I think it will go down to the wire! A decent performance at the weekend and a victory will ease the tension! All to play for still IMO
Norwich let 2 goals in against a struggling side. Sheff u failed to win. Pressure starting to tell perhaps?
The game at Norwich must have been a good un, 1-0 down then 2 in two minutes in 86 and 88th minutes then Reading in the 97th ! If we do go up definitely after to strengthen significantly.
Likewise had an in play bet, stuck £2.00 onNorwich to win in the 79th min ( losing 1_0) and same with Hull who were drawing, cashed out in the 90th min for £79.00 ( it would have paid £80.00) then didn't realise until now that reading equalised
Rotherham had a real good go first half. I went to bog, came back and they'd turned to ****. Missed both goals.
Went to Rotherham game with my Villa friend.....made me concerned about what we are hoping for.....different level and I think we would struggle. Made me think of our last game at Derby when it was men against boys. Rotherham applied a lot of pressure and put a lot of balls into the box but didn't have the quality to finish but they are better than us (currently)...more physical, aggressive and have some good players too. Villa just have a different level of player in the attacking areas. Conor was quiet first half (apart from one superb 60 yard pass) but he strutted about second half like he was the man.....they played better with 10 men but I felt Rotherham were unfortunate not to get a point....still the big club bias in evidence....Grealish, as good a he is, went down too easy and dived about winning free kicks in dangerous areas...officials intimidated by the away support to give incorrect decisions, like throw ins and corners. Our U24 policy is ok at League 1 but we need some men in the side if we are going to survive in the championship if we get there.
