End of season predictor...

[Darlo Dave]

I'm not sure how, but I have us 10th on 42 points. I'm scratching my head about that, I must admit, as I thought I was being quite hard on us.

[Richard E]

Don't worry folks! I know for a certain fact that we will beat Southampton 1-0, because I dreamt about it last night. Close range tap in after keeper parries the first effort. We were wearing the lime green 3rd kit but don't let that minor detail put you off.

If the lads trot out in the green kit I'll be legging it down the bookies mate.

[Richard E]

The goal was worryingly reminiscent of Jordan Henderson's tap-in goal against Swansea on Sunday, I think my faculties have gone to be truthful.

Now I know what the E in Richard E stands for.

You would never have thought that we would end up over-achieving.

[MONCABA]

I have us finishing comfortably on 40 points.  Simples.

[SoccerHQ]

I have us finishing comfortably on 40 points.  Simples.

That still wouldn't be good enough though, a point less than last season, a point less than O'dreary managed in his final season.

I know points comparisons over seasons aren't always accurate but this is a woeful bottom half this season and it's just sad it just seems acceptable nowadays for Aston Villa to just about scrape together 40 points in a seasons.

I didn't do the predictor.  Reasons?

1. Tedious.
2. There are three teams worst than us.

[baddowvillans]

I have Chelsea champions and Cardiff, palace and west brom relegated.   Villa 14th on 38 points.

Lerner will be happy Lambert will get his new contract and we'll "go again"

Looks like I'm talking out of my arse then.

I think we will finish on 46 points and be 11th.

I think we will get the 12 points needed to level with the first half of this prediction, but I believe that would be enough to see us finish 10th.

I have predicted we will beat Stoke and it could be the case that we're adrift on our own in 10th, 6 or 7 clear of 11th and the same again from 9th.

[not3bad]

The stats geeks have predicted 10th so I'll go with that.

[eastie]

I set a target of 50 points at the start of the season and a top 10 place - that would be very decent indeed if achieved.

[maidstonevillain]

I think the Stoke game will be an important indicator. If we win that with a convincing performance, it could show we have turned the corner, and could go on a run like the end of last season. Could end up putting pressure on Newcastle and Southampton.
But if we revert back to the normal home dross  for the Stoke game, it will show the Chelsea game was another "one off" against good opposition, and we could be in for nervous grind to safety.
