Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore believes the club has the quality to stay up despite a disastrous run of form which sees them outside the drop zone by only 1 point.Villa’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolves on Saturday means they have only won one of their last six outings.But Collymore thinks the Villa Park side can find their way out of trouble with the firepower they have on offer.He told Sunday Exclusive: “I can’t see Villa going [down], I’m trying to take my claret and blue glasses off, I’m desperately trying to take them off but they should have enough quality, enough goals and enough ammunition to be able to stay up.“Villa fans are getting very edgy, very tetchy and rightly so because there is no such phrase as ‘too good to go down’, but, if you’ve got goals with Darren Bent, if Gerard Houllier goes 4-4-2 at Villa Park, you would imagine that we’re going to start picking up points, but it’s going to be mighty close.”Asked who he thought could go down, Collymore added: “I had Blackpool, Wigan and Wolves even as late as a week a go [to go down] but you know when you see in those glossy magazines they usually have a page that says hot or not, Villa and Blackpool are most definitely not hot at the moment. Wolves and West Ham are.“I’ve got a sneaking feeling [Birmingham and] Blackpool could get sucked into it but I’m not going to stick my neck out at this point.”
Surprising that there is a consensus that all of Wolves, West Ham and The Albion will stay up.
Why? Wolves and West Ham are in magnificent form (5th and 6th in the form table respectively) and have new players (O'Hara and Hitzelsperger respectively) doing the business for them. West Brom's form is poorer but still much better than ours and Uncle Woy seems to have turned things around since he came in.
