If Everton can shove +3 up wolves today we’ll be back out the relegation zone.

Yes, and for the same reasons as Risso.

But then I was born worried so plus ca change.

No, we've played four games.Stupid mistakes have cost us but I think we've played well except yesterday.

It will all be about our home games and if we can smash 30 points from them and pick up 10/12 away we will be fine

I would love it, just love it, if this happened.

Like some others have said, I’m worried, but only in the way that has been pretty much the default for the whole of my Villa-supporting life.

I wrote on the post-match thread that we lost the game yesterday because of a poor decision, and can be overly self-critical. Teams win games all the time that they don’t deserve to, as we did during our 12 game winning run last season.

I’d be surprised if we were dominating any of the teams we have played so far given the complete overhaul that was necessary over the summer.

What I am worried about though is complacency. I am worried that the team might be overly confident that things will eventually come good - and they might not. Every game obviously matters, and we don’t want to become adrift at the bottom. I am worried that we don’t really have another way to play if this doesn’t work (mainly due to our limited options up front).

The slight worry I have is Smith rigidly sticking to the existing formation waiting for it to come right. We have to move away from the "2 number eights" and have two sitting in midfield.

Not to worried but 1 win in 4 is not good. I agree with the above

The day I stop being happy at winning 3 in 4, or being worried that we've lost 3 out of 4, is probably the day I'm dribbling into my pureed food not even knowing what the fuck Aston Villa is.

I mean, for context, if the score stays the same Wolves will be on the same number of points as us, but winless, and I'm not sure how many people have them going down at this stage.

Quite.

To be honest, I would almost prefer to laugh at dropping them into the bottom three on alphabetical order and then us copiously pointing out the 21 letter gap.

Yes. We’re not going to score enough goals, and we’re way too lightweight in midfield.
Agree, if we continue to set the team up like this we are going to struggle, we have to sort the midfield out and soon.
We can then worrie about the goals.

I’ll only start getting worried when I see the Villa fans Worried thread make an appearance
