The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[ChicagoLion]

Just like last season the games and points keep slipping by and the chances of promotion dwindle.
It looks like the club will be too slow to act to put it right and a rerun of last season looks increasingly likely.

Yep and week in week out we'll be fed excuse after excuse by Bruce as he claims that he needs more time and money to turn it around...the media and fans of other clubs will tell us how self entitled we think we are and should be grateful to have such a good manager...and there will be a large section of Villa fans that can't see the woods through the trees and still think he's doing a great job.

We need to be on 20 points by end of September.

I'm optimistically looking for us to win 5 of our next 7 starting tonight.

We would be in the mix nicely if we can do that.

There's a reasonable chance with the good home form and law of averages suggests at least one away win every 1000 years.

But whether we'd kick on and put away wins back to back remains to be seen.

Brentford (H)
Boro (H)
Barnsley (A)
Burton (A)
Forest (H)
Bolton (H)

Needs to be 4 wins from that bunch.

We wont do that.

Crikey that's a massive chance to pick up points. 4 wins minimum. The two away games are big opportunities too.

[LukeJames]

2 wins, 3 draws and a defeat.

[London Villan]

13 points minimum from that run.

Newcastle would have won them all. We have to aim to win them all.

Crucial month coming up. Di matteo was sacked with 10 points from 11 before the last October international break. Bruce needs to be on 16 points minimum at same stage I reckon which is 11 points from those 6 games. 3 wins 2 draws 1 defeat seems reasonable looking at those fixtures.

[Matt Collins]

Brentford (H)
Boro (H)
Barnsley (A)
Burton (A)
Forest (H)
Bolton (H)

Needs to be 4 wins from that bunch.

We wont do that.

I think we will.

I think it will be pretty clear what state we are in after those 6.

End up it 11 games and 11 pts and Bruce will get the chop.

[Richie]

You look at the games coming up. Last season we drew with Brentford at home, Barnsley away, Forest at home and Burton away. Need to turn them draws into wins if we are to get into the promotion mix.

Its shoes and socks off time again.

[itbrvilla]

I think it will be pretty clear what state we are in after those 6.

End up it 11 games and 11 pts and Bruce will get the chop.

We need to be on no less than 18 by that stage to keep in touch with the leading bunch.
