We're not going up and we're not going down. There will be good and bad games until the end of this season. hopefully next season we'll have learned the lesson that being Aston Villa doesn't mean you don't have to treat each and every game like a cup final, because every other team that plays us will.

This is what I think as well. I don't think we'll go down but we certainly won't be going up. It's all about next season now, and somehow we've got to finally sort out the mess that is Aston Villa.

Brighton suffered similar under Hypia, although Hoghton did well to keep them up in the end. They settled on a system and a squad that they've only added piecemeal to and have been very competitive the past few years.

The quality is there. Newcastle apart, man for man there is no better. Use the free time wisely.

And if we do sort it out, it'll be more about the culture and attitude at the club, rather than the money spent, players or managers not being good enough. As has been pointed out, the people we're getting into the club can't all be shit.

We've spent enough money now.

Of course there's always opportunity for more...we need to settle the keeper situation and a new CB is required but aside from that let's have a focused pre season settling on a formation and style of play and hopefully we can get off to a good start and things can progress from there.

We have another sixty-two games in this division. Plenty of games to get out - at the top end I hope.

Most realistic bit of Promotion Maths I've seen for a wee while. Should crack it in 62 games, eh ?

And how many points have we amassed from the last 62 games?

No more than fifty, in truth. ***oops***

I did say I only hoped we'd get out at the top end...

Yes, but we didn't have SB and 3-5-2 then !
And I am convinced Hogan will only get better now he has realised that Kodjia is his rival not his friend.

Correct talk, BOB MANSFIELD!

When Hogan twigs "that Kodjia is his rival not his friend", he will be a calmer, karma chameleon.

It feels like there's an eighties thing going on here. Hogan (Paul?) and karma chameleon (Boy George?)

When you consider we had those 2 runs which combined were 1 win in 21 it's bloody frustrating!
