This is the season...

[Skerra]

Well, give me some credit as I've got the first one right!! I remember feeling daft when I put us down for a point v Ģiteh but, who knows. I just feel that with the squad we've got, we should be good enough to get out of our current dilema. Due to our lack of a real striker, I just hope that he will at least give Kozak a chance at some stage,

I'm literally amazed at the level of white flag waving, and the opinion from some that a 5 point gap isn't a gap at all but a chasm.

It's 5 points. It's November

We have to be better than Norwich, Bournemouth and Sunderland at the very least between now and the of the season. It's hardly Mission Impossible is it?

My thoughts exactly mate, I really don't get it. We have to play them all again as well....it's a strange stance to say we look a much better team already but it's too late to pull back 5 points with over 2/3 of the season to go. Maybe I'm just a glass half overflowing kind of guy!

Before the Ģiteh match I did a prediction at work on likely points we will accumulate up to New Year:-

* Manchester City - 1
* Everton - 1
* Watford - 3
* Southampton - 1
* Arsenal - 0
* Newcastle - 1
* West Ham - 3
* Norwich - 3

Which would put us on 17 points and, although not great, it would be a lot better than the 4 we had before the match last sunday. Also, suggest you take a look at the fixtures up until new year for Norwich, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Sunderland and suddenly, to me at least, the escape does not seem impossible.

I reckon we will get 10 points from the next 7

[PeterWithesShin]

10 points from 7 games may not seem particularly impressive but doing that for the rest of the season sees us stay up as that average points per game will take us over 40 points.

We have to beat Norwich and Watford and scrape another win.

[LTA]

Given how poor we've been, we are still only 5 points of safety.  A damning indictment of how poor this league is.

[olaftab]

Nothing has changed or was expected to change in the last two games to reassess the situation. Better assessment will be after the next 3 matches.

[PeterWithesShin]

Beat Watford and we are still bang on the points per game ratio we needed when Remi joined us.

[Villa in Denmark]

I know what you're saying Olaftab, but the nature of the spanking this afternoon has got me seriously contemplating the idea for the first time since Bolton under McLeish, and I can't remember the last time before that.

[Steve67]

The next six games are all winnable. Shape, structure, heart and luck.

There is no doubt we are in serious trouble  A***.

[SoccerHQ]

As I've been saying for weeks squad isn't good enough. We aren't good enough in final third, we are useless in midfield against teams that play quick 1-2s and we can't handle decent strikers.

Even if the survival mark was 25 points I wouldn't fancy us.

We need a good striker, left back, centre half and another central midfield in the January transfer window. Anyone think we're going to get them>

[Billy Walker]

I'd love the Club, as of right now, to be doing all it can to galvanize the supporters and players so that we have a united, totally focused atmosphere for all our remaining games.  Get Villa Park full, positive and totally up for the battle ahead by introducing a new marketing campaign and new ticket deals.   Likewise, for away games we need to be laying on free coaches and actively taking the whole allocations.  Off the pitch the Club seems to be showing no urgency, pride or fight.  Come on Villa, take the lead, show initiative and get fighting.

[Toronto Villa]

No and not until it is mathematical certain. Leicester made an incredible recovery from the pits of hell, we did last season and Sunderland looked even more dead when they appointed Advocaat. Long way to go.
