Promotion Maths

[Big Dick Edwards]

While it's not impossible to go up this season, we will need our new midfield to hit the ground running. That's a huge ask, and there was little evidence at Brentford that will be the case. On a positive note, if we do get into the playoff positions we'll almost certainly be the division's form team in May and will have every chance of getting to Wembley.

Agreed, I think we are a long way being able to even put up a decent fight to stay up next year if we fluked the play offs

[Old Kodjia]

I think I've cracked it:

32,000 rabbits feet
4 Gypsies curses
1 boatload of dodgy refereeing decisions in our favour

[ChicagoLion]

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

The evidence this season though

The evidence this season is that the two players are out of form and inconsistent respectively while the manager is taking his time to sort a massive problem, not that they're no good, which they clearly are.

Surely this thread needs locking now?

[frank black]

It need changing to a building for next season thread. We I guess it will soon enough.

No locking of this thread until it's mathematically impossible! It must be the glass more than half full in me that after the Forest game says - this team can gel , get a couple of wins against Ipswich and Barnsley to set us on our way to the mother of all unbeaten runs 

[Steve67]

The sad thing is, I think we have the players to do it. Too late now though.

If Villa can put together a run to get into the play offs it will make Bruce one of the all time greats and need the other teams to crash. Not much chance of that. What I want now is mid table mediocrity, an end to any thought of relegation and some entertainment.

I still fear relegation. Sorry, but its not impossible.

And I am still backing Bruce, just as I backed Vic Crowe after Docherty. There is no more money. He has his players now. He has to make it happen. No point in more change, we need stability.

Can someone change the title of this thread to "Relegation Maths" please? I think we need 50 points to be sure so that is 14 from 16 games. At present rate that appears a very difficult task.

[exigo]

Two months ago we were talking about the handful of teams above us who all had to come to Villa Park. Now there's bloody loads of them.

[Des Little]

Close this thread please. It's embarrassing.

[PeterWithesShin]

"Mid-table Maths" could be the new title.
