The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

I too still harbour doubts that will not go away. The proprietor of the chip shop, a lovely Asian Brummie and Villa fan summed it up in a sentence worthy of Darren Woolley himself   "we have got the form but we haven't got the luck".

I don't think teams deliberately go out and roll over so have faith Albion will get something next week.

[silhillvilla]

Still think this will go to the wire.

I think Albion faded badly when they thought they were safe. Pulls v keen to reiterate they're not safe yet tho whether the players believe that is another thing

[brian green]

As they say in racing it will go on the nod.

The doubt will remain till the fat lady sings however I don't think  four teams below us will ALL play better than us for the remaining games. This also means one of them will not get 36 points.

[Villafirst]

I still think one win against West Ham or Burnley will be enough, giving us 38 points. Can you see Sunderland getting another 5 points with their tough run-in?

[silhillvilla]

It would be nice to get it done pre-Burnley so we can rotate a few before 30 May.

[brian green]

I have seen us relegated several times and if we go, it will be by far and away the best Villa team, on Sherwood not Lambert form, ever to be relegated. It would be massively unfair on Sherwood and the players but as we all know nothing in life is fair.

[silhillvilla]

We are capable of another 9 points to get us to 44.

[Villafirst]

We are capable of another 9 points to get us to 44.

Yep, agree. They way some people are talking we won't get another point!

[Clampy]

I thought yesterday was going to be the toughest game of the ones we had left and we've managed to get three points out of it so who knows what's going to happen? I think it'll be Hull who drop though. They don't seem to have many goals in them.

I don't think teams deliberately go out and roll over so have faith Albion will get something next week.

The stripeyfilth getting a win at Old Trafford then losing to a team who've lost 8 on the bounce would be very unsurprising.

[brian green]

I think you can bet your mortgage on Newcastle next week. They will have spent a week of such torrents of fan abuse they will not be able to wait to get on the pitch. Albion on the other hand will have spent a week of posing and preening and will not know what has hit them. I take Newcastle by at least two clear goals.

[Jimbo]

It's a game that both Newcastle and Albion will win.
