Are we safe now?

[ez]

Time is on our side, thats the main thing now.

[Brian Taylor]

This is not relevant.. we are still dependant on points lost by shite teams and we should not be associated with them; simple. Depending on others to lose is not the way it should be!
Still we will see the posts about survival..Villa are not a survival club..we ought to be challenging for Europe..minimum!

We're not depending on other clubs though.

I think Brian was responding to the suggestion that we are fine now (even if we don't win any of our 3 remaining games). In that circumstance we are relying on other clubs results going our way.

Precisely. The idea of struggling to remain safe is abhorrant to me.
The clubs below can't seem to even match our very moderate achievements this season and the more they fail to do so the safer we shall be.
I wanted an improved Villa to win all remaining matches but forlornly end up shrugging and accepting there will be another season now unless the several teams below have some sort of miracle revival which is a rarity when they are despondant and of low morale.
One point against Wigan will sort out any doubt. But what an awful situation to be in.
We need a clearout and a new start next season.
They circumstances are falling into place for us to do that. 
Someone has get relegated but we should not even be here even remotely in the vicinity of the zone.
Finger pointing is futile. Accept we have been below expectation to shite this season and sort it out for the future otherwise it is taking the piss out of the largest most loyal fanbases in the country.
I always ruefully recall my Dad saying once 'They never came to see me when I was bad" ..so that's it..I happens sometime and you wonder why. Randy had better understand that attitude is challenging the fan base again.
We don't turn up to see goalless football against the likes of Wigan..

The idea that we are worrying about playing Wigan at home tells you everything about how far we have stooped. Before we could put the results down to a bad day at the office, now we actually fear them.

We've always been worried about playing Wigan at home, even in the (almost) glory days of MON.

[Mazrim]

Well, I'm not worried about Wigan.

I've literally worried about us playing everyone this season, from probably the Stoke away game onwards.

I agree that one more point should do it but I have no confidence (with Gary Mac at the helm) of our ability to achieve that.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed our goal difference will not be too affected over the final three games.  If we lose each by an average of two or three goals, we might be in trouble.

if we lose the last 3 games 10 nil we still wont go down

[Rip Van We Go Again]

There can be no excuses for beating a very poor Wigan team.

I'm expecting the crowd to inspire a 3-1 win.

And a 10 man West Brom ? With Gary Mac anything is possible .If we do need a point and it doesn't come from Wigan we're screwed

[pauliewalnuts]

Well, I'm not worried about Wigan.

I wasn't worried about Wolves, either.

That's the thing with this season, creditable performances where you wouldn't expect them (admittedly, not many of them), but quite a few utterly awful ones where you would expect us easily to pick up the points.

For heavens sake we are not going down!!!

My abiding memory of this season will be of walking up Trinity Road before the game (and I mean "the game" in the sense of "pretty much all of them") with a knot the size of a football in my stomach, wracked with nervous tension that things are going to go to shit again.

I really can't wait for this season to end, so 3 points against Wigan and we can forget the final two matches

That's what I believe too. I genuinely feel the bottom feeders are deeply unlikely to get enough points to catch us. Sadly, I think the noses are pretty much safe too as 39 points will be enough.

Those four teams at the bottom are really hapless looking to me and whilst some have easy run ins they do have to play one another.

Good job as I honestly don't see us picking up another point this season under McAllister.
