Live Match Discussion: 2020/21

[Jack Regan]

Villa all over the place at the back, Martinez at fault for the 2nd.

 

[redvictor]

Let's hope we do the same to them! Grealish not out for too long according to BBC, which will be a shame.. Without him they look tosh.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I do like how Tyrone Mings is never anywhere near where he's supposed to be.

I thought it was 5-6 weeks he was out for?

Commentator said he's expected back for their next game

 

[PuntsWolf]

Grealish out for 5 weeks apparently

We’re a better team than them with him (I know the table says different). Definitely better without him. Should be targeting a win from that one.

Battling Villa, Spurs and Arsenal for 8th is probably the best we can do. Everton are too far ahead.

This.

There's still 13 games left. Who knows if we keep getting results. What is killing us (and always has under Nuno in the PL ) is our goal difference. It's not even close to the teams above us. We need to improve that for sure, or like last season we will keep losing out because of it.

Jack Grealish’s layoff for #avfc relates to shin splints, “although not as bad as before” - source. It’s serious enough and often a consequence of overplaying as a youngster while bones are still growing. We should be a little concerned at his age. #utv

We could go at 2 points a game for the next 13 and probably still miss out on 7th.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Better go higher than 2ppg then.

It's not a given though, either way. With the way this season has gone who knows where you can end up. We are only 7 points off 6th place! All they need to do is just keep it going one game at a time, but i'm sure the team know what they have to do to get there. Ovbviously easier said than done!

Think the wide-eyed optimism today is a bit misplaced. We've steadied the ship but let's not get silly

A shit ton better to read compared to the wrist slitting from a month ago. So much better to get giddy about chasing down 7th than worrying Sheff Utd, Albion and Fulham all going catch us and finish higher.
Keep that wide-eyed optimism going I say.

Nah, they're both for the birds imo. Say what you see rather than wishful thinking or overly doomy contemplation.

You can't give a reality check to someone a month ago who thought we were relegation fodder and not do the same now at talk of finishing in a Euro spot

 

[Tony Towner]

Agreed. In what has undoubtedly been an improvement in intent in the last game and a half we've scored from a penalty a worldie and a freak og. When we start creating and scoring chances I'll start looking up the table

Not really talking about reality checks, just nicer to read people being positive however far ahead of themselves they are getting.
I think everyone knows a boring table finish awaits us but we are all stuck in a negative Covid bubble so any chance to be positive take it and run with it.

 

[AndyWolves]

Let's just see how we go. 7 points off 7th and 7th has a game in hand.

Yea, or maybe we should just be doom and gloom while we are stuck not being able to go anywhere, or do anything. Got to be positive about it all. We'll finish were we finish after 38 games. Maybe it'll be right were we are now, but you have to think we can go up the table with the positive run we've had. Or should we send a message to the team to get back to where they were 5 games ago to tell them to stop winning!
Some people could win the lottery, but still find a way to put a downer on it...
This place was miserable as fuck a couple of weeks ago. Now it's pleasant.

A master of social distancing.
