could we get relegated?

[Drummond]

Any bar the usual top 5/6 could go down. The chances are though that it will be one or two of the promoted teams along with some dross from last, i.e. Blackburn and Wigan.

We're unbeaten and 8th in the table so we have a solid base to continue, however, we need some wins quickly.

IF we'd won yesterday rather than conceding that scrappy, crappy goal at the death we'd be 5th with a couple of wins under our belts and feeling a lot more positive.

[Damo70]

We won't go down but we need to be looking for at least seven points from our next three at home - Wigan, Albion and Norwich. We need Bent back and we need to give him some decent service.

[JUAN PABLO]

about right Damo   ;-)

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I agree with that too, Damo.

McLeish has had a few games now to find his best XI, now he needs to start putting points on the board. Seven points at least is a must, starting with 3 against Wigan.

FFS get a grip. We are unbeaten after 6 games. Stop  this suicidal mindset and think a about positives. Beat Wigan on Saturday and we can concentrate on dismantling Manciti from their perch on October 6th.

Villa only playing for 1 half is a long term thing, I often say to my Dad 'I hope this is our bad half'

Same here! We've been like this for years, it's criminal.

[Chipsticks]

We won't go down, it's not a genuine concern for me.

I'm astonished people are already panicking despite us being in the top 8 and unbeaten.

[luke25]

We won't go down, we've still got Bent and N'zogbia to hit form yet, when that happens we can trouble anybody

[Compass]

Unbeaten this, unbeaten that.

Man Utd and Man City have great unbeaten runs. Newcastle have a good unbeaten run. Us? Average at best, nothing to brag about considering the teams we've played and the amount of draws we're picking up. Is anyone actually so blind to notice we haven't won 1 game for over a month now, we're actually dropping places and it's gonna get alot harder in the next couple of months?

[Legion]

We could, but we won't.

[TopDeck113]

We could, but we won't.

Exactly how I feel.

In fact, I'm actually more optimistic than I was for much of last season, based simply on the fact that our defence looks far more solid.

You were telling us last week that we'd be easily beaten at QPR, now that was wrong you're telling us being unbeaten isn't important.

[Monty]

We could, of course, but we probably won't. I don't think it'll particularly be a season to remember though.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

There are plenty of teams more shit than us. Mainly everyone who finished below us last season.
