. 13 Liverpool (A)
Sept. 20 Arsenal (H)
Sept. 27 Chelsea (A)
Oct. 4 Man. City(H)

Me being the eternal optimist I reckon (in the order above) D.W.L.D.
So 5 points from a possible twelve. Which would put us on 12 points.

Post by: oldhill_avfc on September 01, 2014, 01:25:35 PM: We were awful last season and got 6 points from this lot and were robbed of 3 at Stamford Bridge.

Ought to be a comfortable 12 points this time around.

Post by: Ads on September 01, 2014, 01:28:38 PM: I can't see anything other than 12 points as our onslaught towards the title continues.

Post by: Richie on September 01, 2014, 01:44:34 PM: Realistically, a point against Arsenal and nothing in the other 3.

But then I wasn't expecting us to pick up 7 points out of the first 9, so who knows.

Post by: JUAN PABLO on September 01, 2014, 01:47:24 PM: Realistically one point against arse

Post by: AvFc4eVeR on September 01, 2014, 01:57:28 PM: Liverpool entertaining high scoring draw. Balotelli, Sturridge and Sterling for them, Gabby, Bent and Senderos for us.

Arsenal at home has 0-0 written all over it, our better defence v their poor attack etc.

Chelsea look like the best team so far and can score for fun, we might have Benteke back by then, so will say Costa 2-1 Benteke.

Man City are beatable and I think we can win this one, need to follow Stokes example and hit them on the break. 3-2 Villa.

5 points is a realistic target from these games IMO.

Post by: richard moore on September 01, 2014, 02:02:37 PM: I'd be unhappy with anything less than 10 points, I just think Chelsea might hold us to a draw if we have an off day and they are on top of their game

Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: andrew08 on September 01, 2014, 02:27:29 PM: Well we should lose all four, play well and lose by the odd goal in every game with their world class players making the difference in the key moments. A third game on MOTD type of scenario.

That said this being Villa we could sneak a win somewhere, get dubbed twice and scrape a draw so 4 points for me.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Smirker on September 01, 2014, 02:36:23 PM: Should be aiming for 6 realistically from those. Two wins two defeats. That wouldn't be a bad return.

Anything more than 6 would be excellent.

We will get 9, three wins and a loss.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: ozzjim on September 01, 2014, 02:53:58 PM: L D L D is my prediction, although Chelsea despite looking good against Everton were pedestrian the week before.

2 points, giving us 9 from 7.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: PeterWithesShin on September 01, 2014, 03:04:14 PM: We'll get at least 4 points. As it's Villa I have no idea which games they will come from, but nailed on for at least 4.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Goldie.7 on September 01, 2014, 03:24:46 PM: I never get these predictions bang on so i'll go

Liverpool (A) L
Arsenal (H) L
Chelsea (A) L
Man. City(H) L

Hoping for 6 but would be happy with 4.

Post by: ChicagoLion on September 01, 2014, 03:30:31 PM: 2 draws 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and Arse
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: London Villan on September 01, 2014, 07:12:34 PM: 2 or 3 points would be a decent haul from that lot.

Best make it four 0-0s. There's no chance we'll score 4 goals from those 4 games.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Chipsticks on September 01, 2014, 07:31:17 PM: We always do well at Anfield and I fancy us to not lose against Arsenal. I think we can write off Chelsea and Man City but I'm expecting 4 points from this run. If we're to be a top 10 side we need to win at least one of these.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Matt Collins on September 01, 2014, 11:05:07 PM: Can't see anything from the Chelsea and city games (though I didn't last year)

We've done well at anfield recently but even a draw would be a surprise

I can't remember the last time we beat arsenal at home. We often do well at the emirates

I wouldn't be too upset with two points. Four would be great. Anything more and we're halfway to being safe already!

Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Villa in Denmark on September 01, 2014, 11:20:18 PM: The fact that all of those teams will be happy to come and attack us will, ad with last season, actually play to our strengths.

