Championship 2018-2019

The auto pro numbers could well be mid 80s this season... a season for having Steve Bruce as Manager
(please forgive me  for such a rash comment)

[CT Villan]

In case any of you were wondering, it appears we actually won last Friday...





from avfc official.

We are Aston Villa and we'll tell you what the score was.

Just recently seen and caught up with results on  the Tuesdays 27 November .

Norwich stopped winning !!
And Boro held.
I read that Reading had a late penalty saved away at Leeds but I felt this was a 3pointer for Leeds and any aspiring playoff /promotion club would , in probablility ,defeat reading at home.

Sheffield United did the business away at Deanos old Manor
(Great match at home to Leeds saturday so some team will drop points!)

Bolton just never win these days

And well played Rotherham holding back QPR who are around our league position .

Results in full:
Brentford 2 Sheff Utd   3
Hull   0 Norwich 0
Leeds 1 Reading 0
Preston   1 Middlesbrough 1
Rotherham 2 QPR 2
Sheff Wed 1 Bolton 0

Over to the villa to keep up winning .

The other matches tonight are
Stoke v Derby in the Gary Rowett Derby

Lambos Ipswich v Bristol City
Millwall v Blues
Swansea v Baggies
Wigan v Blackburn

What are the ramifications if we "don't" go up this season?

[SoccerHQ]

Forest will finish top 6 imo, very impressed with them tonight. In such a crazy game they displayed plenty of good attributes.

If we keep in touch then we have a really good run from January up to Mid Feb so that should be the time we established ourselves in the play offs and still have three months to have a go at top 2.

Forest are a much better side than Norwich. They'll be top 6. As will we.

[wittonwarrior]

No outstanding teams this season so we have every chance of at least the playoffs

[Richard]

Bookies have us as 7th favourites for promotion with Forest the other team currently in the Top 8 missing out on the play offs also.

Based on what I've seen this week we will both finish Top 6 with Sheff Utd and Boro missing out.

I still fancy us for automatic with the Baggies funnily enough.

Norwich, Leeds, Derby, Forest play offs.

I still don't think Leeds will last the pace. Theyre increasingly spawny and their squad is so thin.

Sheffield United dropping off too.

Boro may well squeak 6th.

Forest, Derby, Norwich and possibly Boro for the play offs.

Us and Sandwell up automatically.

[Nastylee]

If we can maintain this until Jan 1st then I have no doubt the second half of the season will be fruitful. We just need to ensure the likes of Leeds and co don't increase the gap. Anything under 10 points and you have to fancy us making a claim with a decent run of fixtures post Christmas.

[themossman]

I’d be more worried about the gap if I thought either of the top 2 would be there at the end of the season. Leeds looked poor yesterday, terrible at the back and didn’t deserve the points. They are riding their luck.

The playoffs could be very good and close this year, as long as pulis doesn’t get in and stink out half of it.

[Nastylee]

That's fair enough but the gap exists and we need to make up for those awful Bruce results. We have basically started the season with a 15 point handicap.

[Richard]

Think the strength in depth in midfield and attack will get us over the line - if you think yesterday we didn't start with any of  Adomah, Kodjia, BB, Lansbury, Hogan, O Hare, Jedi, Whelan - no other team has that squad depth.

I'm going to call it.

We're quite good aren't we.

[Chris Smith]

I'm going to call it.

We're quite good aren't we.

Yes but I am nervous about saying it out loud, the last few years have made me extremely cautious about predicting anything more than one game at a time.
