Hopes & expectations for 2024/25 Season

[Lucky Eddie]

Stay up

Top four

Beat small heath at home in either quarter final

Very random! You're predicting staying up AND top 4, then expecting Blues to make a QF haha

They're hopes.

QF win means we've taken at least of the cup seriously and puts us in a semi final at least.

I've just hit the pre season wobble.  Through the first round of Big Cup, top 6 and a cup run.  Even typing that has given me anxiety.

Can see us struggling in the early part of the premier league season - finish 7th and hopefully win the FA Cup

Champions league, hopefully we can get through to the 1st knock out round of the competition

[Olneythelonely]

Top 8
Win a cup
Get through the first round of the Champions League

Yeah, what kind of impersonations can you do?

My first post after years of browsing.

Welcome to the site Aztec Guy.

Cheers!

I'm from Brum originally but my missus is from here (Mexico).
She is a big Villa fan now and has been to plenty of games over the last few years.

As long as your missus' name isn't Juanita Martinez, it'll be grand.

I had a dream last night that we lost our first nine league games.

I was thinking of putting a tenner on, but it's at odds with my ｣25 on us winning the league, so don't think I'll bother.

4th to 6th in the Premiership.
Beyond the group stage in Chumps League.
Quarter-final in the FA cup.
Out in an early round in the League cup using the kids.

I知 pessimistic about the CL. I think we値l finish top half of the league. A round or two in the League Cup. But I think we値l somehow win the FA Cup. Emery will be unhappy with the season and frustrated that despite performing beneath  his high standards, statues of him pop up across Birmingham like mushrooms and old men greet him with tears in their eyes.

Decent showing in Champion's League. Top 6 in League.

And win a bloody Cup, preferably FA Cup.

Last season, our first eleven could go toe to toe with any other league team. However, the squad quality was not there. If it was, last year would have been a title challenge.

As of right now, I think we have addressed the quality of the squad so i suspect we will manage the amount of games better this time around. However, I think our first eleven has lost some real quality in Luiz and Diaby and with Kamara still out injured. For that reason, and with the Champions League being a sterner test than the Conference League, I think it might be more of a top 7 season than a top 4 season.

I壇 agree with this. We definitely need a couple of quality players in before we can compete in Europe and the league again. If we can get them in then anything is possible.
Luiz and Diaby need replacing and we also need another centre half and maybe 2 if Carlos goes. I知 presuming it値l take Mings a good while yet to get up to speed. Onana should be a decent replacement for Kamara.

Didn't want our first season back in Europe's premier club competition to be a season of transition but here we are.

7th in the league
Might give one or two of the big sides in the EC a bloody nose at VP but out @ the group stages
LC: Out to Chelsea or Man Citeh away with a weakened side
FA Cup: The FA Cup has been erased

On the plus side, only one ACL this season

[Pete3206]

As per every one of my Villa supporting years, an FA Cup final win
League - top 7
League Cup - I'd take it
Champions League - To progress from the league stage even in 24th, would be amazing.

I'll probably not bother to answer this right now tbqhwy.
