Never say never, but if we don't win tomorrow then we'll be 13pts off 6th place and at least 16pts from 5th place. We have take it game by game, but if we don't pick up 9pts from the next 3 games before we play Newcastle then realistically I think it'll be too much of a gap to close.

we need to start putting runs together when we win 4 lose 1

He played 43 times for the side that finished 2nd last season so it suggests he's good enough for this division. I think he'd struggle in the top flight though.

I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he's that good though. He just doesn't deliver enough for me.

Too much of a one trick pony for me and hasnt got enough pace

[claret+blue ed]

As much as I would love us to go on a run to make the playoffs, we have left it too late now, we need concentrate on getting a shape and pattern to our team and work towards going up as champions next year, I believe this will make us stronger in the long term

Prior to our new additions hasn't he got the most assists?

[OzVilla]

Well if we really are going to make a run at the play offs, Forest away is exactly the sort of game we need to win.

[cannock villa]

Think we're clucking at straws on this thread guys. To think we'll make the playoffs you have to be more optimistic than Opti McMistic from Optimisticshire.

[Matt Collins]

Things that demonstrably can't be true:

Bruce is no good at this level
McCormack is no good at this level
Adomah is no good at this level

I do agree with you, BUT the Doc is throwing lots of money at it, And when we don't go up this year , will he have the same interest going forward. (you can see why I say this , re lerner and his divorce from Villa)

[oswald funkletrumpet]

With adomah he is just far too predictable, 9 times out of 10 cant beat the man on the outside so cuts inside or gives the ball to hutton on the overlap and we know how that is going to end

The bloke tries but personally i dont think he offers enough and no way would he cut it in the prem, with many others

Even if we fluked the play-offs and went up, on present performance we would have a soul destroying season and come straight back down. I'm for consolidating and building for another season.

Why would we?

[IFWaters]

With Sheff Weds winning they are on track for 78 points at the end of the season, which would be the highest 6th place finish in 10 years.

To match that we have to win 14 of our 18 remaining games.

I cannot remember Villa ever having that form.

Its not going to happen.
