I'm seeing a bit of pessimism on here after yesterday. But let's keep it in perspective comrades.
Any point against Villa would have been welcome considering they are the form team, Champions League quarter finalists and much further along the Premiership progression road than we are. As it was, we had them on the ropes second half and were the width of a crossbar from a draw. If that had gone in it would've passed into the realm of comeback legend for ever. Fine margins.
We are not far off considering our mounting injuries and absences, plus our workload in the past week. We've been lucky so far this season but it's unfortunate that key players are unavailable at this business end of the season. Shows what a small squad we have when we can't put out a spearhead striker and play a midfielder at right back. But the benefit of a small squad is team spirit in a tight knit outfit which goes a long way.
On the plus side, whilst there are no easy games in the Prem our final 7 fixtures are against teams well below us until we get to Chelsea on the last day ( and that's at home).
Whatever happens, it's been a superb season, as we go into the final push, with a bonus trip to Wembley in the Cup. We've certainly proved a lot of people wrong and earned enormous respect by punching well above our weight.
So, keep the faith, and COYR! ????????.

Great post.

Six game season stokey as fester three points in the bag already
After going two goals down it was an impressive performance after that, but you have to take those sort of chances,
Villa could have lost that by 6 at least
Like you said in a previous post
Why try putting square pegs in round holes.

Superb post as usual Stokey. Our current injury situation had to happen at some stage. My only real concern is why Nuno doesn't promote some of our shining-stars from the U21's to fill the gaps.
Dare I say it - but I'm sure Cooper would have done so in our current situation.

Lego there aren't any shinning stars in the under 21s that will make premier league players just yet
It takes time for a club that's only in it's third season in premier to get the players of that quality to vome through
Look at osong as an example, svires giaks for us at under 21 but can't get a start in league one on loan.

Fester is a derby 79 they will be up for it there's no guarantees in football has Nuno said one game at a time but I know there's some fans out there who would like to see us not make European football just to get some sort of point across so they can feel a bit better in themselves about being wrong about Nuno.

Osong was returned by Rotherham injured, and in January sent to Cambridge who also returned him injured and now unfortunately has a severe chest infection! Awoniyi mk 2?. I wish we had closer links with Nott's and Mansfield, it's easier to take a look at the players on a regular basis and it worked for Yates and Grant.
I wonder weather Nuno, who likes to "Find a solution to the problem" has noticed Lewis Grabban walking around the training ground, he's younger than Woody ?.

It's only a Derby in their eyes
The sheep is the only derby ????.
07 Apr 2025 09:03:30
Whatever DTP but to think it's a guaranteed 3 points shows what I already know. you don't know anything about football mate ???.
07 Apr 2025 09:41:43
Put it thus way skeggs fester won't do us a favour tonight as they aren't capable.
07 Apr 2025 10:20:29
"the only garentee in football is there are no garentees" ?.
07 Apr 2025 20:54:32
Winter I guaranteed you they weren't capable of doing us a favour?
They are so poor it's unreal and vardy? ????.
07 Apr 2025 23:58:53
Lol DTP, i never questioned they are absolutely s***e, just a little fact, its almost impossible to predict football results, well maybe not results but actual scores. Otherwise we'd all be millionaires?.
08 Apr 2025 10:27:53
Who was on about correct scores?
I've just proved you can predict a result, so what are you on about ??.