4 to 6 points depending on how much good / bad luck we get.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: JD on September 02, 2014, 09:37:07 AM: We are Aston Villa, so anything and any combination of results can happen. We won't lose them all and we wont win them all, but apart from saying that I haven't a clue.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Toronto Villa on September 02, 2014, 09:42:24 AM: 5 points, D, W, D, L. I thinks that will be a pretty solid return from those games.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: dekko on September 02, 2014, 09:45:01 AM: 1 Win
1 Draw
1 Unlucky loss
1 absolute battering
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: taylorsworkrate on September 02, 2014, 09:48:29 AM: I'd happily take 2 points from the next 4 games
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: CJ on September 02, 2014, 09:51:03 AM: Can't see us getting much out of these games so I'm really glad we picked up 7 points from our first 3 games. If we could pick up another 3 that would be great but fear we'll just get maybe 1 - draw against the Arse, lose the other 3
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: paulcomben on September 02, 2014, 09:51:38 AM: Not a clue, except there will be some baffling refereeing decisions at critical moments to turn one or more of these matches for or against us.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: chrisw1 on September 02, 2014, 10:03:09 AM: We'll do well to get 2 or 3.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: jeowje on September 02, 2014, 10:16:58 AM: Think we are due a defeat at anfield and a win at home against arsenal. Could be in line for a point at chelsea, maybe lose v man city, so i think 4 points but hope for more certainly.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Lastfootstamper on September 02, 2014, 10:18:54 AM: To get something from the two home games would be a huge boost, not just to the points tally, but also to the morale of the supporters. I'd take 3 points, in the form of three draws as opposed to one win and three defeats. Just hope we come out the other side with our chins up, injury-free, and ready to get on with beating the sides we should be/need to.

Onwards and upwards.

*fingers and everything else crossed*
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Brend'Watkins on September 02, 2014, 10:20:39 AM: I think we'll get something at Anfield. Their central defence still looks suspect. A headed goal from a set piece from Senderos I can visualize.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: ozzjim on September 02, 2014, 01:01:41 PM: I would actually take 3 from the next 5 games if you include Spurs, who seem to have had a voodoo over us for a while now.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Witton Warrior on September 02, 2014, 04:58:40 PM: We haven't lost at Anfield for 3 seasons but we always expected a spanking - we have tiny bit of hope it will be 3-0 as usual I suppose - W

Arsenal - we deserve something against them - D

Chelsea - too big, strong and fast - L

Man City - too big, strong and fast - L
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Chris Smith on September 02, 2014, 05:10:15 PM: After signing a player two and half hours after the transfer window closed anything is possible, 13.5 points.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Damo70 on September 02, 2014, 06:25:39 PM: I can't say I fancy us against Chelsea or City, despite what happened last season. I think we could get something at Anfield and hopefully beat Arsenal.

Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: Gregorys Boy on September 02, 2014, 08:36:30 PM: 2-1 Defeat against Liverpool
0-0 Draw against Arsenal
2-0 Defeat to Chelsea
1-0 Win against City

Am actually looking forward to playing Everton the way they have started and we normally do alright at Goodison.

Post by: edgysatsuma89 on September 03, 2014, 07:41:37 PM: Liverpool to beat us 3-1
Us to beat arsenal 2-1
Us to lose to chelsea 2-0
Draw with city 1-1

I'll be happy with a single point though. Just no embarrassments please.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: silhillvilla on September 03, 2014, 08:17:02 PM: 5 points. No idea what permutation though.

Post by: Tony Erdington on September 04, 2014, 02:45:26 PM: I am certainly not thinking "oh shit" which up until our re birth I was thinking best not turn up and take the penalty from the FA, but now chances are we wont get two points from the games but this lot will dig in and try and as a football fan , thats good enough for me.

Im actually looking forward to 20th September and its some time since ive had that feeling.

Post by: ADVILLAFAN on September 04, 2014, 02:52:57 PM: Arsenal is the easiest fixture on paper, but we have an okay record away against Liverpool and also a good record against Moaninho. Plus strangely we've performed better against Citeh at Villa Park since they've become top dogs.

All said, I'm hoping for about 4 points from these fixtures.

Post by: silhillvilla on September 04, 2014, 06:45:49 PM: Of the top sides , only chavski appear to have instantly improved.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: tim on September 04, 2014, 06:49:46 PM: I would be happy with 4 points from these, any more would be good and if I'm honest, not a complete surprise.

Can't say where/how the 4 points will come in, as playing this lot is always a bit unpredictable, but it's often in our favour.
Title: Re: Your predictions for our next four games.
Post by: ciggiesnbeer on September 04, 2014, 08:32:34 PM: 0 points but a few battling close losses which will give us some confidence after these 4 games.
