Relegation?

[pauliewalnuts]

I think it is no points from the last 4 games which included Sturke Palace and Fulham that has got a lot of us scared. I don't think anybody thought our points total would be 0

Even the most pessimistic fan would have suggested one win amongst that lot. Certainly you'd have been pretty bold to have predicted 0 points.

It's not as if we can even say we deserved anything or that we played well. We were garbage in all those matches.

If Lambert wants to try and keep his job, whether that is possible is another point, but surely he must looking at 5 points from the next three minimum.

My concern is that if we play like we have played against Stoke, Fulham and Palace, every Premier League team can beat us easily.
I count more on the fact the Norwich must face 4 very difficult games in which they will struggle to make more that one point.
Very sad the we, the once mighty Villa, are reduced in these conditions to have to count on the opponents disgraces, but this is the actual situation.

I'd snap your hand off if you offered two. 

The only hope is that sides like Soton, Hull and Tottingham will prob have little to play for. So they might be in cruise control.

But then Palarse barely broke out of third gear yesterday.  They didn't need to.

We have experienced long spells of dismal form quite frequently for the last two seasons but still been able to win points unexpectedly every now and then. I expect that will happen once or twice between now and the end of the season, and that we will be safe before the last match of the season.

That's what is worrying. Even the doom-mongers would have predicted 3pts out of the last 4 games. Which would have made us all but safe.

This is it. We've had to rely on other teams being worse than us to stay up for too many season now. That's been a source of reassurance when we were worried. Is this Aston Villa?! The more I think about it, the more agitated I'm becoming at the leadership at Villa.

I bet the media will have a very very big party when Villa go down knowing them.

[Legion]

If.

[ozzjim]

They will because it will be a huge story. Like when Newcastle and Leeds went, it will be a huge story that a club of our size has got to the point of being poor enough to be relegated.

If we go, having had 34 points after the Chelsea game, with Fulham, Stoke, Palace in the next 4, and Hull, Swansea and Southampton at home to come, then frankly we deserve it. It seems that the tactic has been Benteke will save us, now they are all in total panic mode!

What is our record number of consecutive league defeats? Could be in danger...

Good news that Hull made the FA Cup final, with any luck they will send their reserves out at Villa Park and we'll scrape a point.

[Legion]

Even since times under Gérard Houllier and Alex McLeish came to the forefront I was convinced that we were not going to get relegated. Even last season under Paul Lambert I just knew we were going to be safe. This season, though, I am no longer quite so sure. Please prove me wrong.

I still stand by my opening post but just recently am getting even more worried as each match goes by. I will also add that IF we stop up this year I really fear for us next season if nothing changes on either the playing side or at managerial/boardroom level.

[David_Nab]

I think we need a draw that way an unexpected Norwich win keeps them below us on GD

That might be enough assuming Sunderland dont get more points and Cardiff dont fluke anymore wins based on the GK having a blinder.

Frankly I don't fancy our chances against even Hull's reserves while Lambert is in charge.

[Des Little]

We really should be able to get two points from the two home games. Whether we can will remain to be seen but if we manage to fall short of the required tally then let's face it, we only have ourselves to blame. Let's be positive...it's in our hands after all. Come on Villa.
