Aston Villa v Millwall Post Match Thread

[hilts_coolerking]

They summed up the game and our season on the Guardian: "Jack Grealish ran the game, and the margin of victory would have been much greater but for some fine goalkeeping from [insert name of opposition goalie here]."

1 point should makes us safe?

Derby + Bristol have 42 games

The most any 2 of the 3 below us can both get is 76 points (DC & BC playing each other), so with our way superior goal diff then you're right, one point pretty much guarantees it

Thats not right. BC can get 80 or Derby can get 78. Plus Middlebrough can still get 79.

Bristol and Derby have to play each other.

[Nelly]

Ten consectutive wins is an incredible achievement. Especially as this isn't a squad that Smith has put together or shaped in any huge way. He's worked wonders with what he has got. Massive respect and just incredible to see Villa create a record. With our history, that is massive.

[SamTheMouse]

Absolutely brilliant achievement to win ten on the spin. The staff and players should be very proud.

No they can't.

[Toronto Villa]

Forest beating Boro
Sheff Wed 2-0 Brizzle

[PeterWithesShin]

Maximum points if they won all remaining games including today, I think is

Boro 76
Bristol C 78
Derby 76

Derby and Bristol play each other so one of them isn't doing it.

Forest 1 up and Sheff Weds 2 up.

No they can't.

Derby max 76 or Bristol max 78, Boro max 76

[LukeJames]

Most of its already been said but just a word for the 4 minutes added on. I cant remember Millwall getting out of there half, very professional from us!

[Tuscans]

As it stands Bristol max is 75 pts, Derby 74pts and Boro 73pts

[Toronto Villa]

I’d much rather have to face Leeds than Sheff Utd in the playoffs. Wilder has his side playing some great stuff.

[Risso]

I haven't felt this great about the number 10 since watching Bo Derek as a 14 year old.

You used to watch Bo Derek when she was 14?  Honestly Risso, you have issues ;-)

I wasn’t born when she was 14 so yes, it would have been strange 😀

No they can't.

Bristol City can get to 78 but would need to beat Derby to do it.
Derby can get 76 but would need to beat Bristol City to get it.

Those 2 can't both happen and the state of goal differences means it's highly unlikely we could finish below both of them.

Add to that Boro can get to 76 points so need 3 wins.

As it stands Boro not winning means we're guaranteed the playoffs, if either Derby of Bristol City drop points (as they're both doing) then we're pretty much guaranteed 5th.

The funny thing is we're currently getting 5th based on results for MoN and Bruce.

That's wrong too.
