The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[Des Little]

Still got plenty of hair on my head -  it's just all grey
That's  what supporting Villa for 55 years does to you - plus sex,drugs, drink and work !!!!!!!

Where do you work? I fancy a bit of that!

We win today - 7 points behind
Cardiff draw at Sheff Utd, we beat Reading - 5 behind
Cardiff lose to Wolves, we draw at Norwich - 4 behind
Next up would be Cardiff at home; beat them and suddenly we're 1 point behind

Or we'll probably lose 3-0 today.

Like your thinking QV but would they still have a game in hand on us ?

Yeah Derby away. Shocking form but will need to win to get a play off place.

This is Villa though, we'll probably go on a terrible run and end up clinging on to a play off place!

I have bouts of thinking it’s still possible too. Normally dashed quite quickly.

Still don't think much has changed. Still going to be 7 points difference from cardiff if we beat hull going into April. Beat cardiff at home then thats 4 points, then you have to hope they drop points away at sheff U, Derby and home to Wolves. Advantage could be gone in 2 or 3 games., and cardiff still have to play 4 other teams. That all depends if we do our bit of course......

That’s the problem, we needed something to change, like the others losing and us winning to close the gap.

Wouldn't be the first time things have changed around. Only December Cardiff were losing 3 on the bounce. As i keep saying, if they get through all the hard games they have in April unscathed then you have to say well done to them but you'd hope playing 4 of the top six would result in them dropping some points at least.

Yep, but it really would have helped if at least one of the other two had lost.

Wolves 20 points deduction for being in league with the devil.

Fulham go up as second, we lose to the dog heads in the play offs.

[Matt Collins]

Regardless of the points position, we’re just not playing anywhere near well enough to get top two

Bruce’s management in this bad spell has been very poor. As soon as we brought Kodjia on and left jack and Lansbury as the midfield I just thought “there goes any quality possession”

And he keeps on fucking doing it

We need to focus on getting back in form ahead of the play offs. Fulham, Cardiff or probably boro would definitely beat us at the moment

All over now anyway. Stupid of me to even think we could beat 3 teams in a row

[IFWaters]

Final nail in the coffin for automatic promotion.

Now impossible to average 2 points a game means we've blown it. I think we will grind out a few more points and finish fourth.

[myf]

Pure desperation. Second half sums up Steve Bruce. Criminal performance with a full strength squad

[SoccerHQ]

I'd personally rest a few of our key players now.

We won't be winning the play offs with this level of performance, that's for sure.

[QuintonVilla]

No chance in the play offs. We look slow, sluggish, lacking ideas and predictable. No plan B. HOOF.

[mr underhill]

We have every chance in the play offs - a ball of which has yet to be kicked.
