Saints Fan Dan Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Villa are a terrible side and they ought to go down. However, unlike us, they're one of those sides who can pull results out of the bag and do just enough to survive. We should be going for all 3 tomorrow.
sotonjoe Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 No. A point is only one more than no points.
Window Cleaner Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Villa are a terrible side and they ought to go down. However, unlike us, they're one of those sides who can pull results out of the bag and do just enough to survive. We should be going for all 3 tomorrow. Should be, but the match Benteke-Jos gives me the shudders, in fact just Jos gives me the shudders. Jos without José doesn't inspire me.
Mr X Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 would we take a loss? Or would we be calling for Adkins head to roll?
DT Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Benteke is ok and we're suddenly looking ropey at the back. Suspect failure to get players in will again cost us.
timayes Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Some of their fans are worse than some on here (albeit, not on this particular thread) It seems they would snap our hand off for a low scoring defeat!! Where do you have to go to actually get these points/results before a ball has been kicked anyway? http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/8078-match-thread-please-do-not-talk-about-streams-in-this-thread/
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 No thank you. I don't suppose for one moment that it will be easy, but not only do we need all the points from this game, I think - with a bit of luck - we can get them. A draw would not be a disaster, but losing this one on the other hand would be a proper downer.
S-Clarke Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Nah, not at all to be honest. Looking at our up-coming fixtures, this really needs to be a 3 points. We couldn't really be playing Villa at a better time either. Injuries to all of their exprienced players, on the back of horrible defeats and a humbling to lower league opposition. They are rock bottom at the moment and we have to make the most of this chance. We're missing players, yep, but we should still have more than enough in our attack to cause their defense problems. If we don't, then I'd start to be very worried. We need to start winning more away games, and this has to be one we target as a win. Wigan went there, retained the ball and picked them off. We can do the same.
Restark19 Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Nope. Have to win this. Villa are a very poor side, Lambert's a poor manager, we should be winning this
Bucks Saint Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I think we will lose 3-0. That's almost positive by your standards
S-Clarke Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Nope. Have to win this. Villa are a very poor side, Lambert's a poor manager, we should be winning this Lambert isn't a poor manager what so ever. He's just taken the wrong move, he saw more potential at Villa than Norwich - but that's not paying off at the mo..
Saints foreva Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Nope. Have to win this. Villa are a very poor side, Lambert's a poor manager, we should be winning this Did wonders at Norwich. Hardly a poor manager... The over-confidence on this forum is hilarious, Villa may be on an awful run but we're not exactly on great form ourselves. 1 win in 7 and no Fonte. I thought Fonte's injury would make us step up our attempts of signing a CB earlier in this window, but obviously I was wrong and we will have to rely on Jos (who has been ****ing dreadful this season and was also poor last season when Fonte wasn't in the side).
Baldbarbarian Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Lawro tips our opposition every week the slug lipped tool !
CB Fry Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Lawro tips our opposition every week the slug lipped tool ! Except he doesn't.
ottery st mary Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 :)3 points.......Saints to win 3-1............Positive approach.. COYS Sort it out boyzzz:D
aintforever Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 I would usually take a point but looking at the run of fixtures after this I think we have to win.
Ziggy Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 No. I sit opposite Villa fans. I am going to the game with Villa fans. I am having pre drinks with Villa fans. Three points.
Edmonton Saint Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 If we don't win this one, then serious questions need to be asked of Adkins. A few brave souls here have dared to raise doubts over the last few weeks and have been shot down. Typical Adkins this week " Beware of Villa they will be like a wounded Animal after the Bradford result" Well correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we lose our last home game 5-1, so shouldn't we also be looking for reaction? Doubt it though as its only a cup game so didn't matter.. HYPOCRISY.
Norm Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 2-2 today. Looking at the next two games after today, we really could do with all three points at Villa.
bender Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I think we'll tonk Villa. Really looking forward to today. A great big ground and 3 points on offer. The two don't usually go together.
Ewell Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 In a relegation battle you need to try and take at least 4 points off your relegation rivals and a draw at Villa Park would give us that total. If we do not get beaten then it would be a good result and if we win then a real bonus.
DT Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I'm now taking a draw after my dream last night. Went one up (Lambert), then threw it all away in extra time. Adkins picked Davis in goal. Hopefully this is balderdash.
hutch Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 In a relegation battle you need to try and take at least 4 points off your relegation rivals and a draw at Villa Park would give us that total. If we do not get beaten then it would be a good result and if we win then a real bonus. We're gonna struggle to take 4 off Wigan. Or Sunderland. So we need to take more than 4 when we can.
SaintBobby Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Actually, thinking about it....don't think I will settle for a point. Sorry for the change of heart :-)
