Why do we fall down? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
And that we must, as in as succinct a description as I can muster, yesterday was fucking mince.
But we must credit the quality of Stoke's midfield and the excellence of Leeds as playing a heavy part in our poor performances.
Swansea and Preston offer immediate succour of being nowhere near as good. But injuries to Grealish make it harder than it ought to be. First up Swansea;
If Taylor isn't fit, then we may have to hold our Nose with Elmo.

This is the start of the run. This is where we show our true potential. 3-0 villa and optimism restored. Tammy x 2 and Chester.

It's now looking like an easier run of games, but this being Villa, I'm not sure that really means anything. We can honestly forget abut the top 2, and just need to strain every sinew to get into the top 6 and try to stay there. Starting with Swansea. They're not in a great run of form, and seem to have the same sort of defensive problems we do. However, they always seem to score, so I'm going for 2-2, again. I can't see anything really changing unless the defence does, and that can't happen until January.

I hadn't realised that this is on the tellybox! We have no alternatives to that defence at the moment. Attack is the best form of defence.

There are no easy games in this leaue.
I would love to see a reaction to yesterday but just cant see it and don’t think we have the energy.
2-0 defeat I feel.

Yes, I was thinking that earlier. I can see us bouncing back. 0-3. Abraham, Chester and Kodjia.

Think stuffings been knocked out of the team after yesterday. We never do well there either. And Burton two years ago aside, Villa always ruin my Boxing Day. 2-1 defeat.

Traditionally, we don't do boxing days so another defeat is on the cards but who knows with this bunch of jokers ( Villa that is). Depends who turns up on the day.
