Being reported we want Sam Gallagher in the summer either on loan or 3mil, sounds a good deal as he's young, scored goals for a poor Blackburn side and sounds like a good deal so follows on from our Jan business.
They also reckon we will try and either loan Johnstone again or buy him permanent, he's been quality last few weeks but don't know if his the keeper to play 46 games in a season and help us get promoted, I think experience and a cool head from the back is needed for that.
Hope we continue with the good business this window as we did in January, just look at the players who are performing on loans, Tammy Abraham, Izzy Brown; players that are quality and available either on a loan or cheap.
The recent injuries show us that we still need more depth if we want promotion next year.

Hey lads. Just want to inform you that if Sheffield Wednesday loses the next four matches and Aston Villa wins the next four matches, then we can be in the play-offs and possibly qualify for the Premier League. There are eight matches left, so technically we can still do this. Let's continue supporting the team. Up the Villa!

Are u forgetting all the teams between villa and Sheffield Wednesday? They aren't all going to lose all their games.

I belive brother I belive! UTV.

Bit misleading mate, we aren't 7th, still relying on Barnsley, Derby, Preston, Norwich, Fulham and then Sheffield Wednesday on top of that.

Jesus christ almighty.

^^^^Pmsl I think that's who we need Mendex.

8 games let and i think we should be dissapointed if we come away with less than 15 points.
29 Mar 2017 18:47:42
I think you're right Villadaz
I'd still only rate our chances as 1 in 10
Not a hope of making the playoffs.

I'm not sure reaching the Prem this season would be a good result.
Another season in championship with positive results, go up as winners, or runners up.
Yeah a good run till end of season to keep momentum going. but to go up now, we would be whipping boys again!
No thanks!

Considering when Bruce took over we were 11 games in with 1 win 3 losses and 7 draws, teetering above the relegation zone, I'd be more than happy finishing in the top 10, with a good run of form coming to the end of the season. One of the best squads in the league, competitive and looking favourites to go up next year. And tanking the blues at home putting them in the relegation zone would be a nice bonus.

We are not making play offs lads, asking a little to much with our current position. love your enthusiasm though. More to the point, How do you think we will fair against Norwich. we have people back from injury and suspension so we should perform well. looking to another win to keep our momentum going in the right direction. It should be a good game think it will be fiercely contested.

norwich and brighton are the only teams i think we can struggle against, now we might not make playoffs but as long as we go down fighting we can improve on this team and easy walk the league next season.
31 Mar 2017 09:50:28
Why would we want to go up this season?
We need to treat the last 8 games as an extended pre season and get everyone fully fit and ready to fight from the first game next time around.
If we play this right we could be unbeaten next season with the best defence and the most creative midfield in the country with two of the hottest strikers in the British isles (If Jimmy Danger starts passing)
It is not beyond the realms of possibility that we go on a good cup run and get more than one Wembley day out of 2018. let's face it the Liverpool game was probably the best feeling since Blues 5-1 and the Arsenal final was a great day apart from 90 minutes where we watched 11 players on the pitch v 11 gnomes fishing for a plastic koi that's already stuck on their poles.
Lets do what Bruce says and get in one or two good players that will help the squad, not whole sale changes as he did in January, but he has learned and admitted that that was the wrong thing to do.
I would have downing back if that would add something but if it doesn't let's blood some of the young and hungry kids that want to play for the shirt and would die for the Lion.
Just look at the youngsters brawl against West Ham that's passion.
Up the Villa
Lets smash the canneries tomorrow.
See you in the Tavern before for a pint.

Not mathematically impossible but most improbable that we reach 6th. As for being too early and why would we want it now, any promotion will need a good rebuild and as we have heard we will need 3 overhauls 1 promotion side, 2 Premier survival side and 3 top four contender side. I would love we could start now but also am realist let's muller Canaries today as need to get a massive win at VP at least once this season! UTV.

Well done villa and my little smirk continues to smirk at all the brucie doubters who wanted him sacked not so long ago (rome)
