ExiledGeordie Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Tough match but pretty confident. The players appear to have come through these 3 games relatively unscathed and will have time to recover for a few days. We’re missing key attackers but still scoring goals and rock solid at the back and St James is a fortress thesedays. Might even have Maxi back on the bench as an option.

Coffee_Johnny Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Do we still slip on banana skins? Because this has all the signs of one in waiting. 7 points from three games which we would have all probably been absolutely delighted with 4 points from. I don’t think we do. Assuming we’re not overly leggy, or at least no more so than Villa (they’ve had three games in ten days, three in seven for us) we’ll have done the work on how to approach this. Both teams will have had a six day gap, which should enable us to regroup and recuperate. Dizzy heights of 24 points from 13 games (1.85 ppg 😃) seems very likely.

samptime29 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) If we can win 2 from next 3 before World Cup, we are in a really good position. Would love to stuff these but will take any win tbh. Edited October 24, 2022 by samptime29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Warthog Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I think we've got this one. We're at home and starting to string results together. We could end up with 30 points before the WC break... let's go for it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I'd like to urge caution. Villa are on a high and they will come out of the traps against us, they also have some dangerous players. Having Maxi on the bench would be a huge bonus. Would give us a real edge in the second half. I'm happy with how things are going, so let's just remain unbeaten please.

Mattoon Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 If we're gonna be winning points off the traditional top 6 then we have to be putting games like this at home to bed. Another clean sheet please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Villa have some dangerous players, and after the weekend Emery coming in and taming them might be a good thing (for us) in the short term tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) 3-0. The crowd will be well up for this. Howe will have us totally drilled and a game plan in place. Villa won’t. Players playing as individuals doesn’t work against us like it did against Brentford. Edited October 24, 2022 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Quote Aaron Danks will take charge of Aston Villa at Newcastle United this weekend. Unai Emery will start working next week as he waits for his work permit to come through. That'll do me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ooo if we beat these and then beat Southampton and Palace, which all are bottom half of table teams currently and it's fair to say we should expect to be beating, not that it means we will. That would put us on 30 points at the WC break, what a strong position that would be going into the rest of the season. No reason we can't achieve that, and just imagine going into Jan transfer window in in the top 4... as unlikely as it sounds never forget Leicester won the league. Probably just getting hyped by all the success currently on and off the pitch, but fuck me we're good, finally! I can't help but look at the upcoming games and think so many of them are winnable and we will be favourites to win those games, 5 of the next 6 are against bottom half teams currently, with some of those like Leicester and Leeds having bad starts.
