Quote from: mallo on February 19, 2020, 01:40:37 PMDont lose - simple as that. An away draw I'll take. Their home form is excellent.Their home form league wise really isn’t that excellent, won 3 drawn 2 lost 8. Out of the last 6 league games they lost 3 drawn 1. Their defeats and 2 wins being fairly spread out, so no real consistency.Overall they have won 2 more games than us all season, lost 2 less. There isn’t a massive gap between us, though granted you wouldn’t of thought this at VP in December.None of this means we’ll get anything, but we shouldn’t be going down there thinking we’re facing some sort of excellent side. They are capable of top draw performances like against us and Chelsea away, or dross like losing at home to Burnley the other week. This has to be one of the games we’re looking to win.

We need to turn our season around starting on Saturday. The commitment may be there but the discipline has been sadly missing. Sir Graham would have said, "you got yourselves into this mess, now get yourself out of it". No excuses. Time to show what this Manager and team are all about.0-3 Villa win.
