The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[PaulWinch again]

One win and we'll be fine.

[walsall villain]

I am more concerned than ever especially than two years ago but it worked last time so I feel duty bound to try and plot our escape again.  Here goes.


Newcastle v Aston Vila - Draw 1 point
Aston Villa v West Brom - Draw 1 point
Sunderland v Aston Villa - Win 3 points
Aston Villa v Swansea    - Win 3 points
Man Utd v Aston Villa   - lose 0 points
Tottenham v Aston Villa - lose 0 points
Aston Villa v QPR - Win 3 points
Man City v Aston Villa   - Lose 0 points
Aston Villa v Everton - Draw 1 point
Aston Villa v West Ham - Draw 1 point
Southampton v Aston Villa - Lose 0 points
Aston Villa v Burnley - Win 3 points

Gives us 38 points.  Enough I think but one hell of a task ill grant you.

Two years ago we had 24 points at this stage of the season and ended on 41.

Opening post to this and very accurate so far regarding points, but not quite where you predicted. Think it will be accurate for the final 5, should get 5 points easily and be more than safe. Then we can concentrate on the final.

[Des Little]

Not sure 34 pts is enough after all.

Never was? The talk has been 36 hasn't it?

[ozzjim]

West Ham at home is the key game now. Win I reckon we will be safe on 35. Burnley and QPR look doomed, and I can't see Hull or Sunderland getting to more than 35.

[villa for life]

And Everton are now safe, which should work in our favour.

[PaulWinch again]

Please end this relegation threat asap so we can enjoy the build up!

[Steve67]

Who'd have thought going into the three tough games against Spurs, Liverpool and Man City that we'd win two of them? And we might get something from City yet!  The tide has turned, this is a different Villa. We will get something from our last four games to see us to safety. That said, no room for complacency.

With Benteke in this form, Delph and TC playing very well and Grealish looking a hell of a player, I'm pretty confident we'll be safe as houses this season. There's a few teams that are there for the taking in the last 5 games. Some will have one foot in their holidays, whilst I'd expect us to see off Burnley. Even the toughest game on paper, against City, doesn't seem that daunting now. We go for it and we can win it.

Need to keep our remaining 2 CB's fit. That is key

Newcastle not out of it yet.

It doesn't look good for Baker and Clark. I wonder if Senderos is anywhere near close to getting back.

[Legion]

Still worried due to our centre-back situation. I believe Baker and Clark are out for the rest of the season.

[PaulWinch again]

I just hope Vlaar and Okore stay fit now. That's my one concern for our survival and the cup final.

[Des Little]

Where the f*ck is Senderos?

[ozzjim]

I asked this on the match and the baker thread yesterday. Even in the after match pictures the injured ones are there, even some little Spanish kid that we have not seen for weeks is there, but Senderos is nowhere to be seen.

We need to start a where the fuck is Senderos thread!!
