Trip to Stoke

Stoke...

Bottom of the table
No wins this season
11 goals conceded already
Conceded 4 in each of their last 3 games
Stoke have conceded more goals this calender year than Villa
5 wins since January
Pulis has never lost to Stoke since leaving them
We've beaten Stoke the last 3 times we've played them

You know what's going to happen, don't you?

Yes. Rondon is class. With more service he could get 20 goals this season for sure.

Albion look dangerous when more attack minded. Hopefully Pulis will wake up and see that too!

A deserved point.

Didn't go but seems like a slight improvement compared to some of our other away performances. Really do miss a creative CM though just to help us control possession at times.

Decent point all things considered.

Oh and about Rondon...can't believe we have fans that don't rate him. If he was at a top 8 club he would be banging 15-20 goals a season.

Was it a point won or two points dropped because of the way we set up to play?
We simply have to attack Sunderland next week. If we go 2-0 down, 1, it'll be a scandal, and 2, we won't recover like Palace did yesterday.

We've got 3 very tough fixtures after the Sunderland game so a defeat would be bad. I really can't see us setting up to attack though.

We've had a very favourable start fixture wise. Looking back at our 2 victories, the Palace game came at a time when they couldn't score for toffee and West Ham are seemingly getting turned over by everyone.

Hope i'm wrong but I suspect we'll be in a relegation fight by the end of October if we don't beat Sunderland.

Against my better judgement, I'm going to say we'll beat Sunderland and then somehow finagle points from our tougher fixtures.

I don't see the best sides as awe-inspiring as used to be the case. If you accept the premise that the top sides are the 2 Manchesters, Liverpool, Everton, Spurs,Arsenal and Chelsea

How can you disregard your own teams victories so easily.

It's absolute balls. If that's how we are doing things then every team that plays us should fancy their chances. Right?

I'll wager we are comfortable of the drop come April?
