Nobody is forcing people to gather together to watch football, if they do when they are not supposed to its their responsibility

No, they are not. But they will. Either way play or not we are relegated as no way we will be able to turn around our form

That's the spirit.

What other spirit is there? Season should have rolled over into next year. I want my team to do well but playing, ppg, ending the season only leads to us being in the schtuck.

How about win the first game and then we just need to match points with the teams around us for however many rounds they play out. We're playing Sheffield United not some unbeatable galaticos. I'm not saying that they're a bad team, just that any Villa fan who can't even entertain the idea of us winning this one should probably not be left alone much.

Looks like 4 games on BBC and 25 games free to air on Sky.

I think if the season is incomplete, then the Championship will also be unfinished. I don’t think they’d relegate a team on PPG if the league below is incomplete.

I think the form book is out the window. The issue is will Smith have worked out a way to stop our midfield parting like the Red Sea. If he don’t fix that we are down.

As important as winning against Sheffield United is, it's also incredibly important that we get a decent looking result on that first weekend round too. Logically, they will not stop the season between the Wednesday and the weekend no matter how bad the figures - they will have to have risen to such an extent in the weeks preceding that it prohibits any football that week. But it is possible that they might play one round after our game in hand and have to stop afterwards. To my mind, we've got two games to win.

Will we be at an advantage or disadvantage against Chelsea having played on the Wednesday?

Fantastic. So if we could do well in just two games and then have plenty of deaths at just the right time we could stay up !

It sounds mercenary, but Kante's return being delayed would help us hugely. I thought he was one of the major differences between us at Stamford Bridge.

Since the resumption of the Bundesliga, in 27 matches, there have been 12 away wins and just 5 home wins, so it does suggest, albeit on a smallish sample, that home advantage is diminished.

Also, I read that some players who were better in training and practice, but maybe less so with the pressure of a crowd, were coming to the fore.

Well, our away form certainly needs improvement and maybe we have some training superstars up our sleeves. I think we’ll need both to happen in order to stay up.

I just don’t see us amounting to much given our form. I hope I am wrong

We won't have played for three months - we haven't got any form.
